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.
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:
- 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:
- Expanded/updated interface for bli_get_range_weighted() and
bli_get_range() so that the direction of movement is specified in the
function name (e.g. bli_get_range_l2r(), bli_get_range_weighted_t2b())
and also so that the object being partitioned is passed instead of an
uplo parameter. Updated invocations in level-3 blocked variants, as
appropriate.
- (Re)implemented bli_get_range_*() and bli_get_range_weighted_*() to
carefully take into account the location of the diagonal when computing
ranges so that the area of each subpartition (which, in all present
level-3 operations, is proportional to the amount of computation
engendered) is as equal as possible.
- Added calls to a new class of routines to all non-gemm level-3 blocked
variants:
bli_<oper>_prune_unref_mparts_[mnk]()
where <oper> is herk, trmm, or trsm and [mnk] is chosen based on which
dimension is being partitioned. These routines call a more basic
routine, bli_prune_unref_mparts(), to prune unreferenced/unstored
regions from matrices and simultaneously adjust other matrices which
share the same dimension accordingly.
- Simplified herk_blk_var2f, trmm_blk_var1f/b as a result of more the
new pruning routines.
- Fixed incorrect blocking factors passed into bli_get_range_*() in
bli_trsm_blk_var[12][fb].c
- Added a new test driver in test/thread_ranges that can exercise the new
bli_get_range_*() and bli_get_range_weighted_*() under a range of
conditions.
- Reimplemented m and n fields of obj_t as elements in a "dim"
array field so that dimensions could be queried via index constant
(e.g. BLIS_M, BLIS_N). Adjusted/added query and modification
macros accordingly.
- Defined mdim_t type to enumerate BLIS_M and BLIS_N indexing values.
- Added bli_round() macro, which calls C math library function round(),
and bli_round_to_mult(), which rounds a value to the nearest multiple
of some other value.
- Added miscellaneous pruning- and mdim_t-related macros.
- Renamed bli_obj_row_offset(), bli_obj_col_offset() macros to
bli_obj_row_off(), bli_obj_col_off().
