Details:
- During runtime, Application can set the desired number of threads using
standard OpenMP API omp_set_num_threads(nt).
- BLIS Library uses standard OpenMP API omp_get_max_threads() internally,
to fetch the latest value set by the application.
- This value will be used to decide the number of threads in the subsequent
BLAS calls.
- At the time of BLIS Initialization, BLIS_NUM_THREADS environment variable
will be given precedence, over the OpenMP standard API omp_set_num_threads(nt)
and OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable.
- Order of precedence followed during BLIS Initialization is as follows
1. Valid value of BLIS_NUM_THREADS
2. omp_set_num_threads(nt)
3. valid value of OMP_NUM_THREADS
4. Number of cores
- After BLIS initialization, if the Application issues omp_set_num_threads(nt)
during runtime, number of threads set during BLIS Initialization,
is overridden by the latest value set by the Application.
- Existing precedence of BLIS_*_NT environment variables and the decision of
optimal number of threads over the number of threads derived from the
above process remains as it is.
