OpenBLAS 0.3.28 version

2 months ago

general:

  • Reworked the unfinished implementation of HUGETLB from GotoBLAS
    for allocating huge memory pages as buffers on suitable systems
  • Changed the unfinished implementation of GEMM3M for the generic
    target on all architectures to at least forward to regular GEMM
  • Improved multithreaded GEMM performance for large non-skinny matrices
  • Improved BLAS3 performance on larger multicore systems through improved
    parallelism
  • Improved performance of the initial memory allocation by reducing
    locking overhead
  • Improved performance of GBMV at small problem sizes by introducing
    a size barrier for the switch to multithreading
  • Added an implementation of the CBLAS_GEMM_BATCH extension
  • Fixed miscompilation of CAXPYC and ZAXPYC on all architectures in
    CMAKE builds (error introduced in 0.3.27)
  • Fixed corner cases involving the handling of NAN and INFINITY
    arguments in ?SCAL on all architectures
  • Added support for cross-compiling to WEBM with CMAKE (in addition
    to the already present makefile support)
  • Fixed NAN handling and potential accuracy issues in compilations with
    Intel ICX by supplying a suitable fp-model option by default
  • The contents of the github project wiki have been converted into
    a new set of documentation included with the source code.
  • It is now possible to register a callback function that replaces
    the built-in support for multithreading with an external backend
    like TBB (openblas_set_threads_callback_function)
  • Fixed potential duplication of suffixes in shared library naming
  • Improved C compiler detection by the build system to tolerate more
    naming variants for gcc builds
  • Fixed an unnecessary dependency of the utest on CBLAS
  • Fixed spurious error reports from the BLAS extensions utest
  • Fixed unwanted invocation of the GEMM3M tests in cross-compilation
  • Fixed a flaw in the makefile build that could lead to the pkgconfig
    file containing an entry of UNKNOWN for the target cpu after installing
  • Integrated fixes from the Reference-LAPACK project:
    • Fixed uninitialized variables in the LAPACK tests for ?QP3RK (PR 961)
    • Fixed potential bounds error in ?UNHR_COL/?ORHR_COL (PR 1018)
    • Fixed potential infinite loop in the LAPACK testsuite (PR 1024)
    • Make the variable type used for hidden length arguments configurable (PR 1025)
    • Fixed SYTRD workspace computation and various typos (PR 1030)
    • Prevent compiler use of FMA that could increase numerical error in ?GEEVX (PR 1033)

x86_64:

  • reverted thread management under Windows to its state before 0.3.26
    due to signs of race conditions in some circumstances now under study
  • fixed accidental selection of the unoptimized generic SBGEMM kernel
    in CMAKE builds for CooperLake and SapphireRapids targets
  • fixed a potential thread buffer overrun in SBSTOBF16 on small systems
  • fixed an accuracy issue in ZSCAL introduced in 0.3.26
  • fixed compilation with CMAKE and recent releases of LLVM
  • added support for Intel Emerald Rapids and Meteor Lake cpus
  • added autodetection support for the Zhaoxin KX-7000 cpu
  • fixed autodetection of Intel Prescott (probably broken since 0.3.19)
  • fixed compilation for older targets with the Yocto SDK
  • fixed compilation of the converter-generated C versions
    of the LAPACK sources with gcc-14
  • improved compiler options when building with CMAKE and LLVM for
    AVX512-capable targets
  • added support for supplying the L2 cache size via an environment
    variable (OPENBLAS_L2_SIZE) in case it is not correctly reported
    (as in some VM configurations)
  • improved the error message shown when thread creation fails on startup
  • fixed setting the rpath entry of the dylib in CMAKE builds on MacOS

  • added A64FX to the cpu list for DYNAMIC_ARCH
  • fixed building with support for cpu affinity
  • worked around accuracy problems with C/ZNRM2 on NeoverseN1 and
    Apple M targets
  • improved GEMM performance on Neoverse V1
  • fixed compilation for NEOVERSEN2 with older compilers
  • fixed potential miscompilation of the SVE SDOT and DDOT kernels
  • fixed potential miscompilation of the non-SVE CDOT and ZDOT kernels
  • fixed a potential overflow when using very large user-defined BUFFERSIZE
  • fixed setting the rpath entry of the dylib in CMAKE builds on MacOS
