Subject: FlexiBLAS Version 1.3.0 Release
It is our pleasure to announce the new release of FlexiBLAS. We do not
provide yet another BLAS implementation in itself, but rather present
an easy to use method for switching between different BLAS
implementations while debugging or benchmarking other codes.
Highlights since the release of the initial version (v1.0.0) are:
- support for BLAS-like extensions known from OpenBLAS and Intel MKL,
- switch the BLAS backend at program runtime,
- integration in GNU Octave,
- and a redesigned command line tool to manage the configuration.
Feel free to check the current version at
http://www.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/projects/flexiblas/
and drop us a line if you have any comments or requests about it.
Further information on the realization can be found in LAWN 284
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawnspdf/lawn284.pdf
or updated version of the Manuscript (coming soon) available from the
project web page.
The library is available under GPLv3. We have tested it in production
environments on several platforms and hope you will find it useful for
your research, as well.
Martin K??hler and Jens Saak
