[ALPS-users] [ALPS} Using nvblas to boost calculations

[Michele Dolfi]

The MPS codes, as other ALPS applications, is linking to BLAS and LAPACK via the standard Fortran interface.

If the accelerated library that you want to use fulfill the interface, it could easily be swapped at compile time.
Similar experiences have already been done with the Cray libsci_acc library.


Best,
Michele
