OpenBLAS 0.3.7 version

common:

• having the gmake special variables TARGET_ARCH or TARGET_MACH defined no longer causes build failures in ctest or utest
• defining NO_AFFINITY or USE_TLS to zero in gmake builds no longer has the same effect as setting them to one
• a new test program was added to allow checking the library for thread safety
• a new option USE_LOCKING was added to ensure thread safety when OpenBLAS itself is built without multithreading but
  will be called from multiple threads.
• a build failure on Linux with glibc versions earlier than 2.5 was fixed
• a runtime error with CPU enumeration (and NO_AFFINITY not set) on glibc 2.6 was fixed
• NO_AFFINITY was added to the CMAKE options (and defaults to being active on Linux, as in the gmake builds)

x86_64

• the build-time logic for detection of AVX512 availability in the processor and compiler was fixed
• gmake builds on OSX now set the internal name of the library to libopenblas.0.dylib (consistent with CMAKE)
• the Haswell DGEMM kernel received a significant speedup through improved prefetch and load instructions
• performance of DGEMM, DTRMM, DTRSM and ZDOT on Zen/Zen2 was markedly increased by avoiding vpermpd instructions
• the SKYLAKEX (AVX512) DGEMM helper functions have now been disabled to fix remaining errors in DGEMM, DSYMM and DTRMM

POWER:

• added support for building on FreeBSD/powerpc64 and FreeBSD/ppc970
• added optimized kernels for POWER9 single and double precision complex BLAS3
• added optimized kernels for POWER9 SGEMM and STRMM

ARMV7:

OpenBLAS 0.3.6 version

common:

- the build tools now check that a given cpu TARGET is actually valid
- the build-time check of system features (c_check) has been made
  less dependent on particular perl features (this should mainly
  benefit building on Windows)
- several problems with ReLAPACK and its integration were fixed,
  including INTERFACE64 support and building a shared library
- building with CMAKE on BSD systems was improved
- a non-absolute SUM function was added based on the
  existing optimized code for ASUM
- CBLAS interfaces to the IxMIN and IxMAX functions were added
- a name clash between LAPACKE and BOOST headers was resolved
- CMAKE builds with OpenMP failed to include the appropriate getrf_parallel
  kernels
- a crash on thread (key) deletion with the USE_TLS=1 memory management
  option was fixed
- restored several earlier fixes, in particular for OpenMP performance,
  building on BSD, and calling fork on CYGWIN, which had inadvertently
  been dropped in the 0.3.3 rewrite of the memory management code.

  test failures or segfaults when compiled with recent versions of gcc from 8 onward.
- a similar bug was fixed in the blas_quickdivide code used to split workloads
  in most functions

common:

• loop unrolling in TRMV has been enabled again.
• A domain error in the thread workload distribution for SYRK
  has been fixed.
• gmake builds will now automatically add -fPIC to the build
  options if the platform requires it.
• a pthreads key leakage (and associate crash on dlclose) in
  the USE_TLS codepath was fixed.
• building of the utest cases on systems that do not provide
  an implementation of complex.h was fixed.

OpenBLAS 0.3.4 version

common:

