Removed export macros from all internal prototypes.
Details: - After merging PR #303, at Isuru's request, I removed the use of BLIS_EXPORT_BLIS from all function prototypes *except* those that we potentially wish to be exported in shared/dynamic libraries. In other words, I removed the use of BLIS_EXPORT_BLIS from all prototypes of functions that can be considered private or for internal use only. This is likely the last big modification along the path towards implementing the functionality spelled out in issue #248. Thanks again to Isuru Fernando for his initial efforts of sprinkling the export macros throughout BLIS, which made removing them where necessary relatively painless. Also, I'd like to thank Tony Kelman, Nathaniel Smith, Ian Henriksen, Marat Dukhan, and Matthew Brett for participating in the initial discussion in issue #37 that was later summarized and restated in issue #248. - CREDITS file update. |

Remove UT-Austin from copyright headers' clause 3.
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.

Trivial comment header updates.
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. |

Defined static function bli_blksz_scale_def_max().
Details: - Added a new static function to bli_blksz.h that scales both the default (regular) blocksize as well as the maximum blocksize in the blksz_t object. Reminder: maximum blocksizes have different meanings in different contexts. For register blocksizes, they refer to the packing register blocksizes (PACKMR or PACKNR) while for cache blocksizes, they refer to the maximum blocksize to use during the final iteration of a loop. |

Fixed a bug in e31f0b3/b131b9a.
Details: - Erroneously placed the "don't overwrite existing blocksize" logic in bli_blksz_init*() rather than in bli_cntx_set_blkszs(). It belongs in the latter because that function copies blocksizes as-is from the blksz_t function argument to the appropriate field in the cntx_t. If the blksz_t was previously initialized selectively, based on the sign of the blocksize value passed into bli_blksz_init*(), that just leaves some fields possibly uninitialized (with garbage values), which definitely will not work. - The aforementioned logic has been moved to bli_cntx_set_blkszs() via a new function bli_blksz_copy_if_pos(), which selectively copies only the blocksizes that are greater than zero. |

Implemented runtime kernel management.
Details: - Reworked the build system around a configuration registry file, named config_registry', that identifies valid configuration targets, their constituent sub-configurations, and the kernel sets that are needed by those sub-configurations. The build system now facilitates the building of a single library that can contains kernels and cache/register blocksizes for multiple configurations (microarchitectures). Reference kernels are also built on a per-configuration basis. - Updated the Makefile to use new variables set by configure via the config.mk.in template, such as CONFIG_LIST, KERNEL_LIST, and KCONFIG_MAP, in determining which sub-configurations (CONFIG_LIST) and kernel sets (KERNEL_LIST) are included in the library, and which make_defs.mk files' CFLAGS (KCONFIG_MAP) are used when compiling kernels. - Reorganized 'kernels' directory into a "flat" structure. Renamed kernel functions into a standard format that includes the kernel set name (e.g. 'haswell'). Created a "bli_kernels_<kernelset>.h" file in each kernels sub-directory. These files exist to provide prototypes for the kernels present in those directories. - Reorganized reference kernels into a top-level 'ref_kernels' directory. This directory includes a new source file, bli_cntx_ref.c (compiled on a per-configuration basis), that defines the code needed to initialize a reference context and a context for induced methods for the microarchitecture in question. - Rewrote make_defs.mk files in each configuration so that the compiler variables (e.g. CFLAGS) are "stored" (renamed) on a per-configuration basis. - Modified bli_config.h.in template so that bli_config.h is generated with #defines for the config (family) name, the sub-configurations that are associated with the family, and the kernel sets needed by those sub-configurations. - Deprecated all kernel-related information in bli_kernel.h and transferred what remains to new header files named "bli_arch_<configname>.h", which are conditionally #included from a new header bli_arch.h. These files are still needed to set library-wide parameters such as custom malloc()/free() functions or SIMD alignment values. - Added bli_cntx_init_<configname>.c files to each configuration directory. The files contain a function, named the same as the file, that initializes a "native" context for a particular configuration (microarchitecture). The idea is that optimized kernels, if available, will be initialized into these contexts. Other fields will retain pointers to reference functions, which will be compiled on a per-configuration basis. These bli_cntx_init_*() functions will be called during the initialization of the global kernel structure. They are thought of as initializing for "native" execution, but they also form the basis for contexts that use induced methods. These functions are prototyped, along with their _ref() and _ind() brethren, by prototype-generating macros in bli_arch.h. - Added a new typedef enum in bli_type_defs.h to define an arch_t, which identifies the various sub-configurations. - Redesigned the global kernel structure (gks) around a 2D array of cntx_t structures (pointers to cntx_t, actually). The first dimension is indexed over arch_t and the inner dimension is the ind_t (induced method) for each microarchitecture. When a microarchitecture (configuration) is "registered" at init-time, the inner array for that configuration in the 2D array is initialized (and allocated, if it hasn't been already). The cntx_t slot for BLIS_NAT is initialized immediately and those for other induced method types are initialized and cached on-demand, as needed. At cntx_t registration, we also store function pointers to cntx_init functions that will initialize (a) "reference" contexts and (b) contexts for use with induced methods. We don't cache the full contexts for reference contexts since they are rarely needed. The functions that initialize these two kinds of contexts are generated automatically for each targeted sub-configuration from cpp-templatized code at compile-time. Induced method contexts that need "stage" adjustments can still obtain them via functions in bli_cntx_ind_stage.c. - Added new functions and functionality to bli_cntx.c, such as for setting the level-1f, level-1v, and packm kernels, and for converting a native context into one for executing an induced method. - Moved the checking of register/cache blocksize consistency from being cpp macros in bli_kernel_macro_defs.h to being runtime checks defined in bli_check.c and called from bli_gks_register_cntx() at the time that the global kernel structure's internal context is initialized for a given microarchitecture/configuration. - Deprecated all of the old per-operation bli_*_cntx.c files and removed the previous operation-level cntx_t_init()/_finalize() invocations. Instead, we now query the gks for a suitable context, usually via bli_gks_query_cntx(). - Deprecated support for the 3m2 and 3m3 induced methods. (They required hackery that I was no longer willing to support.) - Consolidated the 1e and 1r packm kernels for any given register blocksize into a single kernel that will branch on the schema and support packing to both formats. - Added the cntx_t* argument to all packm kernel signatures. - Deprecated the local function pointer array in all bli_packm_cxk*.c files and instead obtain the packm kernel from the cntx_t. - Added bli_calloc_intl(), which serves as the calloc-equivalent to to bli_malloc_intl(). Useful when we wish to allocate and initialize to zero/NULL. - Converted existing cpp macro functions defined in bli_blksz.h, bli_func.h, bli_cntx.h into static functions. |

