Details: - Added wrappers for micro-kernels so that users may invoke the micro-kernels without knowing what the function names actually are. This is useful when an application wishes to call the micro-kernel from a shared library instance of BLIS, where the application may not necessarily have the luxury of grabbing the micro-kernel name(s) from C preprocessor macros at compile-time. Also, since the wrappers use void* pointers, one's environment does not need to be aware of some BLIS types such as scomplex and dcomplex. These wrappers now join the level-1 and level-1f kernel wrappers, which pre-dated this commit. - Removed the wrapper definitions and prototypes from the micro-kernel test suite modules, and replaced calls to them with calls to the new wrappers mentioned above.
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!
