Mathematical library for clusters resulting from American-Russian collaborationSarov 04 Oct 99The firrst release of PMLP for Windows NT includes source and object of a comprehensive mathematical library effort for sparse linear algebra, and other solvers. It includes both sequential and parallel linear algebra. This unique project is the product of many years of joint work between MSU, VNIIEF, Intel, and LLNL, in which MSU and VNIIEF have designed and developed these libraries for IA workstations, with obvious portability to other environments. The developers look forward to users trying this software on NT clusters, and later on other systems. It strongly supports C++ users now, and has basic C and Fortran bindings. Better C and Fortran interfaces will be offered by end of year. This library uses modern compilation-based techniques in C++, as well as traditional C++ techniques to deliver flexibility and performance over a wide range of data storage formats, precisions, and operations. PMLP is funded primarily by the United States Industrial Coalition through the United States Department of Energy. Additional funding is also provided by Intel Corporation and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory funded by the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention Program, which is in the United States Department of Energy Office of Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
