PLASMA 2.5.0b1 has been released and contains new algorithms to compute condition estimators for general and positive definite cases.

PLASMA 2.4.6 has been released and contains new algorithms to compute eigenvectors in symmetric/hermitian cases as well as in generalized problems.

PLASMA 2.4.5 has been released.

This package contains:

• Add  LU  inversion functions: PLASMA_zgetri, PLASMA_zgetri_Tile and PLASMA_zgetri_Tile_Async using   the   recursive  parallel  panel implementation of LU factorization.
• The  householder  reduction  trees for QR and LQ factorizations can now  work on general cases and not only on matrices with M multiple of MB.
• Matrices  generation  has been changed in every timing, testing and example  files to use a parallel initialization generating a better distribution  of  the data on the architecture, especially for Tile interface. “numactl” is not required anymore.
• Timing  routines  can  now generate DAGs with the --dag option, and traces with --trace option if EZTRACE is present.

All files are available for download in the Software section of the PLASMA site.

PLASMA 2.4.2 has been released.

This package contains:

• New version of quark removing active waiting and allowing user to bind tasks to set of cores.
• Installer: Fix compatibility issues between plasma-installer and PGI compiler reported on Kraken by A. Bouteiller.
• Fix one memory leak with Hwloc.
• Introduce a new kernel for the recursive LU operation on tile layout which reduces cache misses.
• Fix several bugs and introduce new features thanks to people from Fujitsu and NAG :
  • The new LU factorization with partial pivoting introduced in release 2.4 is now working on rectangular matrices.
  • Add missing functions to Fortran 77 interface.
  • Add a new Fortran 90 interface to all LAPACK and Tile interface. Asynchronous interface and mixed precision routines are not available yet.
  • Fix arguments order in header files to fit implementation.

All files are available for download in the Software section of the PLASMA site.

PLASMA 2.4.1 has been released.

This package contains two major bug fix:

• Fix bug with Fujitsu compiler reported on the forum
• Unbind threads in PLASMA_Finalize to avoid problem of binding in OpenMP section following PLASMA calls (still possible on Mac and AIX without hwloc). A better fix is to create the OpenMP thread in the user code before any call to PLASMA thanks to a fake parallel section.
