Description

http://developer.amd.com/cpu/Libraries/acml/downloads/pages/default.aspx#docs

From a 5-second peek at the license it looks as if we could redistribute this library in binary
form; it seems to be free for commercial use as well, but this needs to be confirmed.

Peeked at ACML. It does come with blas in single and double precision – very much like the library we use. I'm fairly sure it would be possible to use it, BUT:

  • all the API is in column-major data order, while what we have seems to use row major order,
  • the library for 64-bit systems is, wait for it, 27MB large (there are other DLLs in the lib/ folder, but this one is I think crucial).
