This paper presents results of an implementation of code generator for fast general matrix multiply (GEMM) kernels. When a set of parameters is given, the code generator produces the corresponding GEMM kernel written in OpenCL. The produced kernels are optimized for high-performance implementation on GPUs from AMD. Access latencies to GPU global memory is the main drawback for high performance. This study shows that storing matrix data in a block-major layout increases the performance and stability of GEMM kernels. On the Tahiti GPU (Radeon HD 7970), our DGEMM (double-precision GEMM) and SGEMM (single-precision GEMM) kernels achieve the performance up to 848 GFlop/s (90% of the peak) and 2646 GFlop/s (70%), respectively.
