status dnnl::sgemm(
    char transa,
    char transb,
    dnnl_dim_t M,
    dnnl_dim_t N,
    dnnl_dim_t K,
    float alpha,

    const float* B,
    dnnl_dim_t ldb,
    float beta,
    float* C,
    dnnl_dim_t ldc
    )

Performs single-precision matrix-matrix multiply.

The operation is defined as:

C := alpha * op( A ) * op( B ) + beta * C

where

op( X ) = X or op( X ) = X**T,
alpha and beta are scalars, and
A, B, and C are matrices:
- op( A ) is an MxK matrix,
- op( B ) is an KxN matrix,
- C is an MxN matrix.

The matrices are assumed to be stored in row-major order (the elements in each of the matrix rows are contiguous in memory).

NOTE:

This API does not support XERBLA. Instead, unlike the standard BLAS functions, this one returns a dnnl_status_t value to allow error handling.

Parameters:

transa	Transposition flag for matrix A: ‘N’ or ‘n’ means A is not transposed, and ‘T’ or ‘t’ means that A is transposed.
transb	Transposition flag for matrix B: ‘N’ or ‘n’ means B is not transposed, and ‘T’ or ‘t’ means that B is transposed.
M	The M dimension.
N	The N dimension.
K	The K dimension.
alpha	The alpha parameter that is used to scale the product of matrices A and B.
A	A pointer to the A matrix data.
lda	The leading dimension for the matrix A.
B	A pointer to the B matrix data.
ldb	The leading dimension for the matrix B.
beta	The beta parameter that is used to scale the matrix C.
C	A pointer to the C matrix data.
ldc	The leading dimension for the matrix C.

Returns:

dnnl_success / dnnl::status::success on success and a status describing the error otherwise.

    float beta,
    int32_t* C,
    dnnl_dim_t ldc,
    const int32_t* co
    )

Performs integer matrix-matrix multiply on 8-bit unsigned matrix A, 8-bit signed matrix B, and 32-bit signed resulting matrix C.

The operation is defined as:

C := alpha * (op(A) - A_offset) * (op(B) - B_offset) + beta * C + C_offset

where

op( X ) = X or op( X ) = X**T,
alpha and beta are scalars, and
A, B, and C are matrices:
- op( A ) is an MxK matrix,
- op( B ) is an KxN matrix,
- C is an MxN matrix.
A_offset is an MxK matrix with every element equal the ao value,
B_offset is an KxN matrix with every element equal the bo value,
C_offset is an MxN matrix which is defined by the co array of size len :
- if offsetc = F : the len must be at least 1,
- if offsetc = C : the len must be at least max(1, m),
- if offsetc = R : the len must be at least max(1, n),

The matrices are assumed to be stored in row-major order (the elements in each of the matrix rows are contiguous in memory).

NOTE:

This API does not support XERBLA. Instead, unlike the standard BLAS functions, this one returns a dnnl_status_t value to allow error handling.

WARNING:

On some architectures saturation may happen during intermediate computations, which would lead to unexpected results. For more details, refer to Nuances of int8 Computations.
