Details:
- Removed explicit reference to The University of Texas at Austin in the
third clause of the license comment blocks of all relevant files and
replaced it with a more all-encompassing "copyright holder(s)".
- Removed duplicate words ("derived") from a few kernels' license
comment blocks.
- Homogenized license comment block in kernels/zen/3/bli_gemm_small.c
with format of all other comment blocks.
Details:
- Lifted the constraint that 1m only be used when all operands' storage
datatypes (along with the computation datatype) are equal. Now, 1m may
be used as long as all operands are stored in the complex domain. This
change largely consisted of adding the ability to pack to 1e and 1r
formats from one precision to another. It also required adding logic
for handling complex values of alpha to bli_packm_blk_var1_md()
(similar to the logic in bli_packm_blk_var1()).
- Fixed a bug in several virtual microkernels (bli_gemm_md_c2r_ref.c,
bli_gemm1m_ref.c, and bli_gemmtrsm1m_ref.c) that resulted in the wrong
ukernel output preference field being read. Previously, the preference
for the native complex ukernel was being read instead of the pref for
the native real domain ukernel. This bug would not manifest if the
preference for the native complex ukernel happened to be equal to that
of the native real ukernel.
- Added support for testing mixed-precision 1m execution via the gemm
module of the testsuite.
- Tweaked/simplified bli_gemm_front() and bli_gemm_md.c so that pack
schemas are always read from the context, rather than trying to
sometimes embed them directly to the A and B objects. (They are still
embedded, but now uniformly only after reading the schemas from the
context.)
- Redefined cpp macro bli_l3_ind_recast_1m_params() as a static function
and renamed to bli_gemm_ind_recast_1m_params() (since gemm is the only
consumer).
- Added 1m optimization logic (via bli_gemm_ind_recast_1m_params()) to
bli_gemm_ker_var2_md().
- Added explicit handling for beta == 1 and beta == 0 in the reference
gemm1m virtual microkernel in ref_kernels/ind/bli_gemm1m_ref.c.
- Rewrote various level-0 macro defs, including axpyris, axpbyris,
scal2ris, and xpbyris (and their conjugating counterparts) to
explicitly support three operand types and updated invocations to
xpbyris in bli_gemmtrsm1m_ref.c.
- Query and use the storage datatype of the packed object instead of the
storage datatype of the source object in bli_packm_blk_var1().
- Relocated and renamed frame/ind/misc/bli_l3_ind_opt.h to
frame/3/gemm/ind/bli_gemm_ind_opt.h.
- Various whitespace/comment updates.
Details:
- Implemented support for gemm where A, B, and C may have different
storage datatypes, as well as a computational precision (and implied
computation domain) that may be different from the storage precision
of either A or B. This results in 128 different combinations, all
which are implemented within this commit. (For now, the mixed-datatype
functionality is only supported via the object API.) If desired, the
mixed-datatype support may be disabled at configure-time.
- Added a memory-intensive optimization to certain mixed-datatype cases
that requires a single m-by-n matrix be allocated (temporarily) per
call to gemm. This optimization aims to avoid the overhead involved in
repeatedly updating C with general stride, or updating C after a
typecast from the computation precision. This memory optimization may
be disabled at configure-time (provided that the mixed-datatype
support is enabled in the first place).
- Added support for testing mixed-datatype combinations to testsuite.
The user may test gemm with mixed domains, precisions, both, or
neither.
- Added a standalone test driver directory for building and running
mixed-datatype performance experiments.
- Defined a new variation of castm, castnzm, which operates like castm
except that imaginary values are not touched when casting a real
operand to a complex operand. (By contrast, in these situations castm
sets the imaginary components of the destination matrix to zero.)
- Defined bli_obj_imag_is_zero() and substituted calls in lieu of all
usages of bli_obj_imag_equals() that tested against BLIS_ZERO, and
also simplified the implementation of bli_obj_imag_equals().
- Fixed bad behavior from bli_obj_is_real() and bli_obj_is_complex()
when given BLIS_CONSTANT objects.
- Disabled dt_on_output field in auxinfo_t structure as well as all
accessor functions. Also commented out all usage of accessor
functions within macrokernels. (Typecasting in the microkernel is
still feasible, though probably unrealistic for now given the
additional complexity required.)
- Use void function pointer type (instead of void*) for storing function
pointers in bli_l0_fpa.c.
- Added documentation for using gemm with mixed datatypes in
docs/MixedDatatypes.md and example code in examples/oapi/11gemm_md.c.
- Defined level-1d operation xpbyd and level-1m operation xpbym.
- Added xpbym test module to testsuite.
- Updated frame/include/bli_x86_asm_macros.h with additional macros
(courtsey of Devin Matthews).
