LASs


LASs (Linear Algebra routines on OmpSs) is a novel open-source library for linear algebra operations developed at BSC. It includes BLAS-3, LAPACK and other (sparse and iterative) linear algebra kernels widely used by the scientific community. LASs makes use of the features provided by OmpSs-2 runtime in order to parallelize linear algebra kernels aiming to attain high performance especially on HPC systems.

The current version of LASs includes the following linear algebra routines:

  • BLAS 3: dgemm, dsymm, dsyrk, dsyr2k, dtrmm, and dtrsm.
  • LAPACK: dnpgetrf (no-pivoting LU), dnpgetrs, dtpgetrf (tiled-pivoting LU), dtpgetrf, dpotrf (Cholesky factorization), and dpotrs.
