AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries (AOCL)
AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries (AOCL) are a set of numerical libraries optimized for AMD “Zen”-based processors, including EPYC, Ryzen Threadripper PRO, and Ryzen.
AOCL is comprised of the following eight libraries: - BLIS (BLAS Library) - libFLAME (LAPACK) - AMD-FFTW - LibM (AMD Core Math Library) - ScaLAPACK - AMD Random Number Generator (RNG) - AMD Secure RNG - AOCL-Sparse
Important
The cray-libsci module is loaded by default for all users and this module
also contains definitions of BLAS, LAPACK and ScaLAPACK routines that conflict
with those in AOCL. The aocl module automatically unloads cray-libsci.
Compiling with AOCL
Tip
AOCL is currently unavailable for the Cray programming environments (PrgEnv-cray).
This is untested and currently unsupported on ARCHER2.
GNU Programming Environment
module load PrgEnv-gnu
module load aocl
AOCC Programming Environment
AOCL is only available with aocc/3.0.0.
module load PrgEnv-aocc
module swap aocc/2.2.0.1 aocc/3.0.0
module load aocl
