Real +arithmetic and complex arithmetic are supported in both single +precision and double precision. + + Chameleon is based on the PLASMA source code but is not limited +to shared-memory environment and can exploit multiple GPUs. +Chameleon is interfaced in a generic way with StarPU, PaRSEC, +QUARK, OpenMP runtime systems. This feature allows to analyze in +a unified framework how sequential task-based algorithms behave +regarding different runtime systems implementations. Using Chameleon +with StarPU or PaRSEC runtime systems allows to exploit GPUs through +kernels provided by cuBLAS and clusters of interconnected nodes with +distributed memory (using MPI). + + +The default scheduler is set to OpenMP, if you want to use the StarPU +you should set the environment variable STARPU=yes and install StarPU. + +For enabling MPI set the environment variable MPI=yes, this require +a MPI implementation (openmpi or mpich). |
