This patch adds support for bfloat16 data type matrix multiplication kernel.
For architectures that don't support bfloat16, it is defined as unsigned short
(2 bytes). Default unroll sizes can be changed as per architecture as done for
SGEMM and for now 8 and 4 are used for M and N. Size of ncopy/tcopy can be
changed as per architecture requirement and for now, size 2 is used.
Added shgemm in kernel/power/KERNEL.POWER9 and tested in powerpc64le and
powerpc64. For reference, added a small test compare_sgemm_shgemm.c to compare
sgemm and shgemm output.
This patch does not cover OpenBLAS test, benchmark and lapack tests for shgemm.
Complex type implementation can be discussed and added once this is approved.
Setting DYNAMIC_ARCH=1 on POWER9 does not build POWER9 files due to some
compiler version checks. This patch fixes some of the macros that are used
to check compiler version. On fixing those checks, there are some new make
failures related to icamin, icamax, isamin, isamax and caxpy files on POWER9.
This patch fixes those failures as well.
the fallbacks from Makefile.L1 assume a combined source for absolute value and non-absolute (with ifdef USE_ABS) but here we have separate implementations
The altivec versions of SGEMM and CGEMM fail most test in LAPACK-TESTING when compiled for big endian, STRSM/CTRSM even cause segfaults. The rot kernels either fail the corresponding utest or lead to failures in LAPACK-TESTING.
* Add gcc7-generated assembly files for POWER8/9 isa/ica-min/max and POWER9 caxpy
To work around internal compiler errors encountered when compiling the original C source with gcc 4 and 5, and wrong code generated by gcc 8.3.0
* Use gcc-generated assembly instead of original C sources
to work around internal compiler errors encountered with gcc 4.8/5.4 and wrong code generation by gcc 8.3
* Use gcc-generated assembly instead of the original C source
to work around internal compiler errors encountered with gcc 4.8 and 5.4, and wrong code generation by gcc 8.3
* Add gcc7-generated assembler version of caxpy for power8
to work around wrong code generated by gcc 8.3
* Handle CONJ define for caxpyc
* Handle CONJ define for caxpyc
* Add gcc7-generated assembly cdot for POWER9
* Use prebuilt assembly for POWER9 cdot
created with gcc 7.3.1 to work around ICE in older gcc versions
* Exclude POWER9 from DYNAMIC_ARCH when gcc versions is lower than 6
* Update Makefile.system
* Use PROLOGUE macro to ensure correct function name for DYNAMIC_ARCH
* Disable POWER9 with old gcc versions
