This directory contains the PSBLAS library, version 3.5.

|
|
The architecture of the Fortran 2003 sparse BLAS is described in
|
|
S. Filippone, A. Buttari:
|
|
Object-Oriented Techniques for Sparse Matrix Computations in Fortran
|
|
2003,
|
|
ACM Trans. on Math. Software, vol. 38, No. 4, 2012.
|
|
|
|
The ideas are explored further with the paper:
|
|
|
|
V. Cardellini, S. Filippone and D. Rouson
|
|
Design Patterns for sparse-matrix computations on
|
|
hybrid CPU/GPU platforms,
|
|
Scientific Programming, 22(2014), pp.1-19.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0 of the library was described in:

OTHER SOFTWARE CREDITS
|
|
|
|
We originally included a modified implementation of some of the
|
|
Sparker (serial sparse BLAS) material; this has been completely
|
|
rewritten, way beyond the intention(s) and responsibilities of the
|
|
original developers.
|
|
The main reference for the serial sparse BLAS is:
|
|
Duff, I., Marrone, M., Radicati, G., and Vittoli, C.

INSTALLING
|
|
|
|
To compile and run our software you will need the following
|
|
prerequisites (see also SERIAL below):
|
|
|
|
1. A working version of MPI
|
|
|
|
2. A version of the BLAS; if you don't have a specific version for
|
|
your platform you may try ATLAS available from
|
|
http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
3. We have had good results with the METIS library, from
|
|
http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis/metis/main.html
|
|
This is optional; it is used in the util and test/fileread
|
|
directories but only if you specify --with-metis.
|
|
|
|
4. If you have the AMD package of Davis, Duff and Amestoy, you can
|
|
specify --with-amd (see ./configure --help for more details).
|
|
|
|
The configure script will generate a Make.inc file suitable for
|
|
building the library.
|
|
The script is capable of recognizing the needed libraries with their
|
|
default names; if they are in unusual places consider adding the paths
|
|
with --with-libs, or explicitly specifying the names in --with-blas, etc.
|
|
Please note that a common way for the configure script to fail is to
|
|
specify inconsistent MPI vs. plain compilers, either directly or
|
|
indirectly via environment variables; e.g. specifying the Intel
|
|
compiler with FC=ifort while at the same time having an MPIFC=mpif90
|
|
which points to GNU Fortran.
|
|
The best way to avoid this situation is (in our opinion) to use the
|
|
environment modules package (see http://modules.sourceforge.net/), and
|
|
load the relevant variables with (e.g.)
|
|
module load gnu46 openmpi
|
|
This will delegate to the modules setup to make sure that the version
|
|
of openmpi in use is the one compiled with the gnu46 compilers.
|
|
After the configure script has completed you can always tweak the
|
|
Make.inc file yourself.
|
|
|
|
After you have Make.inc fixed, run
|
|
make
|
|
to compile the library; go to the test directory and its
|
|
subdirectories to get test programs done.
|
|
If you specify --prefix=/path you can do make install and the
|
|
libraries will be installed under /path/lib, while the module files
|
|
will be installed under /path/include.
|
|
|
|
SERIAL
|
|
|
|
Configuring with --enable-serial will provide a fake MPI stub library
|
|
that enables running in pure serial mode; no MPI installation is
|
|
needed in this case (but note that the fake MPI stubs are only
|
|
guaranteed to cover what we use internally, it's not a complete
|
|
replacement).
|
|
|
|
LONG INTEGERS
|
|
|
|
We have an experimental flag --enable-long-integers that will enable having
|
|
8-byte integer data, allowing an index space larger than 2G; some
|
|
small cases have been tested but we do not offer full guarantee (yet).