Moved 'family' field from cntx_t to cntl_t.
Details: - Removed the family field inside the cntx_t struct and re-added it to the cntl_t struct. Updated all accessor functions/macros accordingly, as well as all consumers and intermediaries of the family parameter (such as bli_l3_thread_decorator(), bli_l3_direct(), and bli_l3_prune_*()). This change was motivated by the desire to keep the context limited, as much as possible, to information about the computing environment. (The family field, by contrast, is a descriptor about the operation being executed.) - Added additional functions to bli_blksz_*() API. - Added additional functions to bli_cntx_*() API. - Minor updates to bli_func.c, bli_mbool.c. - Removed 'obj' from bli_blksz_*() API names. - Removed 'obj' from bli_cntx_*() API names. - Removed 'obj' from bli_cntl_*(), bli_*_cntl_*() API names. Renamed routines that operate only on a single struct to contain the "_node" suffix to differentiate with those routines that operate on the entire tree. - Added enums for packm and unpackm kernels to bli_type_defs.h. - Removed BLIS_1F and BLIS_VF from bszid_t definition in bli_type_defs.h. They weren't being used and probably never will be. |

Implemented the 1m method.
Details: - Implemented the 1m method for inducing complex domain matrix multiplication. 1m support has been added to all level-3 operations, including trsm, and is now the default induced method when native complex domain gemm microkernels are omitted from the configuration. - Updated _cntx_init() operations to take a datatype parameter. This was needed for the corresponding function for 1m (because 1m requires us to choose between column-oriented or row-oriented execution, which requires us to query the context for the storage preference of the gemm microkernel, which requires knowing the datatype) but I decided that it made sense for consistency to add the parameter to all other cntx initialization functions as well, even though those functions don't use the parameter. - Updated bli_cntx_set_blkszs() and bli_gks_cntx_set_blkszs() to take a second scalar for each blocksize entry. The semantic meaning of the two scalars now is that the first will scale the default blocksize while the second will scale the maximum blocksize. This allows scaling the two independently, and was needed to support 1m, which requires scaling for a register blocksize but not the register storage blocksize (ie: "packdim") analogue. - Deprecated bli_blksz_reduce_dt_to() and defined two new functions, bli_blksz_reduce_def_to() and bli_blksz_reduce_max_to(), for reducing default and maximum blocksizes to some desired blocksize multiple. These functions are needed in the updated definitions of bli_cntx_set_blkszs() and bli_gks_cntx_set_blkszs(). - Added support for the 1e and 1r packing schemas to packm, including 1e/1r packing kernels. - Added a minor optimization to bli_gemm_ker_var2() that allows, under certain circumstances (specifically, real domain beta and row- or column-stored matrix C), the real domain macrokernel and microkernel to be called directly, rather than using the virtual microkernel via the complex domain macrokernel, which carries a slight additional amount of overhead. - Added 1m support to the testsuite. - Added 1m support to Makefile and runme.sh in test/3m4m. Also simplified some code in test_gemm.c driver. |

