Details: - Added the blas2blis compatibility layer, located in frame/compat. This includes virtually all of the BLAS, including banded and packed level-2 operations. - Defined bl2_init_safe(), bl2_finalize_safe(). The former allows a conditional initialization, which stores the "exit status" in an err_t, which is then read by the latter function to determine whether finalization should actually take place. - Added calls to bl2_init_safe(), bl2_finalize_safe() to all level-2 and level-3 BLAS-like wrappers. - Added configuration option to instruct BLIS to remain initialized whenever it automatically initializes itself (via bl2_init_safe()), until/unless the application code explicitly calls bl2_finalize(). - Added INSERT_GENTFUNC* and INSERT_GENTPROT* macros to facilitate type templatization of blas2blis wrappers. - Defined level-0 scalar macro bl2_??swaps(). - Defined level-1v operation bl2_swapv(). - Defined some "Fortran" types to bl2_type_defs.h for use with BLAS wrappers.
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!
