rocBLAS 3.0.0 for ROCm 5.6.0

Optimizations

• Improved performance of Level 2 rocBLAS GEMV on gfx90a GPU for non-transposed problems having small matrices and larger batch counts. Performance enhanced for problem sizes when m and n <= 32 and batch_count >= 256.
• Improved performance of rocBLAS syr2k for single, double, and double-complex precision, and her2k for double-complex precision. Slightly improved performance for general sizes on gfx90a.

Added

• Added bf16 inputs and f32 compute support to Level 1 rocBLAS Extension functions axpy_ex, scal_ex and nrm2_ex.

Deprecated

• trmm inplace is deprecated. It will be replaced by trmm that has both inplace and out-of-place functionality
• rocblas_query_int8_layout_flag() is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
• rocblas_gemm_flags_pack_int8x4 enum is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
• rocblas_set_device_memory_size() is deprecated and will be replaced by a future function rocblas_increase_device_memory_size()
• rocblas_is_user_managing_device_memory() is deprecated and will be removed in a future release

Removed

• is_complex helper was deprecated and now removed. Use rocblas_is_complex instead.
• The enum truncate_t and the value truncate was deprecated and now removed from. It was replaced by rocblas_truncate_t and rocblas_truncate, respectively.
• rocblas_set_int8_type_for_hipblas was deprecated and is now removed.
• rocblas_get_int8_type_for_hipblas was deprecated and is now removed.

Dependencies

• build only dependency on python joblib added as used by Tensile build
• fix for cmake install on some OS when performed by install.sh -d --cmake_install

Fixed

• make trsm offset calculations 64 bit safe

Changed

• refactor rotg test code
