Sun Studio Libraries

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.

• Sun Performance Library User`s Guide
  Explains the Sun-specific enhancements to the base applications available from Netlib. Reference material describing the base routines is available from Netlib and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). (November, 2005)


• Sun Performance Library Reference Manual
  This manual reproduces the section 3P man pages, and provides detailed synopses of all the routines in the library. (November, 2005)
