Details: - Added two more arguments to the gemm and gemmtrsm microkernels: the addresses of the next micro-panels of A and B. By passing these pointers into the micro-kernel, we allow the micro-kernel author to prefetch micro-panels of A and B as necessary (though this is completely optional; these addresses may also be safely ignored). - Updated all seven macro-kernels so that they compute and pass in a_next and b_next. Note that ONLY the gemm macro-kernel computes a_next and b_next with the precise semantics we want. I will go back and fix the other macro-kernels in the near future. - Added 'restrict' to various micro-kernels from which it was missing.
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!
