HREF="node25.html#blas1">18</A>] Many vendors provide optimized versions
|
|
|
|
|
of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms; if no vendor version is
|
|
|
|
|
available for a given platform, the ATLAS software
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/</code>)
|
|
|
|
|
may be employed. The reference BLAS from Netlib
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>http://www.netlib.org/blas</code>) are meant to define the standard
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour of the BLAS interface, so they are not optimized for any
|
|
|
|
|
particular plaftorm, and should only be used as a last
|
|
|
|
|
resort. Note that BLAS computations form a relatively small part of
|
|
|
|
|
the MLD2P4/PSBLAS computations; they are however critical when using
|
|
|
|
|
preconditioners based on the UMFPACK or SuperLU third party
|
|
|
|
|
libraries.

HREF="node25.html#PSBLASGUIDE">15</A>,<A

HREF="node25.html#psblas_00">16</A>] Parallel Sparse BLAS is
|
|
|
|

available from
|
|
|
|
|
<BR><code>http://www.ce.uniroma2.it/psblas</code>; version 2.3.1
|
|
|
|
|
(or later) is required. Indeed, all the prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
listed so far are also prerequisites of PSBLAS.
|
|
|
|
|
To build the MLD2P4 library it is necessary to get access to
|
|
|
|
|
the source PSBLAS directory employed to build the version under use; after
|
|
|
|
|
the MLD2P4 build process completes, only the compiled form of the
|
|
|
|
|
PSBLAS library is necessary to build user applications.

<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that the four previous libraries must have Fortran
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces compatible with MLD2P4;
|
|
|
|
|
usually this means that they should all be built with the same
|
|
|
|
|
compiler as MLD2P4.
