********************************************************************
Deprecations by version
********************************************************************
This topic lists the deprecated hipBLAS API elements by release, from newest to oldest.
Removed in hipBLAS 3.0
**********************
``hipblasDatatype_t`` was replaced with ``hipDataType`` in hipBLAS 3.0. All functions which previously used ``hipblasDatatype_t`` now
use ``hipDataType`` for every instance, except for as the ``compute_type`` in GEMM functions, in which ``hipblasComputeType_t`` is now used.
``hipblasComplex`` and ``hipblasDoubleComplex`` were replaced with ``hipComplex`` and ``hipDoubleComplex`` in hipBLAS 3.0.
Announced in hipBLAS 2.0
************************
hipblasDatatype_t will be replaced with hipDataType
=====================================================
Use of ``hipblasDatatype_t`` will give deprecation warnings telling you to compile with ``-DHIPBLAS_V2``
and to use ``hipDataType`` instead. All functions which currently use ``hipblasDatatype_t`` are therefore deprecated as well
and will be replaced with functions which use ``hipDataType`` in the place of ``hipblasDatatype_t``. These functions include:
``hipblasTrsmEx``, ``hipblasGemmEx``, ``hipblasGemmExWithFlags``, ``hipblasAxpyEx``, ``hipblasDot(c)Ex``, ``hipblasNrm2Ex``, ``hipblasRotEx``, ``hipblasScalEx``,
and the batched and strided-batched variants of these. See the documentation for each function for more information.
Note that there are no deprecation warnings for the hipBLAS Fortran API.
``hipblasDatatype_t`` will be removed in a future release, and the use of this type in the API will be replaced with ``hipDataType``.
hipblasComplex and hipblasDoubleComplex will be replaced by hipComplex and hipDoubleComplex
===========================================================================================
Use of these datatypes will give deprecation warnings telling you to compile with ``-DHIPBLAS_V2`` and to use HIP complex types
instead. All functions which currently use ``hipblasComplex`` and ``hipblasDoubleComplex`` are therefore deprecated as well
and will be replaced with functions which use ``hipComplex`` and ``hipDoubleComplex`` in their place.
Note that there are no deprecation warnings for the hipBLAS Fortran API.
``hipComplex`` and ``hipDoubleComplex`` will be removed in a future release, and the use of this type in the API will be replaced by
``hipComplex`` and ``hipDoubleComplex``.
``ROCM_MATHLIBS_API_USE_HIP_COMPLEX`` is also deprecated as the behavior provided by defining it will be the default in the future.
Removed in hipBLAS 2.0
**********************
Legacy BLAS in-place trmm is removed
====================================
The legacy BLAS in-place ``hipblasXtrmm`` that calculates ``B <- alpha * op(A) * B`` is removed and replaced with the
out-of-place ``hipblasXtrmm`` that calculates ``C <- alpha * op(A) * B``.
The prototype for the removed legacy BLAS in-place functionality was
::
hipblasStatus_t hipblasStrmm(hipblasHandle_t handle,
hipblasSideMode_t side,
hipblasFillMode_t uplo,
hipblasOperation_t transA,
hipblasDiagType_t diag,
int m,
int n,
const float* alpha,
const float* A,
int lda,
float* B,
int ldb);
The prototype for the replacement in-place and out-of-place functionality is
::
hipblasStatus_t hipblasStrmm(hipblasHandle_t handle,
hipblasSideMode_t side,
hipblasFillMode_t uplo,
hipblasOperation_t transA,
hipblasDiagType_t diag,
int m,
int n,
const float* alpha,
const float* A,
int lda,
const float* B,
int ldb,
float* C,
int ldc);
The legacy BLAS in-place functionality can be obtained with the new function if you set pointer ``C`` equal to pointer ``B`` and
``ldc`` equal to ``ldb``.
The out-of-place functionality is from setting pointer ``B`` so it is distinct from pointer ``C``.
Announced in hipBLAS 1.0
************************
Legacy BLAS in-place trmm functions will be replaced with trmm functions that support both in-place and out-of-place functionality
==================================================================================================================================
Use of the deprecated Legacy BLAS in-place trmm functions will give deprecation warnings telling
you to compile with ``-DHIPBLAS_V1`` and use the new in-place and out-of-place trmm functions.
Note that there are no deprecation warnings for the hipBLAS Fortran API.
The Legacy BLAS in-place trmm calculates ``B <- alpha * op(A) * B``. Matrix B is overwritten by
triangular matrix A multiplied by matrix B. The prototype in the include file ``rocblas-functions.h`` is:
::
hipblasStatus_t hipblasStrmm(hipblasHandle_t handle,
hipblasSideMode_t side,
hipblasFillMode_t uplo,
hipblasOperation_t transA,
hipblasDiagType_t diag,
int m,
int n,
const float* alpha,
const float* AP,
int lda,
float* BP,
int ldb);
The above is replaced by an in-place and out-of-place trmm that calculates ``C <- alpha * op(A) * B``. The prototype is:
::
hipblasStatus_t hipblasStrmmOutofplace(hipblasHandle_t handle,
hipblasSideMode_t side,
hipblasFillMode_t uplo,
hipblasOperation_t transA,
hipblasDiagType_t diag,
int m,
int n,
const float* alpha,
const float* AP,
int lda,
const float* BP,
int ldb,
float* CP,
int ldc);
The new API provides the legacy BLAS in-place functionality if you set pointer ``C`` equal to pointer ``B`` and
``ldc`` equal to ``ldb``.
There are similar deprecations for the ``_batched`` and ``_strided_batched`` versions of trmm.
Removed in hipBLAS 1.0
**********************
HIPBLAS_INT8_DATATYPE_PACK_INT8x4 hipblasGemmEx support removed
===============================================================
Packed int8x4 is removed as support for arbitrary dimensioned ``int8_t data`` is a superset of this functionality:
* enum ``hipblasInt8Datatype_t`` is removed
* function ``hipblasSetInt8Datatype`` is removed
* function ``hipblasGetInt8Datatype`` is removed
Announced in hipBLAS 0.53
*************************
packed_int8x4 datatype will be removed
======================================
The ``packed_int8x4`` datatype will be removed in hipBLAS 1.0. There are two ``int8`` datatypes:
* ``int8_t``
* ``packed_int8x4``
``int8_t`` is the C99 unsigned 8-bit integer. ``packed_int8x4`` has 4 consecutive ``int8_t`` numbers
in the k dimension packed into 32 bits. ``packed_int8x4`` is only used in ``hipblasGemmEx``.
``int8_t`` will continue to be available in ``hipblasGemmEx``.
Announced in hipBLAS 0.49
*************************
Inplace hipblasXtrmm will be replaced with out-of-place hipblasXtrmm
====================================================================
The ``hipblasXtrmm`` API, along with batched versions, will be changing in hipBLAS 1.0
release to allow in-place and out-of-place behavior. This change will introduce an
output matrix ``C``, matching the ``rocblas_xtrmm_outofplace`` API and the ``cublasXtrmm`` API.
