Details: - Replaced all trmm_t control tree instances and usage with that of gemm_t. This change is similar to the recent retirement of the herk_t control tree. - Tweaked packm blocked variants so that the triangular code does NOT assume that k is a multiple of MR (when A is triangular) or NR (when B is triangular). This means that bottom-right micro-panels packed for trmm will have different zero-padding when k is not already a multiple of the relevant register blocksize. While this creates a seemingly arbitrary and unnecessary distinction between trmm and trsm packing, it actually allows trmm to be handled with one control tree, instead of one for left and one for right side cases. Furthermore, since only one tree is required, it can now be handled by the gemm tree, and thus the trmm control tree definitions can be disposed of entirely. - Tweaked trmm macro-kernels so that they do NOT inflate k up to a multiple of MR (when A is triangular) or NR (when B is triangular). - Misc. tweaks and cleanups to bli_packm_struc_cxk_4m.c and _3m.c, some of which are to facilitate above-mentioned changes whereby k is no longer required to be a multiple of register blocksize when packing triangular micro-panels. - Adjusted trmm3 according to above changes. - Retired trmm_t control tree creation/initialization functions.
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!