• the new, experimental thread-local memory allocation had
  inadvertently been left enabled for gmake builds in 0.3.3
  despite the announcement. It is now disabled by default, and
  single-threaded builds will keep using the old allocator even
  if the USE_TLS option is turned on.
• OpenBLAS will now provide enough buffer space for at least 50
  threads by default.
• The output of openblas_get_config() now contains the version
  number.
• A serious thread safety bug in GEMV operation with small M and
  large N size has been fixed.
• The code will now automatically call blas_thread_init after a
  fork if needed before handling a call to openblas_set_num_threads
• Accesses to parallelized level3 functions from multiple callers
  are now serialized to avoid thread races (unless using OpenMP).
  This should provide better performance than the known-threadsafe
  (but non-default) USE_SIMPLE_THREADED_LEVEL3 option.
• When building LAPACK with gfortran, -frecursive is now (again)
  enabled by default to ensure correct behaviour.
• The OpenBLAS version cblas.h now supports both CBLAS_ORDER and
  CBLAS_LAYOUT as the name of the matrix row/column order option.
• Externally set LDFLAGS are now passed through to the final compile/link
  steps to facilitate setting platform-specific linker flags.
• A potential race condition during the build of LAPACK (that would
  usually manifest itself as a failure to build TESTING/MATGEN) has been
  fixed.
• xHEMV has been changed to stay single-threaded for small input sizes
  where the overhead of multithreading exceeds any possible gains
• CSWAP and ZSWAP have been limited to a single thread except on ARMV8 or
  ThunderX hardware with sizable input.
• Linker flags for the PGI compiler have been updated
• Behaviour of AXPY with zero increments is now handled in the C interface,
  correcting the result on at least Intel Atom.
• The result matrix from calling SGELSS with an all-zero input matrix is
  now zeroed completely.

x86_64:

• Autodetection of AMD Ryzen2 has been fixed (again).
• CMAKE builds now support labeling of an INTERFACE64=1 build of
  the library with the _64 suffix.
• AVX512 version of DGEMM has been added and the AVX512 SGEMM kernel
  has been sped up by rewriting with C intrinsics
• Fixed compilation on RHEL5/CENTOS5 (issue with typename __WAIT_STATUS)

POWER:

• added support for building on AIX (with gcc and GNU tools from AIX Toolbox).
• CPU type detection has been implemented for AIX.

• AXPY on LOONGSON3A has been corrected to pass "zero increment" utest.
• DSDOT on LOONGSON3A has been fixed.
• the SGEMM microkernel has been hardened against potential data loss.

ARMV8:

• DYNAMic_ARCH support is now available for 64bit ARM
• cross-compiling for ARMV8 under iOS now works.
• cpu-specific code has been rearranged to make better use of both
  hardware commonalities and model-specific compiler optimizations.
• XGENE1 has been removed as a TARGET, superseded by the improved generic
  ARMV8 support.

ARMV7:

• Older assembly mnemonics have been converted to UAL form to allow
  building with clang 7.0
• Cross compiling LAPACKE for Android has been fixed again (broken by
  update to LAPACK 3.7.0 some while ago).

OpenBLAS 0.3.3 version

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 allow enabling the new code instead,
  and it is hoped that this can become the default again in the next version.
• LAPACK PR272 has been integrated, which fixes spurious errors
  in DSYEVR and related functions caused by missing conversion
  from ILAENV to ILAENV_2STAGE in several _2stage routines.
• the cmake-generated OpenBLASConfig.cmake now uses correct case
  for the name of the library
• added support for Haiku OS

x86_64:

• added AVX512 implementations of SDOT, DDOT, SAXPY, DAXPY,
  DSCAL, DGEMVN and DSYMVL
• added a workaround for a cygwin issue that prevented compilation
  of AVX512 code

• fixed TRMM errors in the generic target

ARMV7:

• corrected xDOT behaviour with zero INC_X or INC_Y

x86_64:

• retired some older targets of DYNAMIC_ARCH builds to a new option DYNAMIC_OLDER,
  this affects PENRYN,DUNNINGTON,OPTERON,OPTERON_SSE3,BOBCAT,ATOM and NANO
  (which will still be supported via the slower PRESCOTT kernels when this option is not set)
• added an option DYNAMIC_LIST that (used in conjunction with DYNAMIC_ARCH) allows
  to specify the list of x86_64 targets to include. Any target not on the list will be supported by
  the Sandybridge or Nehalem kernels if available, or by Prescott.
• improved SWITCH_RATIO on Haswell for increased GEMM throughput
• added initial support for Intel Skylake X, including an AVX512 SGEMM kernel
• added autodetection of Intel Cannon Lake series as Skylake X

  recent mingw from MSYS2
