Details: - Relaxed a long-held requirement in register blocksizes that required the kernel programmer to choose a KC that was divisible by both MR and NR. This was very constraining on some architectures that did not use register blocksizes that were powers of two. The constraint is now enforced only for trmm and trsm, where it is needed, and it is now handled by "nudging" kc upward at runtime, if necessary, to be a multiple of MR or NR, as needed. - Defined bli_trmm_determine_kc_[fb]() and bli_trsm_determine_kc_[fb](), which determine blocksizes for trmm and trsm, taking special care to "nudge" the kc dimension up to a multiple of MR or NR, as needed. - Changed bli_trmm_blk_var3[fb].c to call bli_trmm_determine_kc_[fb]() instead of bli_determine_blocksize_[fb](). - Added safeguard to bli_align_dim_to_mult() that returns the dimension unmodified if the dimension multiple is zero (to avoid division by zero). - Removed cpp guard/check for KC % MR == 0 and KC % NR == 0 from bli_kernel_macro_defs.h. - Whitespace, variable name changes to bli_blocksize.c. - Removed old commented code from bli_gemm_cntl.c.
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!
