25 // Explanation of general gemmlowp terminology
26 // ===========================================
27 //
28 // We use the following abbreviations:
29 // LHS = "left-hand side"
30 // RHS = "right-hand side"
31 // Sometimes when referring to either LHS or RHS, we just say a "Side".
32 //
33 // In a matrix product of a MxK matrix times a KxN matrix,
34 // we call K the 'depth'. Note that M is the number of rows
35 // of the result (and of the LHS), and N is the number of columns
36 // of the result (and of the RHS).
37 //
38 // In each of the LHS and RHS matrices, we call 'width' the
39 // other dimension, besides the depth. So in the LHS, 'width'
40 // is the number of rows, while in the RHS, 'width' is the number
41 // of columns.
42 //
43 //  So in the LHS MxK matrix, the depth is K and the width in M.
44 // And in the RHS KxN matrix, the depth is K and the width in N.
45 //
46 // This is illustrated in this picture:
47 //
48 //                             RHS width
49 //                        <----------------->
50 //                        +-----------------+ ^
51 //                        |       RHS       | | Depth

55 //       LHS width | |H | |      Result     |
56 //                 | |S | |                 |

61 // Explanation of gemmlowp kernel formats and "cells"
62 // ==================================================
63 //
64 // Kernels operate on small LHS and RHS blocks that fit in registers.
65 // These blocks are stored contiguously in memory, but not always
66 // in a traditional column-major or row-major order; instead,
67 // they consist of a number of sub-blocks, which we call "cells",
68 // that are stored in column-major or row-major order. However,
69 // what really matters to us is not so much rows vs columns, but
70 // rather width vs depth. So we refer to "width-major" and "depth-major"
71 // storage orders. In the LHS, width-major means row-major,
72 // while in the RHS, width-major means column-major.
73 // There is also a third possibility, "diagonal order",
74 // which is unused at the moment.
75 //
76 // We aim to treat both sides, LHS and RHS, on an equal footing,
77 // so we call them both 'sides'. A KernelFormat thus is just a pair
78 // of KernelSideFormat's, one for LHS and one for RHS; each KernelSideFormat
79 // contains a CellFormat and a number of cells; cells are only ever
80 // stacked in the width dimension, which means stacked vertically in the
81 // LHS and stacked horizondally in the RHS.
82 //
83 // Example
84 // =======
85 //
86 // Let's work out the data layout expected by a kernel having the
87 // following format (the struct names here are defined below in this file):
88 //
89 // KernelFormat<
90 //   KernelSideFormat<CellFormat<3, 4>, 3>,
91 //   KernelSideFormat<CellFormat<5, 4>, 2>
92 // >
93 //
94 // The LHS format, KernelSideFormat<CellFormat<3, 4>, 3>, means:
95 // 3 cells, each cell having dimensions (width=3, depth=4), laid out in
96 // DepthMajor order (the default value, see CellFormat). In the LHS,
97 // DepthMajor means column-major, so the LHS cells are of size 3x4 in
98 // column-major order, so the LHS layout is:
99 //
100 // 0  3  6  9
101 // 1  4  7  10
102 // 2  5  8  11
103 // 12 15 18 21
104 // 13 16 19 22
105 // 14 17 20 23
106 // 24 27 30 33
107 // 25 28 31 34
108 // 26 29 32 35
109 //
110 // The RHS format, KernelSideFormat<CellFormat<5, 4>, 2>, means:
111 // 2 cells each having dimensions (width=5, depth=4), laid out in
112 // DepthMajor order (the default value, see CellFormat). In the RHS,
113 // DepthMajor means row-major, so the RHS cells are of size 4x5 in
114 // row-major order, so the RHS layout is:
115 //
116 // 0  1  2  3  4  20 21 22 23 24
117 // 5  6  7  8  9  25 26 27 28 29
118 // 10 11 12 13 14 30 31 32 33 34
119 // 15 16 17 18 19 35 36 37 38 39
