Details: - Updated level-2 and level-3 internal back-ends so that the operation's _check() function is called BEFORE any attempt to return early due to the presence of zero dimensions. This ordering makes more sense because (for example) object dimensions should match even if one of them is zero. Previously, a dimension mismatch could result in an early return with no error message. - Updated bli_check_object_buffer() so that NULL buffers result in an error only if the object is dimensionally non-empty (i.e., only if both of the object's dimensions are non-zero). This allows BLIS operations to be performed on dimensionally empty objects (i.e., where at least one dimension is zero). - Updated the error message associated with bli_check_object_buffer() to mention the newly relaxed constraint mentioned above, vis-a-vis non-zero dimensions.
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!
