How To Install libmagma-test on Debian 12

Learn how to install libmagma-test on Debian 12 with this tutorial. libmagma-test is Matrix Algebra on GPU and Multicore Architectures (tests)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmagma-test on Debian 12.

What is libmagma-test

libmagma-test 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 test executables.
