Details:
- Added the blas2blis compatibility layer, located in frame/compat. This
includes virtually all of the BLAS, including banded and packed level-2
operations.
- Defined bl2_init_safe(), bl2_finalize_safe(). The former allows a conditional
initialization, which stores the "exit status" in an err_t, which is then
read by the latter function to determine whether finalization should actually
take place.
- Added calls to bl2_init_safe(), bl2_finalize_safe() to all level-2 and
level-3 BLAS-like wrappers.
- Added configuration option to instruct BLIS to remain initialized whenever
it automatically initializes itself (via bl2_init_safe()), until/unless the
application code explicitly calls bl2_finalize().
- Added INSERT_GENTFUNC* and INSERT_GENTPROT* macros to facilitate type
templatization of blas2blis wrappers.
- Defined level-0 scalar macro bl2_??swaps().
- Defined level-1v operation bl2_swapv().
- Defined some "Fortran" types to bl2_type_defs.h for use with BLAS
wrappers.
Details:
- Some of the scalars of Hermitian operations, such as alpha in her,
alpha and beta in herk, and beta in her2k, need to be real. These
arguments were typed incorrectly as the complex types. This has been
fixed. Note the issue was only present in the BLAS-like APIs for
these operations (not the native object-based interfaces).
Details:
- Changed the interface of packm_init_pack() so that mult_m and mult_n
are passed in as type blksz_t* instead of dim_t.
- Make similar change for packv_init_pack().
Details:
- Removed diagx parameter from lower-level interfaces of scalm.
- Modified scalm_basic_check() to expect an object with a nonunit diagonal.
- Changed setm_unb_var1() so that having an implicit unit diagonal results
in only the strictly lower or upper triangle of the matrix being modified.
Details:
- Removed calls to setv() in test modules whose sole purpose was to
initialize vectors to zero to ensure that nan's and inf's would not
taint the computation. Now that beta == zero semantics have been
updated to clear the output operand (when beta is zero), rather than
multiply against it, these setv() calls are no longer needed.
Details:
- Changed name of set0 and set0_mxn macros to set0s and set0s_mxn,
respectively.
- Added code to the following operations that sets the output operand to
zero if the corresponding scalar is zero (rather than performing the
floating-point multiply, or in the case of setv, copying the value).
This will prevent nan's and inf's from creeping into results from
uninitialized memory.

Details:
- Added bl2_packm_unb_var1() back into the mix once I realized that level-2
operations still need this routine for packing matrices. Now, whether
level-2 operations should be packing matrices to begin with is another
matter. But this fixes the segmentation fault one would have gotten when
running bl2_gemv() on a general stride matrix.
Details:
- Added new fields to obj_t info field:
- invert_diag
- pack_order_if_upper
- pack_order_if_lower
These fields allow packm_init() to embed information that begins
in the control tree into the object so that the packm implementation
does not need to use control trees at all. This is being done to aid
Bryan's DxT code generation.
- Added macros that operate on above fields.
- Changed packm_init(), packm_blk_var2(), and packm_blk_var3() according
to above changes.
- Made similar (but much simpler) changes to packv.
- Deprecated packm_blk_var1(), packm_unb_var1(), and packm_densify().
These were part of prototype implementations and are no longer needed.
Details:
- Restored executable (0755) permissions to scripts that were touched by
the recursive sed script that updated the copyright headers in the
previous commit.
Details:
- Added a highly configurable, unified test suite.
- Removed DUPB configuration constant from bl2_kernel.h and macro-kernel
header files. Now, instead, DUPB is computed as (NDUP != 1) within each
macro-kernel. This fixes a bug in trmm/trsm whereby bp was indexed into
incorrectly when DUPB was set to FALSE but the NDUP was still non-unit.
By encoding both pieces of information into one constant in _kernel.h,
it seems somewhat less likely others will encounter this bug in the
future.
- Added level-2 cache blocksizes to _kernel.h for reference configuration,
and defined blocksizes in _cntl.c files to these default values.
- Changed semantics of her2k and syr2k such that these operations no longer
expect the B matrix to already be conjugate-transposed (or just transposed
for syr2k). However, these semantics are preserved for the internal
mechanics of the implementations, including the internal back-end and all
blocked variants.
