Introduction to ATLAS

BLAS are Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms written in Fortran. There are Level 1 (scalar and vector operations), Level 2 (scalar-matrix operations) and Level 3 (matrix-matrix operations) subprograms. ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) will provide C and FORTRAN interfaces to a BLAS implementation optimized for a specific machine architecture. The ideal source of BLAS and LAPACK libraries are those provided by the microprocesor vendor such as AMD's ACML. However, these are not provided under a license that allows re-distribution without written consent from the vendor.

Configuration Information

Patch the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../atlas-3.8.0-decl-fix-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../atlas-3.8.0-shared-libs-1.patch

Create a wrapper script to assist in building the shared libraries:

export BUILD_DIR=CBLFS-build &&
mkdir -pv ${BUILD_DIR} &&
cd ${BUILD_DIR}

cat > war << "EOF"
#! /bin/bash
#
# war -- wrapper for the archiver
#
# Executed by ATLAS build as:
# full_path/war ARCHIVER ARFLAGS LIBNAME.a OBJS.lo

TOPDIR=$(echo $0 | sed 's/\(.*\)\/.*/\1/')
PWD=$(pwd)

ARCHIVER=$1
LIBRARY=$(echo $3 | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\)/\1/')
OBJ_DIR=${TOPDIR}/CBLFS/$LIBRARY

if [ ! -x $OBJ_DIR ]; then mkdir -p ${OBJ_DIR}/.libs; fi

$ARCHIVER $@

shift 3
for obj in $@ ; do
    lobj=$(echo $obj | sed 's/\.o/\.lo/')
    ln -sf ${PWD}/$obj ${OBJ_DIR}/$obj
    ln -sf ${PWD}/$lobj ${OBJ_DIR}/$lobj
    ln -sf ${PWD}/.libs/$obj ${OBJ_DIR}/.libs/$obj
done
EOF

Make the script executable:

chmod a+x war

Non-Multilib

Note

Either create a BUILD variable similar to the multiarch BUILD32, BUILDN32, and BUILD64 with compiler options or replace ${BUILD} in the configure flags below with your compiler options directly.

Note

Replace the <BITS> in the configure command below with 32 or 64 as appropriate for your non-multilib architecture.

Note

On some systems the make step fails. If this happens to you, try

sed -i "/RANLIB/s/echo/ranlib/" Make.inc

after running configure, but before running make.

Compile the package:

../configure --cc=gcc --cflags="${BUILD}" --prefix=/usr --incdir=/usr/include/atlas \
-C ac gcc -F ac "${BUILD}" -C if gfortran -F if "${BUILD}" -Ss pmake "\make -j3" \
-Si cputhrchk 0 -b <BITS> &&
make &&
export RPATH=/usr/lib/blas/atlas &&
make LIBDIR=/usr/lib RPATH="${RPATH}" shared

Timing tests are critical for optimizing the performance of the libraries for your machine. Do not skip the tests.

for i in F77 C; do
   cd interfaces/blas/${i}/testing
   make sanity_test
   if [[ -d CBLFS/libptf77blas.a ]]; then
     make ptsanity_test
   fi
done
cd ../../../../
make time
