Field G. Van Zee	31c8657f1d	Added support for pre-broadcast when packing B. ... Details: - Added support for being able to duplicate (broadcast) elements in memory when packing matrix B (ie: the left-hand operand) in level-3 operations. This turns out advantageous for some architectures that can afford the cost of the extra bandwidth and somehow benefit from the pre-broadcast elements (and thus being able to avoid using broadcast-style load instructions on micro-rows of B in the gemm microkernel). - Support optionally disabling right-side hemm and symm. If this occurs, hemm_r is implemented in terms of hemm_l (and symm_r in terms of symm_l). This is needed when broadcasting during packing because the alternative--supporting the broadcast of B while also allowing matrix B to be Hermitian/symmetric--would be an absolute mess. - Support alignment factors for packed blocks of A, B, and C separately (as well as for general-purpose buffers). In addition, we support byte offsets from those alignment values (which is different from aligning by align+offset bytes to begin with). The default alignment values are BLIS_PAGE_SIZE in all four cases, with the offset values defaulting to zero. - Pass pack_t schema into bli_?packm_cxk() so that it can be then passed into the packm kernel, where it will be needed by packm kernels that perform broadcasts of B, since the idea is that we *only* want to broadcast when packing micropanels of B and not A. - Added definition for variadic bli_cntx_set_l3_vir_ukrs(), which can be used to set custom virtual level-3 microkernels in the cntx_t, which would typically be done in the bli_cntx_init_*() function defined in the subconfiguration of interest. - Added a "broadcast B" kernel function for use with NP/NR = 12/6, defined in in ref_kernels/1m/bli_packm_cxk_bb_ref.c. - Added a gemm, gemmtrsm, and trsm "broadcast B" reference kernels defined in ref_kernels/3/bb. (These kernels have been tested with double real with NP/NR = 12/6.) - Added #ifndef ... #endif guards around several macro constants defined in frame/include/bli_kernel_macro_defs.h. - Defined a few "broadcast B" static functions in frame/include/level0/bb for use by "broadcast B"-style packm reference kernels. For now, only the real domain kernels are tested and fully defined. - Output the alignment and offset values for packed blocks of A and B in the testsuite's "BLIS configuration info" section. - Comment updates to various files. - Bumped so_version to 3.0.0.	2019-09-17 17:42:10 -05:00
Field G. Van Zee	f808d829c5	Handle edge cases, zero-filling in packm kernels. ... Details: - Updated the API and semantics of packm kernels such that they must now handle edge cases, meaning that a c-by-k packm kernel must be able to pack edge cases that are fewer than c rows/columns and be able to zero-fill the remaining elements. They must also be able to zero-fill the equivalent region when copying fewer than k columns/rows (which is needed by trsm). The new packm kernel API is generally: void packm_kernel ( conj_t conja, dim_t cdim, dim_t n, dim_t n_max, ctype* restrict kappa, ctype* restrict a, inc_t inca, inc_t lda, ctype* restrict p, inc_t ldp, cntx_t* restrict cntx ); where cdim and n are the dimensions (short and long, respectively) of the submatrix being copied from the source matrix A, and n_max is the "full" long dimension (corresponding to the k dimension in gemm) of the micropanel. The "full" short dimension (corresponding to the register blocksize MR or NR) is not part of the API because it is known intrinsically by the packm kernel implementation. Thanks to Devin Matthews for prompting us to make this change (#282). - Updated all reference packm kernels in ref_kernels/1m according to above changes, as well as all optimized packm kernels (which only consisted of those for knl). - Bumped the major soname version number in 'so_version' to 2. At first I was considering leaving it unchanged, but I couldn't escape the reality that the packm kernel API is much closer to an expert API than it is some obscure helper function interface within the framework that nobody would ever notice. - Removed reference packm kernels for mr/nr = 30. The only sub-config that would have been using those kernels is knc, which is likely no longer being used by very many people (if any). (This also mostly offset the larger object code footprint incurred by moving the edge- case handling into the individual packm kernels.) - Fixed an obscure race condition for 3mh and 4mh induced methods in which those implementations were modifying the contexts stored in the gks rather than a local copy. - Fixed a minor bug in the testsuite that prevented non-1m-based induced method implementations of trsm from executing.	2018-12-12 15:22:59 -06:00
Field G. Van Zee	0645f239fb	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.	2018-12-04 14:31:06 -06:00
Field G. Van Zee	4fa4cb0734	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.	2018-08-29 18:06:41 -05:00
Field G. Van Zee	453deb2906	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.	2017-10-18 13:29:32 -05:00