- Inserted checks for real-valued alpha and beta for herk/her2k and herk,
respectively.
- Relaxed general object structure constraints in _basic_check() for gemv, ger.
- Changed her front-end to NOT copy-cast to real projection; instead, this is
replaced by selecting either the real part or both parts within the unblocked
algorithm implementation, depending on the value of conjh.
- Added conjh to all _check routines for her so that the code knows when to
verify that alpha has an imaginary component equal to zero (for her, but
not syr).
- Changed control tree for her to forgo packing.
- Added unit diagonal support to fnormm.
- Redefined real versions of abval2s macros in terms of fabs(), fabsf().
- Redefined complex versions of sqrt2s macros using the actual "complex square
root" formula.
- Created new level-0 object-based routines, suffixed with "sc" (for "scalar").
- Defined new level-1v, -1d, and -1m versions of add and sub operations
(two-operand add and subtract).
- Added new scalar macros:
- getris: acquire real and imaginary components.
- setris: set real and imaginary components.
- addjs: addition with conjugated x.
- subjs: subtraction with conjugated x.
- Defined new utility operations:
- absumv: element-wise sum of absolute values for vector elements.
- absumm: element-wise sum of absolute values for matrix elements.
- mkherm: convert existing matrix to Hermitian.
- mksymm: convert existing matrix to symmetric.
- mktrim: convert existing matrix to triangular.
- Added various error checking routines.
- Added bl2_clock_min_diff(), which is used to more cleanly measure the
wall clock time of a code block.
- Added general stride support to bl2_obj_alloc_buffer().
- Added bl2_obj_init_scalar().
- Updated parameter mapping in bl2_param_map.c.
- Added support for queriable version string.
- Fixed a bug in the her2k macro-kernels (which currently are simply
implemented in terms of two invocations of herk) whereby beta was being
applied to both the first and second rank-k updates, rather than only
the first.
- Fixed a bug in trmm/trsm whereby transpose and right side cases were not
properly implemented due to erroneous assumptions regarding aliasing and
root objects.
- Fixed a bug in the upper triangular trsm macro-kernel in which the wrong
MR x NR block of B was being updated.
- Fixed a bug in the inverts macro in the double real case whereby the
value was typecast to float before inversion. This affected non-unit cases
of dtrsm.
- Fixed a bug in the reference kernels for gemmtrsm whereby the minus one
constant was being applied incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug in the overall treatment of non-unit alpha for trsm. The code
now mimics the rank-k strategy of gemm, whereby alpah is applied during
the first iteration of variant 3, with BLIS_ONE passed in instead for
subsequent iterations. This also required passing alpha into the macro-
kernels as well as the fused gemmtrsm micro-kernels.
- Fixed a bug in trsm_u_blk_var1 whereby the gemm macro-kernel was being
called for blocks strictly above the diagonal. While this sounds good in
theory, this cannot be done because gemm_ker_var2 expects row panels of
A to be packed from top to bottom, while for trsm_u, A is actually packed
from bottom to top due to the reverse (BR->TL) nature of the algorithm.
- Fixed a bug in packm_cxk() whereby panel packings with unit panel
dimensions were mishandled due to incorrect arguments to the copyv kernel.
Also changed the copyv kernel invocation to scal2v so that these edge
cases are properly handled when scaling is requested.
- Fixed a bug in packv_int() whereby an uninitialized object is passed in
instead of the source object.
- Fixed a bug whereby level-2 code could allocate memory dynamically via
bl2_malloc() and then attempt to free it via bl2_mm_release(). Also fixed
a potential future bug whereby a mem_t object that is actually no longer
"allocated" from the static pool is mistaken for being allocated due to
failure to NULLify the buffer when the block was most recently released.
- Fixed a bug in bl2_acquire_mpart_*() whreby the uplo field was mistakenly
toggled when the requested subpartition needed to be "reflected" due to it
residing in an unstored region.
Details:
- Added printf() statements to bl2_mm_acquire_m() to help debug issues
with prematurely exhausted memory pool.
- Removed 'd' from kernel names of reference kernels in clarksville
configuration's bl2_kernel.h
Details:
- Added level-0 grabis macro operation to grab imaginary component of one
variable and copy it to the real component of another variable.
