Release Notes

The following are the release notes for the CSL Examples repository, csl-examples.

Version 1.3.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 1.3.0.
  • A new example program row-col-broadcast has been introduced which benchmarks the bandwidth of data transfers between host and device, where data is broadcast across a row or column of PEs, using the new memcpy_h2d_colbcast and memcpy_h2d_rowbcast APIs.
  • A new example program game-of-life has been introduced which implements Conway's Game of Life, where each PE is treated as a single cell.

Version 1.2.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 1.2.0.
  • All tutorial example programs have been updated to support WSE-3.
  • Two new example programs for switches, demonstrating use of the <control> library, have been added.
  • A new example program demonstrating the <simprint> library has been added.
  • wide-multiplication, residual, mandelbrot, gemv-collectives_2d, gemv-checkerboard-pattern, gemm-collectives_2d, stencil-3d-7pts, bicgstab, conjugateGradient, preconditionedConjugateGradient, and powerMethod programs have been updated to support WSE-3.

Version 1.1.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 1.1.0.
  • GEMV tutorials 1 through 8 have been updated to support WSE-2 and WSE-3.
  • cholesky, FFT, bandwidthTest, and single-tile-matvec programs have been updated to support WSE-2 and WSE-3.
  • New example program introduced to demonstrate WSE-3 features for separation of queue IDs from microthread IDs for asynchronous operations.

Version 1.0.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 1.0.0.
  • Several more tutorials in the GEMV series have been introduced.
  • A tutorial series which builds up an increasingly complex pipelined computation model have been introduced.

Version 0.9.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 0.9.0.
  • The CSELFRunner tutorials and benchmarks have been removed. Future programs should move to using SdkRuntime.
  • In addition to the SdkRuntime GEMV tutorials, straight ports of the legacy CSELFRunner tutorials have been introduced.
  • All remaining CSELFRunner benchmark programs have been ported to SdkRuntime, including histogram-torus, mandelbrot, cholesky, gemv-collectives_2d, and wide-multiplication.

Version 0.8.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 0.7.0.
  • A new set of SdkRuntime tutorials have been introduced, which introduce language features by building up an increasingly complex implementation of GEMV.
  • Several new SdkRuntime benchmark programs have been added, including spmv-hypersparse, stencil-3d-7pt, powerMethod, conjugateGradient, preconditionedConjugateGradient, and bicgstab.

Version 0.7.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 0.7.0.
  • The examples have been reorganized to partition them by their host runtime, CSELFRunner or SdkRuntime.
  • Five of the tutorial examples now have SdkRuntime versions.
  • gemm-collectives_2d now has an SdkRuntime version.
  • A new benchmark, bandwidthTest, has been added. There is only a version using SdkRuntime.

Version 0.6.0

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 0.6.0.

  • Several new examples added:

    • cholesky
    • hadamard-product
    • gemv-collectives_2d
    • gemm-collectives_2d

  • The gemv example has been refactored and renamed to gemv-checkerboard-pattern.

Version 0.5.1

  • The examples are improved and updated to comply with the SDK version 0.5.1.

  • Several new examples added:

    • histogram-inject
    • mandelbrot
    • residual-memcpy
    • stencil-memcpy

Version 0.4.0

  • This is the first release of the CSL Examples repository.
  • All examples are 100% compatible with the 0.4.0 release of the SDK.
  • Please refer to the README.rst file for information on the general repository structure.
