Libraries
Abstract
While supercomputing applications are used in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, they often share key computational algorithms with one another. As a result, many software libraries have been developed for high performance computing (HPC) so application developers can leverage and reuse existing performance-tuned software. Apart from being a repository for software reuse, libraries serve the important role of providing a knowledge base for specific computational science domains. These libraries become community standards and serve as ways for members of the community to communicate with one another. This chapter explores a variety of widely used HPC libraries, with an emphasis on two of the most fundamental and ...
