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.
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
when to evaluate arguments and when to meta-unroll.
-use it in Product to determine when to eval args. not yet used
to determine when to unroll. for now, not used anywhere else but
that'll follow.
-fix badness of my last commit
to disable eigen's asserts without disabling one's own program's
asserts. Notice that Eigen code should now use ei_assert()
instead of assert().
* Remove findBiggestCoeff() as it's now almost redundant.
* Improve echelon.cpp: inner for loop replaced by xprs.
* remove useless "(*this)." here and there. I think they were
first introduced by automatic search&replace.
* fix compilation in Visitor.h (issue triggered by echelon.cpp)
* improve comment on swap().
* added cache efficient matrix-matrix product.
- provides a huge speed-up for large matrices.
- currently it is enabled when an explicit unrolling is not possible.
internal classes: AaBb -> ei_aa_bb
IntAtRunTimeIfDynamic -> ei_int_if_dynamic
unify UNROLLING_LIMIT (there was no reason to have operator= use
a higher limit)
etc...
Finally the importing macro is named EIGEN_BASIC_PUBLIC_INTERFACE
because it does not only import the ei_traits, it also makes the base class
a friend, etc.
template parameter "Scalar" is removed. This is achieved by introducting a
template <typename Derived> struct Scalar to achieve a forward-declaration of
the Scalar typedefs.
Rework the matrix storage to ensure optimal sizeof in all cases, while
keeping the decoupling of matrix sizes versus storage sizes.
Also fixing (recently introduced) bugs caused by unwanted
reallocations of the buffers.
- finally get the Eval stuff right. get back to having Eval as
a subclass of Matrix with limited functionality, and then,
add a typedef MatrixType to get the actual matrix type.
- add swap(), findBiggestCoeff()
- bugfix by Ramon in Transpose
- new demo: doc/echelon.cpp
dimension. The advantage is that evaluating a dynamic-sized block in a fixed-size
matrix no longer causes a dynamic memory allocation. Other new thing:
IntAtRunTimeIfDynamic allows storing an integer at zero cost if it is known at
compile time.
column-major order, even if storage is row-major. Benchmark showed that adapting
the traversal order to the storage order brought no benefit.
Also do some cleanup after Gael's big patch.
