2023-03-14  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@free.fr>

	* Makefile.am, SFMT.c(+), SFMT.h(+), SFMT-common.h(+),
	SFMT-params.h(+), SFMT-params19937.h(+), mt19937ar.c(-),
	mt19937ar.h(-): replace the original Mersenne Twister RNG by the
	improved SFMT version.

2021-10-06  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@free.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c, mm_malloc.h(-) Makefile.am, ../configura.ac:
	Modify preferred choices for aligned memory allocation. Try
	posix_memalign(), then _aligned_malloc(), then a system/compiler
	_mm_malloc() ; don't provide the latter any more.

2018-05-12  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* simd.h, neuralnetsse.c, neuralnet.c, inputs.c: Add ARM NEON
	instructions support.

2016-01-03  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c: Use FMA3 instructions in a few places if
	available and enabled. The speed gain is modest.

2014-10-12  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c: Use knowledge of the limited range of possible
	values for base inputs to accelerate neural networks computations.

2014-10-05  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* cache.c: Use MurmurHash3 for evaluations cache addressing
	instead of the current hashing function. Key computation is faster
	and hit rate (very slightly) better.

2013-06-22  Michael Petch  <mpetch@gnubg.org>

	* ChangeLog, Makefile.am, inputs.c, neuralnet.c, neuralnet.h,
	neuralnetsse.c, +simd.h, -sse.h. Rename sse.h to simd.h. Rename
	USE_SSE_VECTORIZE to USE_SIMD_INSTRUCTIONS, rename SSE_Supported
	to SIMD_Supported, rename DISABLE_SSE_TEST to DISABLE_SIMD_TEST,
	rename SSE_CFLAGS to SIMD_CFLAGS, rename file sse.h to simd.h

	Make sse/simd usage more consistent

2013-06-15  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c, sse.h, inputs.c, ../configure.ac: Use AVX
	instructions when built with "configure --enable-simd=avx"

2013-04-15  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* cache.c, cache.h, ../eval.c: Use 32 bits variables for keys
	instead of long integers. This is what the hashing functions,
	taken from an external source, expect.

2011-12-31  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c: Fixes error in sigmoid approximation. In
	addition, uses reciprocal instead of division only if compiled
	with -ffast-math to keep output identical to non-SSE code.

2011-07-14  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* cache.c, cache.h: On Intel CPUs, use Gcc builtins for locking
	instead of Glib atomic ops. The latter don't work (on RHEL 6) with
	more than 20-25 cores. Gcc builtins seem fine up to 48 at least
	and bring a small speed improvement in all cases.

2011-05-13  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* inputs.c (new file), Makefile.am: baseInputs() computation using
	SSE.

2011-04-19  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnet.c, neuralnetsse.c: Reorder frequent tests to put the
	most likely branch first.

2011-03-22  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnet.c, neuralnet.h : Remove unused NeuralNetResize(),
	simplify NeuralNetCreate(). Use of untrained nets has been removed
	for some time.

2011-02-08  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnetsse.c, neuralnet.h : ystein Johansen's patch to handle
	a different number of hidden nodes with SSE.

2010-10-29  Philippe Michel  <philippe.michel7@sfr.fr>

	* neuralnet.c: On FreeBSD, check sse from sysctl
	Picked from FreeBSD port patches.

Tue Feb 20 21:25:01 GMT 2007  Jim Segrave <jes@j-e-s.net>

	* neuralnet.c: skip sse check if __x86_64 is defined

Fri Apr 29 21:16:41 CEST 2004  Jon Kinsey

	* neuralnetsse.c: Split out SSE code to separate file

	New functions for vectorized evaluation of neural networks
	with 128 hidden	nodes.

	* mt19937ar.c (init_genrand): add mti as parameter to init_genrand.

Thu Apr 22 21:14:32 CEST 2004  Joern Thyssen  <jth@gnubg.org>

	* mt19937int.[ch]: replaced by mt19937ar.[ch]
	* mt19937ar.[ch]: upgrade Mersenne-Twister from
	<URL:http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/matumoto/emt.html>.

Thu Dec 18 23:35:48 2003  Joern Thyssen  <jth@gnubg.org>

	* neuralnet.c: implement Olivier Baur's faster sigmoid
	(note that it should probably not be used until the net
	has been retrained)
	* neuralnet.c (Evaluate, EvaluateFromBase): implement
	net propagation as matrix x vector using BLAS from ATLAS.

Fri Jan 10 19:13:15 2003  Joern Thyssen  <jth@gnubg.org>

	* hash.h: enlage cache to hold cubeful equities as well

	example in the manual more closely.

Mon Jul 29 13:15:22 2002  Gary Wong  <gtw@gnu.org>

	* mt19937int.c (sgenrand): Upgrade to Makoto Matsumoto's
	latest initialisation code.  Reported by Eli
	Liang <elientzeliang@hotmail.com>.

Thu Jul  4 18:50:27 2002  Jrn Thyssen  <jthyssen@dk.ibm.com>

	* hash.c (CacheStat): only assign parameters if not NULL.

Wed Jul  3 13:56:25 2002  Joseph Heled  <pepster@users.sourceforge.net>

	* New cache code. Faster, and higher hit %. You can revert by
	compiling with '-DGARY_CACHE'
