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 &&
mv -v /opt/acml3.6.1/{*.txt,ReleaseNote*} /usr/share/doc/acml-3.6.1 &&
mv -v /opt/acml3.6.1/Doc/*.{pdf,txt,inf*} /usr/share/doc/acml-3.6.1 &&
mv -v /opt/acml3.6.1/Doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/acml-3.6.1