First phase of control tree redesign.
Details: - These changes constitute the first set of changes in preparation to revamping the structure and use of control trees in BLIS. Modifications in this commit don't affect the control tree code yet, but rather lay the groundwork. - Defined wrappers for the following functions, where the the wrappers each take a direction parameter of a new enumerated type (BLIS_BWD or BLIS_FWD), dir_t, and executes the correct underlying function. - bli_acquire_mpart_*() and _vpart_*() - bli_*_determine_kc_[fb]() - bli_thread_get_range_*() and bli_thread_get_range_weighted_*() - Consolidated all 'f' (forwards-moving) and 'b' (backwards-moving) blocked variants for trmm and trsm, and renamed gemm and herk variants accordingly. The direction is now queried via routines such as bli_trmm_direct(), which deterines the direction from the implied side and uplo parameters. For gemm and herk, it is uncondtionally BLIS_FWD. - Defined wrappers to parameter-specific macrokernels for herk, trmm, and trsm, e.g. bli_trmm_xx_ker_var2(), that execute the correct underlying macrokernel based on the implied parameters. The same logic used to choose the dir_t in _direct() functions is used here. - Simplified the function pointer arrays in _int() functions given the consolidation and dir_t querying mentioned above. - Function signature (whitespace) reformatting for various functions. - Removed old code in various 'old' directories. |

