21eda8b5 introduced a check in getarch.c to test if the compiler is capable of
AVX512. This check currently fails, since the used __AVX2__ macro is only
defined if getarch itself was compiled with AVX2/AVX512 support. Make sure this
is the case by building getarch with -march=native on x86_64. It is only
supposed to run on the build host anyway.
Enable DYNAMIC_ARCH feature on ARM64. This patch uses the cpuid
feature in linux kernel to detect the core type at runtime
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/cpu-feature-registers.txt).
If this feature is missing in kernel, then the user should use the
OPENBLAS_CORETYPE env variable to select the desired core type.
This patch adds the basic infrastructure for adding the SkylakeX (Intel Skylake server)
target. The SkylakeX target will use the AVX512 (AVX512VL level) instruction set,
which brings 2 basic things:
1) 512 bit wide SIMD (2x width of AVX2)
2) 32 SIMD registers (2x the number on AVX2)
This initial patch only contains a trivial transofrmation of the Haswell SGEMM kernel
to AVX512VL; more will follow later but this patch aims to get the infrastructure
in place for this "later".
Full performance tuning has not been done yet; with more registers and wider SIMD
it's in theory possible to retune the kernels but even without that there's an
interesting enough performance increase (30-40% range) with just this change.
The deprecated -openmp option was finally removed in favor of -qopenmp or -fopenmp, picking the latter to stay compatible with Intel compiler versions before 2015 (when -q options were introduced). Fixes#1546
