[CPUPL-858] Packing kernels for dgemm 6x8 kernel are added explicitly
for zen2 configuration. Apart from generic packing kernels used by level-3
routines and for all combinations of the input parameters, introduced DGEMM
specific packing kernels for the case op(A) & op(B) is no transpose. This
helps us to vectorize these packing kernels and eliminate un-necessary branch
conditional checks. The packed kernels are also optimized at the boundary.
These boundary condition optimization help when the input matrix dimensions
"m" and "n" are not multiples of register block-sizes "MR & NR".
Typical DGEMM operation is C = beta*C + alpha *op(A) * op(B). Kindly note
the multiplication with alpha is handled inside kernel, hence in these dgemm
packing routines alpha is always consider 1.0. These routines are
"bli_dpackm_8xk_nn_zen" & "bli_dpackm_6xk_nn_zen". The generic packing
routines
are "bli_dpackm_6xk_gen_zen" & bli_dpackm_8xk_gen_zen". These routines are
enabled from "bli_cntx_init_zen2()" through bli_cntx_set_packm_kers(). In this
checkout wthe generic packing kernels are enabled by default". Later will
introduce run-time mechanism to change these packing kernels based on the
DGEMM input parameters.

Details:
- Renamed two bli_thread_*() APIs:
bli_thread_obarrier() -> bli_thread_barrier()
bli_thread_obroadcast() -> bli_thread_broadcast()
The 'o' was a leftover from when thrcomm_t objects tracked both
"inner" and "outer" communicators. They have long since been
simplified to only support the latter, and thus the 'o' is
superfluous.

AMD-Internal: [CPUPL-847]
Details:
- Added multithreading support to the sup framework (via either OpenMP
or pthreads). Both variants 1n and 2m now have the appropriate
threading infrastructure, including data partitioning logic, to
parallelize computation. This support handles all four combinations
of packing on matrices A and B (neither, A only, B only, or both).
This implementation tries to be a little smarter when automatic
threading is requested (e.g. via BLIS_NUM_THREADS) in that it will
recalculate the factorization in units of micropanels (rather than
using the raw dimensions) in bli_l3_sup_int.c, when the final
problem shape is known and after threads have already been spawned.
- Implemented bli_?packm_sup_var2(), which packs to conventional row-
or column-stored matrices. (This is used for the rrc and crc storage
cases.) Previously, copym was used, but that would no longer suffice
because it could not be parallelized.
- Minor reorganization of packing-related sup functions. Specifically,
bli_packm_sup_init_mem_[ab]() are called from within packm_sup_[ab]()
instead of from the variant functions. This has the effect of making
the variant functions more readable.
- Added additional bli_thrinfo_set_*() static functions to bli_thrinfo.h
and inserted usage of these functions within bli_thrinfo_init(), which
previously was accessing thrinfo_t fields via the -> operator.
- Renamed bli_partition_2x2() to bli_thread_partition_2x2().
- Added an auto_factor field to the rntm_t struct in order to track
whether automatic thread factorization was originally requested.
- Added new test drivers in test/supmt that perform multithreaded sup
tests, as well as appropriate octave/matlab scripts to plot the
resulting output files.
- Added additional language to docs/Multithreading.md to make it clear
that specifying any BLIS_*_NT variable, even if it is set to 1, will
be considered manual specification for the purposes of determining
whether to auto-factorize via BLIS_NUM_THREADS.
- Minor comment updates.

Details:
-This commit addresses the performance optimization(single-thread and
multi-thread) for DTRSM on zen2.
-This new optimization employs different MC, KC & NC values for TRSM than
what is being used in other Level-3 routines like DGEMM.
-Changed TRSM framework code to choose these blocksizes for TRSM
on zen family configurations.
-Added a new field called "trsm_blkszs" to cntx structure in order to
store TRSM specific block sizes.
-Implemented routines to initialize, set and query the TRSM-specific
block sizes.
-Defined a new macro "AOCL_BLIS_ZEN" in configure script.
This macro is automatically defined for zen family architectures.
It enables us to choose different cache block sizes for TRSM instead of common level-3 block sizes.

AMD-Internal: [CPUPL-656]
Details:
- Implemented optional packing for A or B (or both) within the sup
framework (which currently only supports gemm). The request for
packing either matrix A or matrix B can be made via setting
environment variables BLIS_PACK_A or BLIS_PACK_B (to any
non-zero value; if set, zero means "disable packing"). It can also
be made globally at runtime via bli_pack_set_pack_a() and
bli_pack_set_pack_b() or with individual rntm_t objects via
bli_rntm_set_pack_a() and bli_rntm_set_pack_b() if using the expert
interface of either the BLIS typed or object APIs. (If using the
BLAS API, environment variables are the only way to communicate the
packing request.)
