Details:
- Defined a new level-1d operation called 'shiftd', including object and
typed APIs. This operation adds a scalar value to every element along
an arbitrary diagonal of a matrix. Currently, shiftd is implemented in
terms of the addv kernel. (The scalar is passed in as the x vector
with an increment of zero.)
- Replaced ad-hoc usage of setd and addd (after creating a temporary
matrix object) with use of shiftd, which is much more concise, in
various test driver files in the testsuite. Similar changes were made
to the standalone test drivers and the example code.
- Added documentation entries in BLISObjectAPI.md and BLISTypedAPI.md
for bli_shiftd() and bli_?shiftd(), respectively.
- Added observed object properties to level-1d documentation in
BLISObjectAPI.md.
Details:
- Removed four trailing spaces after "BLIS" that occurs in most files'
commented-out license headers.
- Added UT copyright lines to some files. (These files previously had
only AMD copyright lines but were contributed to by both UT and AMD.)
- In some files' copyright lines, expanded 'The University of Texas' to
'The University of Texas at Austin'.
- Fixed various typos/misspellings in some license headers.
Details:
- Added new example code to examples/tapi demonstrating how to use the
BLIS typed API. These code examples directly mirror the corresponding
example code files in examples/oapi. This setup provides a convenient
opportunity for newcomers to BLIS to compare and contrast the typed
and object APIs when they are used to perform the same tasks.
- Minor cleanups to examples/oapi.
Details:
- Implemented bli_acquire_mpart(), a general-purpose submatrix view
function that will alias an obj_t to be a submatrix "view" of an
existing obj_t.
- Renumbered examples in examples/oapi and inserted a new example file,
03obj_view.c, which shows how to use bli_acquire_mpart() to obtain
submatrix views of existing objects, which can then be used to
indirectly modify the parent object.
