Introduction to ACML

AMD Core Mathematics Library (ACML) contains

  • Full implementation of ATLAS, with key routines optimized for high performance on AMD processors.
  • Full suite of LAPACK routines optimized to achieve considerably higher performance than standard LAPACK implementations.
  • Comprehensive suite of Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) in both single-, double-, single-complex and double-complex data types.
  • Fast scalar, vector, and array math transcendental library routines optimized for high performance on AMD processors.
  • Random Number Generators in both single- and double-precision.

To obtain the ACML, you will be required to register with AMD and be at least 14-years old. The packages compiled with gfortran provide libraries optimized for single- and multi-processor machines.

Note

The ACML license does not allow redistribution without written consent from AMD.

Other vendors also provide ATLAS and LAPACK libraries optimized for their processor.

Apple's Velocity Engine
Hewlett-Packard's Mathematical Software Library (MLIB) Free registration required.
IBM's Engineering Scientific Subroutine Library (ESSL)
Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) $399 US.
SGI's Scientific Computing Software Library (SCSL) Free registration required.
Sun's Sun Performance Library; Free to registered SDN members.

Non-Multilib or Multilib

Create a directory to download and unpack the tarballs. 

  mkdir acml &&
  cd acml

After retrieving and unpacking the tarballs, install each in turn: 

  ./install-<package>.sh

where <package> is acml-3.6.1-gfortran-32bit, acml-3.6.1-gfortran-64bit, acml-3.6.1-gnu-32bit, or acml-3.6.1-gnu-64bit.

You will be required to accept the licensing agreement after which you will be prompted for a top level installation directory. The default is /opt/acml3.6.1. Each package will install its headers and libraries in separate subdirectories of the top level directory.

Move the documentation to a standard location: 

   install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/acml-3.6.1 && 
   install -v -m644 ACML-EULA.txt README.64-bit /usr/share/doc/acml-3.6.1 &&
