How To Install libmagma-sparse2 on Ubuntu 22.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libmagma-sparse2
on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is libmagma-sparse2
libmagma-sparse2 is:
The MAGMA project aims to develop a dense linear algebra library similar to LAPACK but for heterogeneous/hybrid architectures, starting with current “Multicore+GPU” systems.
The MAGMA research is based on the idea that, to address the complex challenges of the emerging hybrid environments, optimal software solutions will themselves have to hybridize, combining the strengths of different algorithms within a single framework. Building on this idea, we aim to design linear algebra algorithms and frameworks for hybrid manycore and GPU systems that can enable applications to fully exploit the power that each of the hybrid components offers.
This package contains the shared object libmagma_sparse.so.2
