The original `fill` implementation introduced a 5x regression on my
nvidia Quadro K1200. @rohitsan reported up to 100x regression for
HIP. This restores performance.
For custom scalars, zero is not necessarily represented by
a zeroed-out memory block (e.g. gnu MPFR). We therefore
cannot rely on `memset` if we want to fill a matrix or tensor
with zeroes. Instead, we should rely on `fill`, which for trivial
types does end up getting converted to a `memset` under-the-hood
(at least with gcc/clang).
Requires adding a `fill(begin, end, v)` to `TensorDevice`.
Replaced all potentially bad instances of memset with fill.
Fixes#2245.
Made a class and singleton to encapsulate initialization and retrieval of
device properties.
Related to !481, which already changed the API to address a static
linkage issue.
m_deviceProperties and m_devicePropInitialized are defined as global
statics which will define multiple copies which can cause issues if
initializeDeviceProp() is called in one translation unit and then
m_deviceProperties is used in a different translation unit. Added
inline functions getDeviceProperties() and getDevicePropInitialized()
which defines those variables as static locals. As per the C++ standard
7.1.2/4, a static local declared in an inline function always refers
to the same object, so this should be safer. Credit to Sun Chenggen
for this fix.
This fixes issue #1475.
* Abstracting the pointer type so that both SYCL memory and pointer can be captured.
* Converting SYCL virtual pointer to SYCL device memory in Eigen evaluator class.
* Binding SYCL placeholder accessor to command group handler by using bind method in Eigen evaluator node.
* Adding SYCL macro for controlling loop unrolling.
* Modifying the TensorDeviceSycl.h and SYCL executor method to adopt the above changes.
