AMD Core Math Library

AMD Core Math Library (ACML) is a software development library released by AMD. This library provides useful mathematical routines optimized for AMD processors. Originally developed in 2002 for use in HPC (high-performance computing) scientific computing, ACML allows nearly optimal use of AMD Opteron processors in compute-intensive applications.

Features

* A full implementation of Level 1, 2 and 3 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS), with key routines optimized for high performance on AMD Opteron processors.
* A full suite of Linear Algebra (LAPACK) routines. As well as taking advantage of the highly-tuned BLAS kernels, a key set of LAPACK routines has been further optimized to achieve considerably higher performance than standard LAPACK implementations.
* A comprehensive suite of Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) in both single-, double-, single-complex and double-complex data types.
* Fast scalar, vector, and array math transcendental library routines optimized for high performance on AMD Opteron processors.
* Random Number Generators in both single- and double-precision.
