(does not support complex and does not re-use the QR decomposition)
* Rewrite the cache friendly product to have only one instance per scalar type !
This significantly speeds up compilation time and reduces executable size.
The current drawback is that some trivial expressions might be
evaluated like conjugate or negate.
* Renamed "cache optimal" to "cache friendly"
* Added the ability to directly access matrix data of some expressions via:
- the stride()/_stride() methods
- DirectAccessBit flag (replace ReferencableBit)
* Fix compilation of Inverse.h with vectorisation
* Introduce EIGEN_GNUC_AT_LEAST(x,y) macro doing future-proof (e.g. gcc v5.0) check
* Only use ProductWIP if vectorisation is enabled
* rename EIGEN_ALWAYS_INLINE -> EIGEN_INLINE with fall-back to inline keyword
* some cleanup/indentation
(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.
