integer(kind(rocblas_status_success)) function rocblas_gemm_ex_ (handle, transA, transB, m, n, k, alpha, a, a_type, lda, b, b_type, ldb, beta, c, c_type, ldc, d, d_type, ldd, compute_type, algo, solution_index, flags)
 

Detailed Description

BLAS EX API.

gemm_ex performs one of the matrix-matrix operations

D = alpha*op( A )*op( B ) + beta*C,

where op( X ) is one of

op( X ) = X      or
op( X ) = X**T   or
op( X ) = X**H,

alpha and beta are scalars, and A, B, C, and D are matrices, with op( A ) an m by k matrix, op( B ) a k by n matrix and C and D are m by n matrices.

Supported types are as follows:

  • rocblas_datatype_f64_r = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f32_r = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f16_r = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f16_r = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type; rocblas_datatype_f32_r = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f16_r = a_type = b_type; rocblas_datatype_f32_r = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_bf16_r = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type; rocblas_datatype_f32_r = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_bf16_r = a_type = b_type; rocblas_datatype_f32_r = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_i8_r = a_type = b_type; rocblas_datatype_i32_r = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f32_c = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type = compute_type
  • rocblas_datatype_f64_c = a_type = b_type = c_type = d_type = compute_type

ROCm 4.2 supports two different versions of a = b = i8_r (in) and c = d = i32_r (out):

  • Both versions are rocblas_datatype_i8_r = a_type = b_type; rocblas_datatype_i32_r = c_type = d_type = compute_type, in addition to a last flag param indicating packing input or not.
     - Without setting the last param 'flags' (default=none), this is supported for gfx908 or
    
    later GPUs only. Input a/b won't be packed into int8x4. So the following size restrictions and packing pseudo-code is not neccessary.
     - Set the last param 'flags' |= rocblas_gemm_flags_pack_int8x4. Input a/b would be packed
    
    into int8x4, and this will impose some size restrictions on A or B (See below.) For GPUs before gfx908, only packed-int8 version is supported so this flag and packing is required, while gfx908 GPUs support both versions.

Below are restrictions for rocblas_datatype_i8_r = a_type = b_type; rocblas_datatype_i32_r = c_type = d_type = compute_type; flags |= rocblas_gemm_flags_pack_int8x4:

  • k must be a multiple of 4
  • lda must be a multiple of 4 if transA == rocblas_operation_transpose
  • ldb must be a multiple of 4 if transB == rocblas_operation_none
  • for transA == rocblas_operation_none or transB == rocblas_operation_transpose the matrices A and B must have each 4 consecutive values in the k dimension packed. This packing can be achieved with the following pseudo-code. The code assumes the original matrices are in A and B, and the packed matrices are A_packed and B_packed. The size of the A_packed matrix is the same as the size of the A matrix, and the size of the B_packed matrix is the same as the size of the B matrix.
if(transa == rocblas_operation_none)
{
int nb = 4;
for(int i_m = 0; i_m < m; i_m++)
{
for(int i_k = 0; i_k < k; i_k++)
{
a_packed[i_k % nb + (i_m + (i_k nb) * lda) * nb] = a[i_m + i_k * lda];
}
}
}
else
{
a_packed = a;
}
if(transb == rocblas_operation_transpose)
{
int nb = 4;
for(int i_n = 0; i_n < m; i_n++)
{
for(int i_k = 0; i_k < k; i_k++)
{
b_packed[i_k % nb + (i_n + (i_k nb) * ldb) * nb] = b[i_n + i_k * ldb];
}
}
}
else
{
b_packed = b;
