Merge conflicts araised has been fixed while downstreaming BLIS code from master to milan-3.1 branch
Implemented an automatic reduction in the number of threads when the user requests parallelism via a single number (ie: the automatic way) and (a) that number of threads is prime, and (b) that number exceeds a minimum threshold defined by the macro BLIS_NT_MAX_PRIME, which defaults to 11. If prime numbers are really desired, this feature may be suppressed by defining the macro BLIS_ENABLE_AUTO_PRIME_NUM_THREADS in the appropriate configuration family's bli_family_*.h. (Jeff Diamond)
Changed default value of BLIS_THREAD_RATIO_M from 2 to 1, which leads to slightly different automatic thread factorizations.
Enable the 1m method only if the real domain microkernel is not a reference kernel. BLIS now forgoes use of 1m if both the real and complex domain kernels are reference implementations.
Relocated the general stride handling for gemmsup. This fixed an issue whereby gemm would fail to trigger to conventional code path for cases that use general stride even after gemmsup rejected the problem. (RuQing Xu)
Fixed an incorrect function signature (and prototype) of bli_?gemmt(). (RuQing Xu)
Redefined BLIS_NUM_ARCHS to be part of the arch_t enum, which means it will be updated automatically when defining future subconfigs.
Minor code consolidation in all level-3 _front() functions.
Reorganized Windows cpp branch of bli_pthreads.c.
Implemented bli_pthread_self() and _equals(), but left them commented out (via cpp guards) due to issues with getting the Windows versions working. Thankfully, these functions aren't yet needed by BLIS.
Allow disabling of trsm diagonal pre-inversion at compile time via --disable-trsm-preinversion.
Fixed obscure testsuite bug for the gemmt test module that relates to its dependency on gemv.
AMD-internal-[CPUPL-1523]
Change-Id: I0d1df018e2df96a23dc4383d01d98b324d5ac5cd
Details:
- Added a frequently asked question to docs/FAQ.md regarding the
difference between upstream (vanilla) BLIS and AMD BLIS.
- Updated the name of ICES in the README.md to reflect the Oden
rebranding.
Details:
- Changed all occurrances of
micro-kernel -> microkernel
macro-kernel -> macrokernel
micro-panel -> micropanel
in all markdown documents in 'docs' directory. This change is being
made since we've reached the point in adoption and acceptance of
BLIS's insights where words such as "microkernel" are no longer new,
and therefore now merit being unhyphenated.
- Updated "Implementation Notes" sections of KernelsHowTo.md, which
still contained references to nonexistent cpp macros such as
BLIS_DEFAULT_MR_? and BLIS_PACKDIM_MR_?.
- Added 'run-fast' and 'check-fast' targets to testsuite/Makefile.
- Minor updates to Testsuite.md, including suggesting use of
'make check' and 'make check-fast' when running from the local
testsuite directory.
- Added a comment to top-level Makefile explaining the purpose behind
the TESTSUITE_WRAPPER variable, which at first glance appears to serve
no purpose.
Details:
- Updated ReleaseNotes.md in preparation for next version.
- Updated docs/FAQ.md to reflect recent developments, and other edits.
- Minor updates to RELEASING.
Details:
- Within the documents in docs/*.md, reverted links to other local
documents to relative paths.
- Fixed some links/documents that did not yet have the '.md' suffix.
- Testing whether we can use relative links ('docs/BLISTypedAPI.md')
from within README.md.
Details:
- Updated most markdown links in the documents/wikis to use absolute
paths instead of the relative paths that were in use previously.
A few links were not updated, except for adding a ".md" to reflect
the documents' new names, in order to test whether relative
linking still works.
Details:
- Exported all github wikis to a new 'docs' directory.
- Renamed 'BLISAPIQuickReference' wiki to 'BLISTypedAPI' and removed
all cntx_t* arguments from the (now non-expert) APIs (with the
exception of the kernel APIs).
- Added section to BuildSystem documenting new ARG_MAX hack.
