Description
The
cblas_?gemm_pack
 routine is one of a set of related routines that enable use of an internal packed storage. Call
cblas_?gemm_pack
 after you allocate a buffer whose size is given by
cblas_?gemm_pack_getsize
. The
cblas_?gemm_pack
 routine scales the identified matrix by alpha and packs it into the buffer allocated previously.
Do not copy the packed matrix to a different address because the internal implementation depends on the alignment of internally-stored metadata.
The
cblas_?gemm_pack
 routine performs this operation:
dest
 :=
alpha
*op(
src
)
 as part of the computation
C
 :=
alpha
*op(
A
)*op(
B
) +
beta
*
C
where:

    op(
    X
    )
     is one of the operations
    op(
    X
    ) =
    X
    ,
    op(
    X
    ) =
    X
    T
    , or
    op(
    X
    ) =
    X
    H
    ,

    alpha
     and
    beta
     are scalars,

    src
     is a matrix,

    A
     ,
    B
    , and
    C
     are matrices

    op(
    src
    )
     is an
    m
    -by-
    k
     matrix if
    identifier
     =
    CblasAMatrix
    ,

    op(
    src
    )
     is a
    k
    -by-
    n
     matrix if
    identifier
     =
    CblasBMatrix
    ,

    dest
     is an internal packed storage buffer.

You must use the same value of the
Layout
 parameter for the entire sequence of related
cblas_?gemm_pack
 and
cblas_?gemm_compute
 calls.
For best performance, use the same number of threads for packing and for computing.
If packing for both
A
 and
B
 matrices, you must use the same number of threads for packing
A
 as for packing
B
.
Input Parameters
Layout
Specifies whether two-dimensional array storage is row-major (
CblasRowMajor
) or column-major (
CblasColMajor
).
identifier
Specifies which matrix is to be packed:
If
identifier
 =
CblasAMatrix
, the routine allocates storage to pack matrix
A
.
If
identifier
 =
CblasBMatrix
, the routine allocates storage to pack matrix
B
.
trans
Specifies the form of
op(
src
)
 used in the packing:
If
trans
 =
CblasNoTrans
  
op(
src
) =
src
.
If
trans
 =
CblasTrans
  
op(
src
) =
src
T
.
If
trans
 =
CblasConjTrans
  
op(
src
) =
src
H
.
m
Specifies the number of rows of the matrix
op(
A
)
 and of the matrix
C
. The value of
m
 must be at least zero.
n
Specifies the number of columns of the matrix
op(
B
)
 and the number of columns of the matrix
C
. The value of
n
 must be at least zero.
k
Specifies the number of columns of the matrix
op(
A
)
 and the number of rows of the matrix
op(
B
)
. The value of
k
 must be at least zero.
alpha
Specifies the scalar
alpha
.
