Interface with BLAS, LAPACK or ATLASΒΆ

For better performance on dense matrices, it is possible to interface some operations of the type gmm::dense_matrix<T> with LAPACK (http://www.netlib.org/lapack/) or ATLAS (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/), for T = float, double, std::complex<float> or std::complex<double>. In fact, concerning ATLAS no specific interface has been made untill now, so the fortran interface of ATLAS should be used.

to use this interface you have first to define GMM_USES_LAPACK before including Gmm++ files:

\#define GMM_USES_LAPACK
\#include <gmm/gmm.h>

... your code

or specify -DGMM_USES_LAPACK on the command line of your compiler. Of course, you have also to link LAPACK or ATLAS libraries. For example on a standard linux configuration and g++ compiler the adding libraries to link LAPACK are:

g++ ...  -llapack -lblas -lgfortanbegin -lgfortran

and to link ATLAS:

g++ ... /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.a /usr/lib/atlas/libblas.a -latlas -lgfortranbegin -lgfortran

The library libgfortranbegin and libgfortran are specific to g++ compiler and may vary for other compilers.

Ask your system administrator if this configuration does not work.

The following operations are interfaced:

vect_norm2(std::vector<T>)

vect_sp(std::vector<T>, std::vector<T>)
vect_sp(scaled(std::vector<T>), std::vector<T>)
vect_sp(std::vector<T>, scaled(std::vector<T>))

Of course, it is not difficult to interface another operation if needed.

The following interface does not correspond to an algorithm existing in Gmm++:

The interface to gesvd (singular value decomposition):

svd(dense_matrix<T> &X, dense_matrix<T> &U,
    dense_matrix<T> &Vt, std::vector<T> sigma);
svd(dense_matrix<std::complex<T> > &X, dense_matrix<std::complex<T> > &U,
    dense_matrix<std::complex<T> > &Vt, std::vector<T> sigma);
