3.9.8

Guys,

I have just released 3.9.8.  The main thing is a huge bug fix for machines
where the number of processors isn't a power of 2 (eg., Athlon X3 or
SiCortex MIPS machine).  On such systems, I failed to return the proper
number of processors to use when the general GEMM threading algorithm is
used, which usually means no threading is done!  

I didn't announce it, but I released 3.9.7 just a couple of days ago, and
it fixed a bug in tgemm that could cause seg faults when K is split.

So, if you are using the developer release on a parallel machine, I
highly recommend you install 3.9.8.

Cheers,
Clint

ATLAS 3.9.8 released 02/23/09, changes from 3.9.7
   * Fixed analagous problem in ATL_tsyrk as the 3.9.6 did for ATL_tgemm;
     however, tsyrk bug could not have been exercised by current decomposition.
   * Fixed bug in ATL_Xtgemm where ATL_thrdecompMM failed to return the
     number of processors on non-power-of-2 processor systems
   * Introduced some fixes & workarounds for SiCortex/MIPSICE9:
     - Changed default MIPSICE9 compiler back to gcc, since pathcc produces
       bad ATL_tsyrk when optimization is above -O1 (confirmed compiler error)
   * Added dependence on atlas_ptalias3.h in cblas interface Makefile.
ATLAS 3.9.7 released 02/20/09, changes from 3.9.6:
   * Fixed bug in ATL_tgemm that caused seg faults for some small-M tGEMMs
   * Added architectural defaults for K7323DNow (Athlon "classic")