- Defined sumsqv operation, which computes the sum of the absolute squares
of the elements of a vector. This implementation is modeled after ?lassq
in netlib LAPACK.
- Defined fnormv and fnormm operations, which compute the Frobenius norm on
vectors and matrices, respectively. These operations are treated as one-
operand operations where the output norm value is the real projection of
the datatype of the input operand. Both operations are implemented in terms
of sumsqv.
Details:
- Added function and prototype macro-generating macros for GENTFUNCR and
GENTPROTR, which are one-operand macros with auxiliary real projection
types.
- Tweaked bl2_machval files to use new macros.
Details:
- Fixed some inconsistent usage of n_iter_max and n_iter in the two
bl2_set_dims_incs_uplo_[12]m macros. The right thing ended up happening
despite the bug, which is why I had not discovered it until now.
Details:
- Renamed x86 and x86_64 kernels to contain a 'd' before the fusing shape
to emphasize that the fusing shape is not for all datatype instances, but
rather just for one (that of double-precision real). Other fusing shapes
would be proportional to their precision and domain "byte footprints".
- Corresponding changes to config/clarksville/bl2_kernel.h.
Details:
- Moved kernel-related definitions form bl2_config.h to bl2_kernel.h.
- Replaced #define of _GNU_SOURCE with #define of _POSIX_C_SOURCE. This
accomplishes the same thing (enabling posix_memalign()) without enabling
all of the GNU extensions we don't need.
- Defined the size of the static memory pool in terms of MC, KC, and NC,
as well as two new constants that determine how many MCxKC blocks and
how many KCxNC blocks should be allocated (defined in bl2_config.h).
- In the case of static memory pool exhaustion, replaced the generic
bl2_abort() with a specific error code call.
Details:
- Merged contents of bl2_arch.h into bl2_config.h for reference and
clarksville configurations.
- Updated CREDITS, INSTALL, LICENSE, README files.
Details:
- Fixed a bug whereby, for the reference gemm ukernels, the matrix product
was not correctly accumulated and scaled (by alpha) into the output matrix
C. (Thanks to Fran for finding this bug.)
- Whitespace changes to reference trsm kernels.
Details:
- Added 10xk, 12xk, 14xk, and 16xk reference kernels for packm and
unpackm.
- Updated bl2_[un]packm_cxk() to silently use scal2m if "out of range"
kernel size is requested. (Thanks to Tyler for finding this bug.)
- Updated bl2_kernel.h to contain new _KERNEL definitions, according
to above changes, for 'reference' and 'clarksville' configurations.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
- Removed "output*.m" from .gitignore.
Details:
- Updated header files and make_defs.mk in config/clarksville.
- Fixes to bl2_mem.c (now that SMEM_M, SMEM_N are gone).
- Moved definition of blksz_t from bl2_cntl.h to bl2_type_defs.h.
- Shuffled include statements in blis2.h.
Details:
- Updated CHANGELOG.
- Added 'changelog' target to Makefile that runs 'git log --decorate' and
overwrites CHANGELOG with the output.
- Other trivial changes.
Details:
- Added 'showconfig' target to Makefile.
- Added header files and ./config/<configname>/make_defs.mk as prerequisites
to object file rules.
- Added config.mk as prerequisite to library install rules.
- Edited and added to INSTALL file.
Details:
- Added build/update-version-file.sh script for auto-detecting "version"
string and updating 'version' file accordingly. (If .git directory is
not present, then it is assumed this copy of BLIS is a downloaded
release, in which case 'version' file is left unchanged.)
- Added invocation of update-version-file.sh to configure script.
Details:
- Major edits to test/Makefile to bring up-to-date wrt new build system;
should no longer be broken.
- Minor edits to top-level Makefile.
- Fixed copy-and-paste bugs in
- frame/1m/packm/ukernels/bl2_packm_ref_?xk.c
- frame/1m/unpackm/ukernels/bl2_unpackm_ref_?xk.c
Details:
- Added/renamed packm, unpackm kernels.
- Added machine value routines.
- Added param_map facility.
- Renamed AUTHORS to CREDITS.
- Added Makefile; continued to expand upon existing configure script.
- #define fuse_fac macros in operation headers if not defined already
(by the user in bl2_kernels.h).
