Make CPU architecture configurable #1

Open arporter opened 8 years ago

arporter commented 8 years ago

Although CPU microarchitecture details are pulled out of a file, this is currently hard-wired to be config_ivy_bridge.py. Since this microarchitecture has no FMA support (and thus no cost associated with an FMA) this causes problems if the user attempts to have the code generate FMAs. Currently two tests are set to xfail because of this limitation.

We need to build upon the existing functionality to make the choice of micro-architecture configurable by the user.

Created new branch configurable_microarch for this work.
