Overview

AMD Core Math Library (ACML) is software development library released by AMD. This library provides useful mathematical routines optimized for AMD processors. Originally developed in 2002 for use in HPC (high-performance computing) scientific computing, ACML allows nearly optimal use of AMD Opteron™ processors in compute-intensive applications.

Features

ACML consists of the following main components: [1]

  • A full implementation of Level 1, 2 and 3 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS), with key routines optimized for high performance on AMD Opteron processors.
  • A full suite of Linear Algebra (LAPACK) routines. As well as taking advantage of the highly-tuned BLAS kernels, a key set of LAPACK routines has been further optimized to achieve considerably higher performance than standard LAPACK implementations.
  • A 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 Opteron processors.
  • Random Number Generators in both single- and double-precision.