- One caveat (for now) with the current implementation of selective
packing is that any blocksize extension registered in the _cntx_init
function (such as is currently used by haswell and zen subconfigs)
will be ignored if the affected matrix is packed. The reason is
simply that I didn't get around to implementing the necessary logic
to pack a larger edge-case micropanel, though this is entirely
possible and should be done in the future.
- Spun off the variant-choosing portion of bli_gemmsup_ref() into
bli_gemmsup_int(), in bli_l3_sup_int.c.
- Added new files, bli_l3_sup_packm_a.c, bli_l3_sup_packm_b.c, along
with corresponding headers, in which higher-level packm-related
functions are defined for use within the sup framework. The actual
packm variant code resides in bli_l3_sup_packm_var.c.
- Pass the following new parameters into var1n and var2m: packa, packb
bool_t's, pointer to a rntm_t, pointer to a cntl_t (which is for now
always NULL), and pointer to a thrinfo_t* (which for nowis the address
of the global single-threaded packm thread control node).
- Added panel strides ps_a and ps_b to the auxinfo_t structure so that
the millikernel can query the panel stride of the packed matrix and
step through it accordingly. If the matrix isn't packed, the panel
stride of interest for the given millikernel will be set to the
appropriate value so that the mkernel may step through the unpacked
matrix as it normally would.
- Modified the rv_6x8m and rv_6x8n millikernels to read the appropriate
panel strides (ps_a and ps_b, respectively) instead of computing them
on the fly.
- Spun off the environment variable getting and setting functions into
a new file, bli_env.c (with a corresponding prototype header). These
functions are now used by the threading infrastructure (e.g.
BLIS_NUM_THREADS, BLIS_JC_NT, etc.) as well as the selective packing
infrastructure (e.g. BLIS_PACK_A, BLIS_PACK_B).
- Added a static initializer for mem_t objects, BLIS_MEM_INITIALIZER.
- Added a static initializer for pblk_t objects, BLIS_PBLK_INITIALIZER,
for use within the definition of BLIS_MEM_INITIALIZER.
- Moved the global_rntm object to bli_rntm.c and extern it where needed.
This means that the function bli_thread_init_rntm() was renamed to
bli_rntm_init_from_global() and relocated accordingly.
- Added a new bli_pack.c function, which serves as the home for
functions that manage the pack_a and pack_b fields of the global
rntm_t, including from environment variables, just as we have
functions to manage the threading fields of the global rntm_t in
bli_thread.c.
- Reorganized naming for files in frame/thread, which mostly involved
spinning off the bli_l3_thread_decorator() functions into their own
files. This change makes more sense when considering the further
addition of bli_l3_sup_thread_decorator() functions (for now limited
only to the single-threaded form found in the _single.c file).
- Explicitly initialize the reference sup handlers in both
bli_cntx_init_haswell.c and bli_cntx_init_zen.c so that it's more
obvious how to customize to a different handler, if desired.
- Removed various snippets of disabled code.
- Various comment updates.
Details:
- Fixed a copy-paste bug in the new bli_spackm_6xk_bb4_ref() that
manifested as failures in single-precision real level-3 operations.
Also replaced the duplication factor constants with a const-qualifed
varialbe, dfac, so that this won't happen again.
- Changed NC for single-precision real from 4080 to 8160 so that the
packed matrix B will have the same byte footprint in both single
and double real.
Details:
- Added cpp macros to trmm and trmm3 front-ends to optionally force
those operations to be cast so the structured matrix is on the left.
symm and hemm already had such macros, but these too were renamed so
that the macros were individual to the operation. We now have four
such macros:
#define BLIS_DISABLE_HEMM_RIGHT
#define BLIS_DISABLE_SYMM_RIGHT
#define BLIS_DISABLE_TRMM_RIGHT
#define BLIS_DISABLE_TRMM3_RIGHT
Also, updated the comments in the symm and hemm front-ends related to
the first two macro guards, and added corresponding comments to the
trmm and trmm3 front-ends for the latter two guards. (They all
functionally do the same thing, just for their specific operations.)
Thanks to Jeff Hammond for reporting the bugs that led me to this
change (via #359).
