Details:
- Added new memory alignment constants:
BLIS_HEAP_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE (previously assumed to be same as SYSTEM_MEM)
BLIS_CONTIG_ADDR_ALIGN_SIZE (previously assumed to be same as PAGE_SIZE)
BLIS_STACK_BUF_ALIGN_SIZE (previously not enforced)
and renamed existing ones
BLIS_SYSTEM_MEM_ALIGN_SIZE -> BLIS_HEAP_ADDR_ALIGN_SIZE
BLIS_CONTIG_MEM_ALIGN_SIZE -> BLIS_CONTIG_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE
to better convey what the alignment factor is used for (and what it is
not used for).
- Removed BLIS_ENABLE_SYSTEM_MEM_ALIGN. Dynamic memory alignment is now
disabled by setting BLIS_HEAP_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE to 1.
- Inserted instances of __attribute__((aligned(BLIS_STACK_BUF_ALIGN_SIZE)))
into macro-kernels to specify stack alignment of temporary buffers.
- Modified test suite driver to output new constants.
- Removed bli_align_dim_to_sys() and bli_align_dim_to_cmem(). Instead, we now
use bli_align_dim_to_size(), which takes a third argument (the desired
alignment).
Details:
- Removed the #define of _POSIX_C_SOURCE in bli_config.h (for both reference
and clarksville configurations) and added "-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L" to
the compiler command line arguments in make_defs.mk (for both configs).
Thanks to Devin Matthews for suggesting this change.
Details:
- Implemented amax operation in BLIS.
- Activated BLAS2BLIS routine mapping for new amax BLIS implementation.
- Added integer support to [f]printv, [f]printm.
- Added integer support to level-0 copys macros.
- Updated printing of configuration information in test suite driver.
- Comment changes to _config.h files.
- Added comments to bla_dot.c to reminder reader what sdsdot()/dsdot() are
used for.
Details:
- Renamed BLIS_MEMORY_ALIGNMENT_SIZE to BLIS_CONTIG_MEM_ALIGN_SIZE.
- Renamed BLIS_ENABLE_MEMORY_ALIGNMENT to BLIS_ENABLE_SYSTEM_MEM_ALIGN.
- Added BLIS_SYSTEM_MEM_ALIGN_SIZE, which controls only the alignment
passed into posix_memalign() or equivalent.
- Defined new function, bli_align_dim_to_cmem(), which applies the
contiguous memory alignment (rather than the system/malloc alignment).
Details:
- Removed guard around #define for memory alignment size constant.
Memory alignment should always be enabled, and so this value should
always be defined.
Details:
- Changed all filename and function prefixes from 'bl2' to 'bli'.
- Changed the "blis2.h" header filename to "blis.h" and changed all
corresponding #include statements accordingly.
- Fixed incorrect association for Fran in CREDITS file.
