LibSci

Category: Libraries-Math

Description

Cray XT-LibSci is a collection of single-processor and parallel numerical routines tuned for performance on Cray XT series systems. Cray XT-LibSci is included in the Cray XT programming environment. Generally speaking, it is suggested that users of the Cray XT systems call LibSci routines in your application instead of public domain or user-written versions.

Cray XT-LibSci also contains the Iterative Refinement Toolkit (IRT), which is a library of solvers and tools that provides solutions to linear systems using single-precision factorizations while preserving accuracy through mixed-precision iterative refinement.

Cray XT LibSci includes:

There are man pages for intro_blas1, intro_blas2, intro_blas3, intro_irt. And there is the "Cray XT Series Programming Environment User's Guide" at the Cray Docs website.

Use

libsci is automatically linked against by the Cray compiler wrappers: cc, CC, and ftn.