- Updated config/old/haswellbb subconfiguration (used to debug issues
related to duplicating B during packing) to register: a packing
kernel for single-precision real; gemmbb ukernels for s, c, and z;
trsmbb ukernels for s, c, and z; gemmtrsmbb virtual ukrnels for s, c
and z; and to use non-default cache and register blocksizes for s, c,
and z datatypes. Also declared prototypes for all of the gemmbb,
trsmbb, and gemmtrsmbb ukernel functions within the
bli_cntx_init_haswellbb() function. This should, once applied to the
power9 configuration, fix the remaining issues in #359.
- Defined bli_spackm_6xk_bb4_ref(), which packs single reals with a
duplication factor of 4. This function is defined in the same file as
bli_dpackm_6xk_bb2_ref() (bli_packm_cxk_bb_ref.c).
Details:
- Added missing license header to bli_pwr9_asm_macros_12x6.h.
- Reverted temporary changes to various files in 'test' and 'testsuite'
directories.
- Moved testsuite/jobscripts into testsuite/old.
- Minor whitespace/comment changes across various files.
Implemented and registered power9 dgemm ukernel.
Details:
- Implemented 12x6 dgemm microkernel for power9. This microkernel
assumes that elements of B have been duplicated/broadcast during the
packing step. The microkernel uses a column orientation for its
microtile vector registers and thus implements column storage and
general stride IO cases. (A row storage IO case via in-register
transposition may be added at a future date.) It should be noted that
we recommend using this microkernel with gcc and *not* xlc, as issues
with the latter cropped up during development, including but not
limited to slightly incompatible vector register mnemonics in the GNU
extended inline assembly clobber list.
Details:
- In config/zen2/make_defs.mk, changed the -march= flag so that
-march=znver1 is used instead of -march=znver2 when CC_VENDOR is
clang. (The gcc branch attempts to differentiate between various
versions, but the equivalent version cutoffs for clang are not
yet known by us, so we have to use a single flag for all versions
of clang. Hopefully -march=znver1 is new enough. If not, we'll
fall back to -march=bdver4 -mno-fma4 -mno-tbm -mno-xop -mno-lwp.)
This issue was discovered thanks to AppVeyor.
Details:
- Updated an incorrectly set cache blocksize NC for single real within
config/zen/bli_cntx_init_zen.c that was non a multiple of the
corresponding value of NR. This issue, which was caught by Travis CI,
was introduced in 29b0e1e.
Details:
- NOTE: This is a merge commit of 'master' of git://github.com/amd/blis
into 'amd-master' of flame/blis.
- Fixed a bug in the downstream value of BLIS_NUM_ARCHS, which was
inadvertantly not incremented when the Zen2 subconfiguration was
added.
- In bli_gemm_front(), added a missing conditional constraint around the
call to bli_gemm_small() that ensures that the computation precision
of C matches the storage precision of C.
- In bli_syrk_front(), reorganized and relocated the notrans/trans logic
that existed around the call to bli_syrk_small() into bli_syrk_small()
to minimize the calling code footprint and also to bring that code
into stylistic harmony with similar code in bli_gemm_front() and
bli_trsm_front(). Also, replaced direct accessing of obj_t fields with
proper accessor static functions (e.g. 'a->dim[0]' becomes
'bli_obj_length( a )').
- Added #ifdef BLIS_ENABLE_SMALL_MATRIX guard around prototypes for
bli_gemm_small(), bli_syrk_small(), and bli_trsm_small(). This is
strictly speaking unnecessary, but it serves as a useful visual cue to
those who may be reading the files.
- Removed cpp macro-protected small matrix debugging code from
bli_trsm_front.c.
- Added a GCC_OT_9_1_0 variable to build/config.mk.in to facilitate gcc
version check for availability of -march=znver2, and added appropriate
support to configure script.
- Cleanups to compiler flags common to recent AMD microarchitectures in
config/zen/amd_config.mk, including: removal of -march=znver1 et al.
from CKVECFLAGS (since the -march flag is added within make_defs.mk);
setting CRVECFLAGS similarly to CKVECFLAGS.
- Cleanups to config/zen/bli_cntx_init_zen.c.
- Cleanups, added comments to config/zen/make_defs.mk.
- Cleanups to config/zen2/make_defs.mk, including making use of newly-
added GCC_OT_9_1_0 and existing GCC_OT_6_1_0 to choose the correct
set of compiler flags based on the version of gcc being used.
- Reverted downstream changes to test/test_gemm.c.
- Various whitespace/comment changes.
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.
