Using HP MLIB

The information in this section describes how to use HP MLIB Version 1.5 in the HP XC environment on HP XC4000 and HP XC6000 clusters. These are discussed in separate sections in this chapter.

9.1 Overview

HP MLIB is the mathematical library supported on the HP XC system. It is installed by default.

HP MLIB contains mathematical software and computational kernels for engineering and scientific applications including the following:

Linear equations

Least squares

Eigenvalue problems

Singular value decomposition

Vector and matrix computations

Convolutions

Fourier Transforms

HP MLIB V1.5 for XC6000 supports 64-bit addressing and 64-bit address libraries with all integer values using 64 bits on XC6000 clusters.

HP MLIB for the HP XC4000 platform supports VECLIB, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, SuperLU_DIST, and MPI parallelism. This release does not support quad precision sparse solver functionality on PGI/X86-64.

HP MLIB Version 1.5 is optimized for use on HP XC systems. HP MLIB Version 1.5 supports 64-bit addressing on XC6000 and XC4000 clusters.

9.1.1 Intel Compiler Notes

HP MLIB requires the Intel Fortran Compiler; the following provides information on Versions

8 and 7.1:

Version 8 Fortran Compiler

Command path name:

RPM:

tar file:

/opt/mlib/intel_8.0/hpmpi_2.0 intel-ifort8-8.0-57.ia64.rpm l_fc_pc_8[1].0.046.tar.gz

Version 7 Fortran Compiler

 

Command path name:

/opt/mlib/intel_7.1/hpmpi_2.0

RPM:

intel-efc7-7.1-41.ia64.rpm

tar file:

l_fc_pc_7[1].1.040.tar

After installation, MLIB directory information is located in the /opt/mlib/README file.
