Name: AMD Core Math Library

Version: 4.1.0

Description:

The AMD Core Math Library (ACML) is a collection of frequently-used mathematical routines which have been optimized for AMD Opteron processors. ACML includes full implementations of BLAS (Levels 1-3) and LAPACK, as well a suite of FFTs, random number generators, and tuned and vectorized transcendental functions (sines, cosines, logarithms, and exponentials). ACML is available in several versions: serial or threaded, 32-bit or 64-bit, with 4-byte or 8-byte integers, for use with either PGI or GNU compilers.

Availability: Linux/x86

Installation Path:

/usr/local/acml-4.1.0

Environment Configuration:

module load acml/4.1.0/[gcc,pgi]
module load acml-mp/4.1.0/[gcc,pgi]
module load acml-int64/4.1.0/[gcc,pgi]
module load acml-mp-int64/4.1.0/[gcc,pgi]

Usage Notes:

The selection of 32-bit vs. 64-bit libraries is determined by the instruction set architecture (ISA) specified in the user's environment via the "isa" module.

Certain libraries and routines are available only in 64-bit versions, including the optimized and vectorized transcendental functions and the 8-byte integer libraries. Consult the ACML documentation for details.
