Sun Performance Library is a set of optimized, high-speed mathematical subroutines for solving linear algebra and other numerically intensive problems. Sun Performance Library is based on a collection of public domain applications available from Netlib (http://www.netlib.org). These public domain applications have been enhanced and optimized for Sun high-performance platforms.
The Sun Performance Library contains enhanced versions of the following standard libraries:
LAPACK version 3.0 - For solving linear algebra problems.
BLAS1 (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) - For performing vector-vector operations.
BLAS2 - For performing matrix-vector operations.
BLAS3 - For performing matrix-matrix operations.
Signal Processing - For performing
1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional fast Fourier transforms, real and complex, convolution and correlation
Sparse Computation - Sparse linear algebra functions based on Sparse BLAS, SPSOLVE, and SuperLU.
Interval Linear Algebra - Based on Interval BLAS for performing basic linear algebra with interval components.
Sorting - For sorting and permuting vectors of numbers.
