Details:
- Added four new fields to obj_t: .pack_fn, .pack_params, .ker_fn, and
.ker_params. These fields store pointers to functions and data that
will allow the user to more flexibly create custom operations while
recycling BLIS's existing partitioning infrastructure.
- Updated typed API to packm variant and structure-aware kernels to
replace the diagonal offset with panel offsets, and changed strides
of both C and P to inc/ldim semantics. Updated object API to the packm
variant to include rntm_t*.
- Removed the packm variant function pointer from the packm cntl_t node
definition since it has been replaced by the .pack_fn pointer in the
obj_t.
- Updated bli_packm_int() to read the new packm variant function pointer
from the obj_t and call it instead of from the cntl_t node.
- Moved some of the logic of bli_l3_packm.c to a new file,
bli_packm_alloc.c.
- Rewrote bli_packm_blk_var1.c so that it uses byte (char*) pointers
instead of typed pointers, allowing a single function to be used
regardless of datatype. This obviated having a separate implementation
in bli_packm_blk_var1_md.c. Also relegated handling of scalars to a
new function, bli_packm_scalar().
- Employed a new standard whereby right-hand matrix operands ("B") are
always packed as column-stored row panels -- that is, identically to
that of left-hand matrix operands ("A"). This means that while we pack
matrix A normally, we actually pack B in a transposed state. This
allowed us to simplify a lot of code throughout the framework, and
also affected some of the logic in bli_l3_packa() and _packb().
- Simplified bli_packm_init.c in light of the new B^T convention
described above. bli_packm_init()--which is now called from within
bli_packm_blk_var1()--also now calls bli_packm_alloc() and returns
a bool that indicates whether packing should be performed (or
skipped).
- Consolidated bli_gemm_int() and bli_trsm_int() into a bli_l3_int(),
which, among other things, defaults the new .pack_fn field of the
obj_t to bli_packm_blk_var1() if the field is NULL.
- Defined a new function, bli_obj_reset_origin(), which permanently
refocuses the view of an object so that it "forgets" any offsets from
its original pointer. This function also sets the object's root field
to itself. Calls to bli_obj_reset_origin() for each matrix operand
appear in the _front() functions, after the obj_t's are aliased. This
resetting of the underlying matrices' origins is needed in preparation
for more advanced features from within custom packm kernels.
- Redefined bli_pba_rntm_set_pba() from a regular function to a static
inline function.
- Updated gemm_ukr, gemmtrsm_ukr, and trsm_ukr testsuite modules to use
libblis_test_pobj_create() to create local packed objects. Previously,
these packed objects were created by calling lower-level functions.
