Details: - Added API-level initialization state to _const, _error, _mem, _thread, _ind, and _cntl APIs. While this functionality will mostly go unused, adding miniscule overhead at init-time, there will be at least once instance in the near future where, in order to avoid an infinite loop, a certain portion of the initialization will call a query function that itself attempts to call bli_init(). API-level initialization will allow this later stage to verify that an earlier stage of initialization has completed, even if the overall call to bli_init() has not yet returned. - Added _is_initialized() functions for each API, setting the underlying bool_t during _init() and unsetting it during _finalize(). - Comment, whitespace changes.
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!
