- Introduced new 8x24 macro kernels.
- 4 new kernels are added for beta 0, beta 1, beta -1
and beta N.
- IR and JR loop moved to ASM region.
- Kernels support row major storage scheme.
- Prefetch of current micro panel of C is enabled.
- Kernel supports negative offsets for A and B matrices.
- Moved alpha scaling from DGEMM kernel to B pack kernel.
- Tuned blocksizes for new kernel.
- Added support for alpha scaling in 24xk pack kernel.
- Reverted back to old b_next computation
in gemm_ker_var2.
- BugFix in 8x24 DGEMM kernel for beta 1,
comparsion for jmp conditions was done using integer
instructions, which caused beta 1 path to never be taken.
Fixed this by changing the comparsion to double.

AOCL-BLAS library
AOCL-BLAS is AMD's optimized version of BLAS targeted for AMD EPYC and Ryzen CPUs. It is developed as a forked version of BLIS (https://github.com/flame/blis), which is developed by members of the Science of High-Performance Computing (SHPC) group in the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin and other collaborators (including AMD). All known features and functionalities of BLIS are retained and supported in AOCL-BLAS library. AOCL-BLAS is regularly updated with the improvements from the upstream repository.
AOCL BLAS is optimized with SSE2, AVX2, AVX512 instruction sets which would be enabled based on the target Zen architecture using the dynamic dispatch feature. All prominent Level 3, Level 2 and Level 1 APIs are designed and optimized for specific paths targeting different size spectrums e.g., Small, Medium and Large sizes. These algorithms are designed and customized to exploit the architectural improvements of the target platform.
For detailed instructions on how to configure, build, install, and link against AOCL-BLAS on AMD CPUs, please refer to the AOCL User Guide located on AMD developer portal.
The upstream repository (https://github.com/flame/blis) contains further information on BLIS, including background information on BLIS design, usage examples, and a complete BLIS API reference.
AOCL-BLAS is developed and maintained by AMD. You can contact us on the email-id toolchainsupport@amd.com. You can also raise any issue/suggestion on the git-hub repository at https://github.com/amd/blis/issues.
