Details: - Added a new section in bli_config.h files of all configurations for enabling CBLAS support. (Currently, the default is for the CBLAS layer to be disabled.) - Added a directory, frame/compat/cblas, to house CBLAS source code. A subdirectory 'f77_sub' holds subroutine wrappers corresponding to subroutines found in CBLAS that allow calling some BLAS routines with the return value passed as the last argument rather than as an actual (function) return value. This was probably intended to allow CBLAS to avoid the whole f2c debacle altogether. However, since BLIS does not assume the presence of a Fortran compiler, we had to provide similar routines in C. - A script, integrate-cblas-tarball.sh, is included to streamline the integration of future revisions of the CBLAS source code. - The current tarball, cblas.tgz, that was used with the above script to generate the present set of CBLAS source code is also included. - Updated blis.h to include necessary CBLAS-related headers.
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!
