OpenBLAS ChangeLog
====================================================================
Version 0.3.18
02-Oct-2021
general:
- when the build-time number of preconfigured threads is exceeded
at runtime (typically by an external program calling BLAS functions
from a larger number of threads in parallel), OpenBLAS will now
allocate an auxiliary control structure for up to 512 additional
threads instead of aborting
- added support for Loongson's LoongArch64 cpu architecture
- fixed building OpenBLAS with CMAKE and -DBUILD_BFLOAT16=ON
- added support for building OpenBLAS as a CMAKE subproject
- added support for building for Windows/ARM64 targets with clang
- improved support for building with the IBM xlf compiler
- imported Reference-LAPACK PR 625 (out-of-bounds reads in ?LARRV)
- imported Reference-LAPACK PR 597 for testsuite compatibility with
LLVM's libomp
x86_64:
- added SkylakeX S/DGEMM kernels for small problem sizes (M*N*K<=1000000)
- added optimized SBGEMM for Intel Cooper Lake
- reinstated the performance patch for AVX512 SGEMV_T with a proper fix
- added a workaround for a gcc11 tree-vectorizer bug that caused spurious
failures in the test programs for complex BLAS3 when compiling at -O3
(the default for cmake "release" builds)
- added support for runtime cpu count detection under Haiku OS
- worked around a long-standing miscompilation issue of the Haswell DGEMV_T
kernel with gcc that could produce NaN output in some corner cases
POWER:
- improved performance of DASUM on POWER10
ARMV8:
- fixed crashes (use of reserved register x18) on Apple M1 under OSX
- fixed building with gcc releases earlier than 5.1
MIPS:
- fixed building under BSD
MIPS64:
- fixed building under BSD
====================================================================
Version 0.3.17
15-Jul-2021
common:
- reverted the optimization of SGEMV_N/DGEMV_N for small input sizes
and consecutive arguments as it led to stack overflows on x86_64
with some operating systems (notably OSX and Windows)
x86_64:
- reverted the performance patch for SGEMV_T on AVX512 as it caused
wrong results in some applications
SPARC:
- fixed compilation with compilers other than gcc
====================================================================
Version 0.3.16
11-Jul-2021
common:
- drastically reduced the stack size requirements for running the LAPACK
testsuite (Reference-LAPACK PR 553)
- fixed spurious test failures in the LAPACK testsuite (Reference-LAPACK
PR 564)
- expressly setting DYNAMIC_ARCH=0 no longer enables dynamic_arch mode
- improved performance of xGER, xSPR, xSPR2, xSYR, xSYR2, xTRSV, SGEMV_N
and DGEMV_N, for small input sizes and consecutive arguments
- improved performance of xGETRF, xPORTF and xPOTRI for small input sizes
by disabling multithreading
- fixed installing with BSD versions of the "install" utility
RISCV:
- fixed the implementation of xIMIN
- improved the performance of DSDOT
- fixed linking of the tests on C910V with current vendor gcc
POWER:
- fixed SBGEMM computation for some odd value inputs
- fixed compilation for PPCG4, PPC970, POWER3, POWER4 and POWER5
x86_64:
- improved performance of SGEMV_N and SGEMV_T for small N on AVX512-capable cpus
- worked around a miscompilation of ZGEMM/ZTRMM on Sandybridge with old gcc
versions
- fixed compilation with MS Visual Studio versions older than 2017
- fixed macro name collision with winnt.h from the latest Win10 SDK
- added cpu type autodetection for Intel Ice Lake SP
- fixed cpu type autodetection for Intel Tiger Lake
- added cpu type autodetection for recent Centaur/Zhaoxin models
- fixed compilation with musl libc
ARM64:
- fixed compilation with gcc/gfortran on the Apple M1
- fixed linking of the tests on FreeBSD
- fixed missing restore of a register in the recently rewritten DNRM2 kernel
for ThunderX2 and Neoverse N1 that could cause spurious failures in e.g.
DGEEV
- added compiler optimization flags for the EMAG8180
- added initial support for Cortex A55
ARM:
- fixed linking of the tests on FreeBSD
====================================================================
Version 0.3.15
2-May-2021
common:
- imported improvements and bugfixes from Reference-LAPACK 3.9.1
- imported LAPACKE interface fixes from Reference-LAPACK PRs 534 + 537
- fixed a problem in the cpu detection of 0.3.14 that prevented cross-compilation
- fixed a sequence problem in the generation of softlinks to the library in GMAKE
RISC V:
- fixed compilation on RISCV (missing entry in getarch)
- fixed a potential division by zero in CROTG and ZROTG
POWER:
- fixed LAPACK testsuite failures seen with the NVIDIA HPC compiler
- improved CGEMM, DGEMM and ZGEMM performance on POWER10
- added an optimized ZGEMV kernel for POWER10
- fixed a potential division by zero in CROTG and ZROTG
x86_64:
- added support for Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET)
- reverted the DOMATCOPY_RT code to the generic C version
- fixed a bug in the AVX512 SGEMM kernel introduced in 0.3.14
- fixed misapplication of -msse flag to non-SSE cpus in DYNAMIC_ARCH
- added support for compilation of the benchmarks on older OSX versions
- fix propagation of the NO_AVX512 option in CMAKE builds
- fix compilation of the AVX512 SGEMM kernel with clang-cl on Windows
- fixed compilation of the CTESTs with INTERFACE64=1 (random faults on OSX)
- corrected the Haswell DROT kernel to require AVX2/FMA3 rather than AVX512
ARM:
- fixed a potential division by zero in CROTG and ZROTG
- fixed a potential overflow in IMATCOPY/ZIMATCOPY and the CTESTs
ARM64:
- fixed spurious reads outside the array in the SGEMM tcopy macro
- fixed a potential division by zero in CROTG and ZROTG
- fixed a segmentation fault in DYNAMIC_ARCH builds (reappeared in 0.3.14)
MIPS

Version 0.3.3
31-Aug-2018
common:
* thread memory allocation has been switched back to the method
used before version 0.3.1 due to unexpected problems caused by
the new code under some circumstances. A new compile-time option
USE_TLS has been added to enable the new code, and it is hoped
that this can become the default again in the next version.

for the name of the library
