Software Efforts

The members of the HPCA group have been mainly involved in the development of parallel routines and, sometimes, extense parallel libraries mainly for numerical linear algebra and the solution of control problems. As a result we can offer a variety of software packages. Some of this software is also offered as part of public libraries as LAPACK and libFLAME, and licensed libraries as SLICOT.

Ongoing software efforts

FLAME: Formal Linear Algebra Method Environment

High performance linear algebra libraries for current desktop processors, multicore architectures, and SMP platforms. This is a collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin.

ParILUPACK

Parallel preconditioning based on the incomplete LU factorization for multicore processors. This is a collaboration with TU-Braunschweig.

  • Please contact mvaya@uji.es to learn more about this effort.

MAGMA-sparse

MAGMA-sparse is a library for the solution of sparse linear systems via iterative methods on GPUs. It is developed in collaboration with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and ICL-Tennessee.

The GLT Library

Generic Lightweight Thread (GLT) is a common API that joins all the functionality offered by several lightweight thread solutions.

HLib2+OmpSs

HLib2+OmpSs is a task-parallel version of the HLib2 libraries for dense linear algebra operations on hierarchical matrices. This is a collaboration with the University of Kiel and Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

HPG-Aligner

HPG-Aligner is a parallel pipeline for RNA and DNA sequencing on clusters of multicore processors.

Past software efforts
