Details: - Fixed a bug that caused a memory leak in the contiguous memory allocator. Because packm_init() was using simple aliasing when a subpartition object was marked as zeros by bli_acquire_mpart_*(), the "destination" pack object's mem_t entry was being overwritten by the corresponding field of the "source" object (which was likely NULL). This prevented the block from being released back to the memory allocator. But this bug only manifested when changing the location of packing B from outside the var1 loop to inside the var3 loop, and only for trsm with triangular B (side = right). The bug was fixed by changing the type of alias used in packm_init() when handling zero partition cases. Specifically, we now use bli_obj_alias_for_packing(), which does not clobber the destination (pack) object's mem_t field. Thanks to Devangi Parikh for this bug report.
BLIS framework
README
---
Thank you for deciding to try out the BLIS framework!
BLIS is a portable framework for instantiating BLAS-like libraries. The
framework was designed to isolate essential kernels of computation that,
when optimized, immediately enable optimized implementations of most of
its commonly used and computationally intensive operations.
BLIS has many features. For more detailed information about the project,
please check the BLIS homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/blis/
You can keep in touch with developers and other users of the project by
joining one or more of the following mailing lists:
o blis-announce - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-announce
Used only for announcements and other important messages regarding
BLIS.
o blis-discuss - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-discuss
Please join and post to this mailing list if you have general questions
or feedback regarding BLIS. Application developers (end users) should
probably post here.
o blis-devel - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-devel
Please join and post to this mailing list if you are a BLIS developer
(i.e., you are trying to use BLIS to create libraries, you want to
write kernels for the framework, or you are trying to modify or extend
the framework itself).
Also, please read the LICENSE file for information on copying and
distributing this software.
For a step-by-step guide on configuring, compiling, and installing BLIS,
please read the INSTALL file. Also, please check the BLIS website's wiki
page for other useful how-to guides.
Thanks again for your interest in BLIS!
