Using the high performance libraries
XL C/C++ and XL Fortran Advanced Edition for Blue Gene are shipped with a set of libraries for high-performance mathematical
computing:
- The Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) is a set of libraries of
tuned mathematical intrinsic functions that provide improved performance over
the corresponding standard system math library functions. MASS is described
in Using the Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS).
Note:
In this discussion, rather than repeating the phrase XL C/C++ function(s)
or XL Fortran routine(s), the term function(s) is used to denote a XL C/C++ function(s) or XL Fortran routine(s)
as it applies within its respective contexts.
