Using `OpenMP::OpenMP_LANG` targets for CMake is less error-prone than
passing the compiler and linker flags manually. Furthermore, it allows
the user to customize those flags by setting `OpenMP_LANG_FLAGS`,
`OpenMP_LANG_LIB_NAMES`, and `OpenMP_omp_LIBRARY`.
Previously dynamic builds were either using the default SWITCH_RATIO
or one from the higher level architecture; this patch ensures the
dynamic builds can use this parameter as well.
Enable new build target platform -- COOPERLAKE. This target platform
supports all the SKYLAKEX supported ISAs + avx512bf16. So all the
SKYLAKEX specific kernels/drivers and related code are now extended
to be also active on COOPERLAKE. Besides, new BF16 related kernels
are active under this target.
* make building the bfloat16 BLAS functions conditional on BUILD_HALF
* pass the BUILD_HALF option to gensymbol
* Pass BUILD_HALF as a compiler define for dynamic_arch builds
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.