Implemented runtime contexts and reorganized code.
Details:
- Retrofitted a new data structure, known as a context, into virtually
all internal APIs for computational operations in BLIS. The structure
is now present within the type-aware APIs, as well as many supporting
utility functions that require information stored in the context. User-
level object APIs were unaffected and continue to be "context-free,"
however, these APIs were duplicated/mirrored so that "context-aware"
APIs now also exist, differentiated with an "_ex" suffix (for "expert").
These new context-aware object APIs (along with the lower-level, type-
aware, BLAS-like APIs) contain the the address of a context as a last
parameter, after all other operands. Contexts, or specifically, cntx_t
object pointers, are passed all the way down the function stack into
the kernels and allow the code at any level to query information about
the runtime, such as kernel addresses and blocksizes, in a thread-
friendly manner--that is, one that allows thread-safety, even if the
original source of the information stored in the context changes at
run-time; see next bullet for more on this "original source" of info).
(Special thanks go to Lee Killough for suggesting the use of this kind
of data structure in discussions that transpired during the early
planning stages of BLIS, and also for suggesting such a perfectly
appropriate name.)
- Added a new API, in frame/base/bli_gks.c, to define a "global kernel
structure" (gks). This data structure and API will allow the caller to
initialize a context with the kernel addresses, blocksizes, and other
information associated with the currently active kernel configuration.
The currently active kernel configuration within the gks cannot be
changed (for now), and is initialized with the traditional cpp macros
that define kernel function names, blocksizes, and the like. However,
in the future, the gks API will be expanded to allow runtime management
of kernels and runtime parameters. The most obvious application of this
new infrastructure is the runtime detection of hardware (and the
implied selection of appropriate kernels). With contexts in place,
kernels may even be "hot swapped" at runtime within the gks. Once
execution enters a level-3 _front() function, the memory allocator will
be reinitialized on-the-fly, if necessary, to accommodate the new
kernels' blocksizes. If another application thread is executing with
another (previously loaded) kernel, it will finish in a deterministic
fashion because its kernel information was loaded into its context
before computation began, and also because the blocks it checked out
from the internal memory pools will be unaffected by the newer threads'
reinitialization of the allocator.
- Reorganized and streamlined the 'ind' directory, which contains much of
the code enabling use of induced methods for complex domain matrix
multiplication; deprecated bli_bsv_query.c and bli_ukr_query.c, as
those APIs' functionality is now mostly subsumed within the global
kernel structure.
- Updated bli_pool.c to define a new function, bli_pool_reinit_if(),
that will reinitialize a memory pool if the necessary pool block size
has increased.
- Updated bli_mem.c to use bli_pool_reinit_if() instead of
bli_pool_reinit() in the definition of bli_mem_pool_init(), and placed
usage of contexts where appropriate to communicate cache and register
blocksizes to bli_mem_compute_pool_block_sizes().
- Simplified control trees now that much of the information resides in
the context and/or the global kernel structure:
- Removed blocksize object pointers (blksz_t*) fields from all control
tree node definitions and replaced them with blocksize id (bszid_t)
values instead, which may be passed into a context query routine in
order to extract the corresponding blocksize from the given context.
- Removed micro-kernel function pointers (func_t*) fields from all
control tree node definitions. Now, any code that needs these function
pointers can query them from the local context, as identified by a
level-3 micro-kernel id (l3ukr_t), level-1f kernel id, (l1fkr_t), or
level-1v kernel id (l1vkr_t).
- Removed blksz_t object creation and initialization, as well as kernel
function object creation and initialization, from all operation-
specific control tree initialization files (bli_*_cntl.c), since this
information will now live in the gks and, secondarily, in the context.
- Removed blocksize multiples from blksz_t objects. Now, we track
blocksize multiples for each blocksize id (bszid_t) in the context
object.
- Removed the bool_t's that were required when a func_t was initialized.
These bools are meant to allow one to track the micro-kernel's storage
preferences (by rows or columns). This preference is now tracked
separately within the gks and contexts.
- Merged and reorganized many separate-but-related functions into single
files. This reorganization affects frame/0, 1, 1d, 1m, 1f, 2, 3, and
util directories, but has the most obvious effect of allowing BLIS
to compile noticeably faster.
- Reorganized execution paths for level-1v, -1d, -1m, and -2 operations
in an attempt to reduce overhead for memory-bound operations. This
includes removal of default use of object-based variants for level-2
operations. Now, by default, level-2 operations will directly call a
low-level (non-object based) loop over a level-1v or -1f kernel.
- Converted many common query functions in blk_blksz.c (renamed from
bli_blocksize.c) and bli_func.c into cpp macros, now defined in their
respective header files.
- Defined bli_mbool.c API to create and query "multi-bools", or
heterogeneous bool_t's (one for each floating-point datatype), in the
same spirit as blksz_t and func_t.
- Introduced two key parameters of the hardware: BLIS_SIMD_NUM_REGISTERS
and BLIS_SIMD_SIZE. These values are needed in order to compute a third
new parameter, which may be set indirectly via the aforementioned
macros or directly: BLIS_STACK_BUF_MAX_SIZE. This value is used to
statically allocate memory in macro-kernels and the induced methods'
virtual kernels to be used as temporary space to hold a single
micro-tile. These values are now output by the testsuite. The default
value of BLIS_STACK_BUF_MAX_SIZE is computed as
"2 * BLIS_SIMD_NUM_REGISTERS * BLIS_SIMD_SIZE".
- Cleaned up top-level 'kernels' directory (for example, renaming the
embarrassingly misleading "avx" and "avx2" directories to "sandybridge"
and "haswell," respectively, and gave more consistent and meaningful
names to many kernel files (as well as updating their interfaces to
conform to the new context-aware kernel APIs).
- Updated the testsuite to query blocksizes from a locally-initialized
context for test modules that need those values: axpyf, dotxf,
dotxaxpyf, gemm_ukr, gemmtrsm_ukr, and trsm_ukr.
- Reformatted many function signatures into a standard format that will
more easily facilitate future API-wide changes.
- Updated many "mxn" level-0 macros (ie: those used to inline double loops
for level-1m-like operations on small matrices) in frame/include/level0
to use more obscure local variable names in an effort to avoid variable
shaddowing. (Thanks to Devin Matthews for pointing these gcc warnings,
which are only output using -Wshadow.)
- Added a conj argument to setm, so that its interface now mirrors that
of scalm. The semantic meaning of the conj argument is to optionally
allow implicit conjugation of the scalar prior to being populated into
the object.
- Deprecated all type-aware mixed domain and mixed precision APIs. Note
that this does not preclude supporting mixed types via the object APIs,
where it produces absolutely zero API code bloat.
