4.9) Numerical Libraries: BLAS/LAPACK (cont'd)
There are several highly optimised implementations of the standard BLAS/LAPACK libraries available on ARC2 and are organised in modules. These implementations have been optimised by the vendors to take advantage of specific features of the underlying hardware. The currently available modules are listed below.
| Module Name | Description/Link |
| mkl/11.0u5 | Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) |
| atlas/3.10.1 | Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (ATLAS) |
| acml/5.3.1 | AMD Core Maths Libraries (ACML) |
These module are loaded in the usual way, e.g.:
$ module add mkl
And to switch modules:
$ module switch mkl atlas
