Details: - Defined a new level-1d operation called 'shiftd', including object and typed APIs. This operation adds a scalar value to every element along an arbitrary diagonal of a matrix. Currently, shiftd is implemented in terms of the addv kernel. (The scalar is passed in as the x vector with an increment of zero.) - Replaced ad-hoc usage of setd and addd (after creating a temporary matrix object) with use of shiftd, which is much more concise, in various test driver files in the testsuite. Similar changes were made to the standalone test drivers and the example code. - Added documentation entries in BLISObjectAPI.md and BLISTypedAPI.md for bli_shiftd() and bli_?shiftd(), respectively. - Added observed object properties to level-1d documentation in BLISObjectAPI.md.
BLIS typed API examples ----------------------- This directory contains several files, each containing various pieces of example code that demonstrate core functionality of the typed API in BLIS. These example files should be thought of collectively like a tutorial, and therefore it is recommended to start from the beginning (the file that starts in '00'). You can build all of the examples by simply running 'make' from this directory. (You can also run 'make clean'.) The makefile assumes that you've already configured and built (but not necessarily installed) BLIS two directories up, in "../..". If you have already installed BLIS to some permanent directory, you may refer to that installation by setting the environment variable BLIS_INSTALL_PATH prior to running make: export BLIS_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local; make or by setting the same variable as part of the make command: make BLIS_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local Once the executable files have been built, we recommend reading the code in one terminal window alongside the executable output in another. This will help you see the effects of each section of code. This tutorial is not exhaustive or complete; many typed API functions were omitted (mostly for brevity's sake) and thus more examples could be written. If you've found typed functionality in BLIS and are unsure how to use it, or if you are unsure of what additional functionality is present in BLIS, please feel free to join and then start a discussion on the blis-devel mailing list [1].
