In this tutorial we learn how to install libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels12 on Ubuntu 20.04. libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels12 is Kokkos local computational kernels - runtime files

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels12 on Ubuntu 20.04.

What is libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels12

libtrilinos-kokkos-kernels12 is:

KokkosKernels implements local computational kernels for linear algebra and graph operations, using the Kokkos shared-memory parallel programming model. “Local” means not using MPI, or running within a single MPI process without knowing about MPI. “Computational kernels” are coarse-grained operations; they take a lot of work and make sense to parallelize inside using Kokkos. KokkosKernels can be the building block of a parallel linear algebra library like Tpetra that uses MPI and threads for parallelism, or it can be used stand-alone in your application.

This package contains the dynamic libraries.
