Modifications to testinghelpers::get_value_string() to allow floating point values (e.g. for alpha and beta) to be used in generating test names. Values will be generated in the form 1p3 or m2p4, or 3p0_4p5i for complex data. One decimal place is currently enabled but this can be increased if needed. This helps prevent duplicate test name errors when the list of values for alpha or beta includes e.g. 1.0 and 1.3. Also add support in testinghelpers::get_value_string() for variables of type gtint_t. AMD-Internal: [CPUPL-4500] Change-Id: Icc8ca3c3cfacd7d46fffefee5a6e05452f704d4e
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.
