Description Thomas Haschka 2023-12-12 07:46:01 UTC
In order to tune CLBlast, the build has to run tuners and then using the results patch the code. The build process for tuned CLBlast is outlined in:
 
https://github.com/CNugteren/CLBlast/blob/master/doc/tuning.md

In order to build a "tuned" version of CLBLast for the underlying OpenCL architecture the CLBlast has to be build as follows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DTUNERS=ON ..
make
make alltuners
python ../scripts/database/database.py . ..
make

Tuning like this can take a long time, especially on low powered machines. It further requires a stable cpu / gpu frequency if possible, as thermal throtteling / turboing might lead to undisired results. As such it would be nice if tuning can be enabled using a "USE" flag. 

Anyways there should be a way to build the tuned version, especially as it is advertised as "tuned" blas, which in the current build-process it is not. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v sci-libs/clblast
Actual Results:  
Builds the untuned version of clblast

Expected Results:  
should build or at least offer a possibility to build the tuned version of clblast.
