What's new in LAPACK 3.4.0

Dec 9, 2011
  • This version adds xGEQRT, a QR factorization facility that enables better performance when the blocked reflectors need to be reused.
  • It adds xGEQRT3, a recursive QR factorization facility that has high performance on tall and skinny matrices.
  • It adds xTPQRT, a collection of Communication-Avoiding QR sequential kernels.
  • It replaces the build system with CMAKE for better portability.
  • It adds Doxygen documentation.
  • It integrates LAPACKE's C language APIs into LAPACK.
