Details: - Consolidated most of the code relating to induced complex methods (e.g. 4mh, 4m1, 3mh, 3m1, etc.) into frame/ind. Induced methods are now enabled on a per-operation basis. The current "available" (enabled and implemented) implementation can then be queried on an operation basis. Micro-kernel func_t objects as well as blksz_t objects can also be queried in a similar maner. - Redefined several micro-kernel and operation-related functions in bli_info_*() API, in accordance with above changes. - Added mr and nr fields to blksz_t object, which point to the mr and nr blksz_t objects for each cache blocksize (and are NULL for register blocksizes). Renamed the sub-blocksize field "sub" to "mult" since it is really expressing a blocksize multiple. - Updated bli_*_determine_kc_[fb]() for gemm/hemm/symm, trmm, and trsm to correctly query mr and nr (for purposes of nudging kc). - Introduced an enumerated opid_t in bli_type_defs.h that uniquely identifies an operation. For now, only level-3 id values are defined, along with a generic, catch-all BLIS_NOID value. - Reworked testsuite so that all induced methods that are enabled are tested (one at a time) rather than only testing the first available method. - Reformated summary at the beginning of testsuite output so that blocksize and micro-kernel info is shown for each induced method that was requested (as well as native execution). - Reduced the number of columns needed to display non-matlab testsuite output (from approx. 90 to 80).
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!
