(needed by the new product implementation)
* Make the packet* members template to support aligned and unaligned
access. This makes Block vectorizable. Combined with ReferencableBit,
we should be able to determine at runtime (in some specific cases) if
an aligned vectorization is possible or not.
* Improved the new product implementation to robustly handle all cases,
it now passes all the tests.
* Renamed the packet version ei_predux to ei_preduxp to avoid name collision.
* Introduce a new highly optimized matrix-matrix product for large
matrices. The code is still highly experimental and it is activated
only if you define EIGEN_WIP_PRODUCT at compile time.
Currently the third dimension of the product must be a factor of
the packet size (x4 for floats) and the right handed side matrix
must be column major.
Moreover, currently c = a*b; actually computes c += a*b !!
Therefore, the code is provided for experimentation purpose only !
These limitations will be fixed soon or later to become the default
product implementation.
extended cache optimal product to work in any row/column
major situations, and a few bugfixes (forgot to add the
Cholesky header, vectorization of CwiseBinary)
m.upper() = a+b;
only updates the upper triangular part of m.
Note that:
m = (a+b).upper();
updates all coefficients of m (but half of the additions
will be skiped)
Updated back/forward substitution to better use Eigen's capability.
part of a matrix. Triangular also provide an optimised method for forward
and backward substitution. Further optimizations regarding assignments and
products might come later.
Updated determinant() to take into account triangular matrices.
Started the QR module with a QR decompostion algorithm.
Help needed to build a QR algorithm (eigen solver) based on it.
- support dynamic sizes
- support arbitrary matrix size when the matrix can be seen as a 1D array
(except for fixed size matrices where the size in Bytes must be a factor of 16,
this is to allow compact storage of a vector of matrices)
Note that the explict vectorization is still experimental and far to be completely tested.
are provided to handle not suported types seemlessly.
Added a generic null-ary expression with null-ary functors. They replace
Zero, Ones, Identity and Random.
- let Inverse take template parameter MatrixType instead
of ExpressionType, in order to reduce executable code size
when taking inverses of xpr's.
- introduce ei_corrected_matrix_flags : the flags template
parameter to the Matrix class is only a suggestion. This
is also useful in ei_eval.
(only 30 muls for size 4)
- rework the matrix inversion: now using cofactor technique for size<=3,
so the ugly unrolling is only used for size 4 anymore, and even there
I'm looking to get rid of it.
* Use them to write an unrolled path in echelon.cpp, as an
experiment before I do this LU module.
* For floating-point types, make ei_random() use an amplitude
of 1.
using a macro and _Pragma.
- use OpenMP also in cacheOptimalProduct and in the
vectorized paths as well
- kill the vector assignment unroller. implement in
operator= the logic for assigning a row-vector in
a col-vector.
- CMakeLists support for building tests/examples
with -fopenmp and/or -msse2
- updates in bench/, especially replace identity()
by ones() which prevents underflows from perturbing
bench results.
* add -pedantic to CXXFLAGS
* cleanup intricated expressions with && and ||
which gave warnings because of "missing" parentheses
* fix compile error in NumTraits, apparently discovered
by -pedantic
Currently only the following platform/operations are supported:
- SSE2 compatible architecture
- compiler compatible with intel's SSE2 intrinsics
- float, double and int data types
- fixed size matrices with a storage major dimension multiple of 4 (or 2 for double)
- scalar-matrix product, component wise: +,-,*,min,max
- matrix-matrix product only if the left matrix is vectorizable and column major
or the right matrix is vectorizable and row major, e.g.:
a.transpose() * b is not vectorized with the default column major storage.
To use it you must define EIGEN_VECTORIZE and EIGEN_INTEL_PLATFORM.
- make use of CoeffReadCost to determine when to unroll the loops,
for now only in Product.h and in OperatorEquals.h
performance remains the same: generally still not as good as before the
big changes.
ei_xpr_copy to evaluate args when needed. Had to introduce an ugly
trick with ei_unref as when the XprCopy type is a reference one can't
directly access member typedefs such as Scalar.
in ei_xpr_copy and operator=, respectively.
* added Matrix::lazyAssign() when EvalBeforeAssigningBit must be skipped
(mainly internal use only)
* all expressions are now stored by const reference
* added Temporary xpr: .temporary() must be called on any temporary expression
not directly returned by a function (mainly internal use only)
* moved all functors in the Functors.h header
* added some preliminaries stuff for the explicit vectorization
* added "all" and "any" special redux operators
* added support bool matrices
* added support for cost model of STL functors via ei_functor_traits
(By default ei_functor_traits query the functor member Cost)
useless copies are made when evaluating nested expressions.
Changes:
- kill LazyBit, introduce EvalBeforeNestingBit and EvalBeforeAssigningBit
- product and random don't evaluate immediately anymore
- eval() always evaluates
- change the value of Dynamic to some large positive value,
in preparation of future simplifications
