rocBLAS 2.47.0 for ROCm 5.5.0

Added

• added functionality rocblas_geam_ex for matrix-matrix minimum operations
• added HIP Graph support as beta feature for rocBLAS Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3(pointer mode host) functions
• added beta features API. Exposed using compiler define ROCBLAS_BETA_FEATURES_API
• added support for vector initialization in the rocBLAS test framework with negative increments
• added windows build documentation for forthcoming support using ROCm HIP SDK
• added scripts to plot performance for multiple functions

Optimizations

• improved performance of Level 2 rocBLAS GEMV for float and double precision. Performance enhanced by 150-200% for certain problem sizes when (m==n) measured on a gfx90a GPU.
• improved performance of Level 2 rocBLAS GER for float, double and complex float precisions. Performance enhanced by 5-7% for certain problem sizes measured on a gfx90a GPU.
• improved performance of Level 2 rocBLAS SYMV for float and double precisions. Performance enhanced by 120-150% for certain problem sizes measured on both gfx908 and gfx90a GPUs.

Fixed

• fixed setting of executable mode on client script rocblas_gentest.py to avoid potential permission errors with clients rocblas-test and rocblas-bench
• fixed deprecated API compatibility with Visual Studio compiler
• fixed test framework memory exception handling for Level 2 functions when the host memory allocation exceeds the available memory

Changed

• install.sh internally runs rmake.py (also used on windows) and rmake.py may be used directly by developers on linux (use --help)
• rocblas client executables all now begin with rocblas- prefix

Removed

• install.sh removed options -o --cov as now Tensile will use the default COV format, set by cmake define Tensile_CODE_OBJECT_VERSION=default
