Details:
- Added section titled "Reproduction" to both Performance.md and
PerformanceSmall.md that briefly nudges the motivated reader in the
right direction if he/she wishes to run the same performance
benchmarks used to produce the graphs shown in those documents.
Thanks to Dave Love for making this suggestion.
Details:
- Updated the level-3 performance graphs in docs/graphs with new Eigen
results, this time using a development version cloned from their git
mirror on March 27, 2019 (version 3.3.90). Performance is improved
over 3.3.7, though still noticeably short of BLIS/MKL in most cases.
- Very minor updates to docs/Performance.md and matlab scripts in
test/3/matlab.
Details:
- Updated matlab scripts in test/3/matlab to optionally plot/display
Eigen performance curves. Whether Eigen is plotted is determined by
a new boolean function parameter, with_eigen.
- Updated runme.m scratchpad to reflect the latest invocations of the
plot_panel_4x5() function (with Eigen plotting enabled).
Details:
- Added a new markdown document, docs/Performance.md, which reports
performance of a representative set of level-3 operations across a
variety of hardware architectures, comparing BLIS to OpenBLAS and a
vendor library (MKL on Intel/AMD, ARMPL on ARM). Performance graphs,
in pdf and png formats, reside in docs/graphs.
- Updated README.md to link to new Performance.md document.
- Minor updates to CREDITS, docs/Multithreading.md.
- Minor updates to matlab scripts in test/3/matlab.
Details:
- Renamed '3m4m' directory to '3', which captures the directory nicely
since it builds test drivers to test level-3 operations.
- These test drivers ceased to be used to test the 3m and 4m (or even
1m) induced methods long ago, hence the name change.
