B. About the Forte Developer 7 Sun Performance Library

This release of Sun Performance Library is available on the Solaris[tm] operating environment (SPARC[tm] Platform Edition) versions 7, 8, and 9.

Sun Performance Library is a set of optimized, high-speed mathematical subroutines for solving linear algebra and other numerically intensive problems. Sun Performance Library is based on a collection of public domain applications available from Netlib at http://www.netlib.org. Sun has enhanced these public domain applications and bundled them as the Sun Performance Library.

Sun Performance Library contains enhanced versions of the following standard libraries:

Sun Performance Library includes the following additional routines:

Compatibility

The LAPACK 3.0 routines in Sun Performance Library are compatible with the user routines from previous versions of LAPACK, including 1.x and 2.0, and with all routines in LAPACK 3.0. However, due to internal changes in LAPACK 3.0, compatibility with internal routines cannot be guaranteed.  Internal routines that might be incompatible are called auxiliary routines in the LAPACK source code available from Netlib. Some information on auxiliary routines is included in the LAPACK Users' Guide, available from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) at http://www.siam.org.

Because the user interfaces to the LAPACK auxiliary routines can change from release to release of LAPACK, the user interfaces to the LAPACK auxiliary routines in Sun Performance Library can change as well. Auxiliary routines compatible with LAPACK 3.0 are generally available for users to call; however, the auxiliary routines are not specifically documented, tested, or supported. Be aware that the user interfaces for the LAPACK auxiliary routines can change in future releases of Sun Performance Library, so that the user interfaces comply with the version of LAPACK supported by that version of the Sun Performance Library.

Documentation

The following Sun Performance Library documentation is available:

For additional reference information, see the LAPACK Users' Guide 3rd ed., by Anderson, E. and others, SIAM, 1999, which is available from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) or your local bookstore. The LAPACK Users' Guide is the official reference for the base LAPACK 3.0 routines available on Netlib and provides mathematical descriptions of the LAPACK 3.0 routines.

  1. New FFT Interfaces Supersede FFTPACK and VFFTPACK Routines

    This version of Sun Performance Library provides a new set of FFT interfaces that supersedes a subset of the FFTPACK and VFFTPACK routines provided in earlier Sun Performance Library releases. For information on using these routines, see the section 3p man pages. An overview of the new interface is documented in the fft man page in section 3p.

    The new FFT routines will be described in the final version of the Using Sun Performance Library User's Guide, which will be available with the final release of Forte Developer 7.

    The following table shows the mapping between the new FFT routines and the corresponding FFTPACK and VFFTPACK routines. (P) denotes FFT routines that are parallelized.

    See the section 3p man pages for information on using each routine.

    Reference information for the interval BLAS routines is also located in Appendix C of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum Standard, located at http://www.netlib.org/blas/blast-forum/.

    Important: Information in the section 3p man pages supersedes information in Appendix C.

    Users can access the interval BLAS routines in the library by doing one of the following:

    a. Use the -xia flag at link time to link with all the necessary libraries.
        For example,

        f95 -c -xia -dalign foo.f
        f95 -o foo -xia foo.o -lsuniperf

        or

        f95 -xia -dalign foo.f -lsuniperf

    b. Use -xlic_lib=suniperf.
        For example,

        f95 -c -xia -dalign foo.f
        f95 -o foo foo.o -xlic_lib=suniperf

     

  3. Sort and Permute Routines Added

    The following sort and permute routines have been added to this version of Sun Performance Library. For more information, see the section 3p man pages.

  7. Legacy so.2 and so.3 Libraries Not Included with Forte Developer 7 Sun Performance Library

    To reduce the size of the Sun Performance Library for Forte Developer 7, only the so.4 libraries have been included, and the legacy so.2 and so.3 libraries have been removed from this release.

    To maintain compatibility with applications that require the legacy so.2 and so.3 libraries, the FD7 packages will search for previous installations of the Sun Performance Library on the system and install symlinks to the location of the previously installed libraries. If no prior Sun Performance Library packages are found, the FD7 packages will install only the current so.4 libraries. To have symlinks to the legacy libraries, you will need to install the legacy packages before installing the FD7 Sun Performance Library packages.

    The legacy libraries for a particular version of Sun Performance Library are located on the Forte Developer product CD for that release. For example, the packages for the Forte Developer 6 update 2 release are located in /cdrom/cdrom0/products/packages.

    The shared libraries are contained in the following packages.

    Package Library
    SPROplms Sun Performance Library 32-bit (Shared/MT)
    SPROpls Sun Performance Library 32-bit (Shared)
    SPROplmsx Sun Performance Library 64-bit (Shared/MT)
    SPROplsx Sun Performance Library 64-bit (Shared)

    You can install one or more of the packages, based upon your needs.

    To install the packages use the pkgadd command. See the pkgadd man page for usage instructions.

    If the legacy libraries have not been installed before installing FD7 and you want the symlinks to the legacy libraries, you will need to do the following:

    1. Uninstall the FD7 Shared Performance Library packages
    2. Install the legacy shared packages
    3. Install the FD7 shared packages

 

D. Software Corrections

Documentation of Complex Scalar Values in Man Pages and sunperf.h Files for Sun Performance Library C Interfaces Corrected

Complex scalars in the Sun Performance Library C interfaces are passed by reference. However, the Sun Performance Library section 3p man pages and sunperf.h files for Forte Developer 6, Forte Developer 6 update 1, and Forte Developer 6 update 2 incorrectly showed complex scalars as being passed by value (4531571). Sun Performance Library man pages and the sunperf.h file now correctly show complex scalars as being passed by reference. For example, the man page for caxpy now shows the complex scalar alpha as being passed by reference.

    void caxpy(int n, complex *alpha, complex *x, int incx, complex *y, int incy);

The Sun Performance Library Reference Manual, a PDF document available on docs.sun.com, also incorrectly displays the complex scalars as being passed by value. The Sun Performance Library Reference Manual for Forte Developer 6, Forte Developer 6 update 1, and Forte Developer 6 update 2 will not be updated with the corrections. The version of the Sun Performance Library Reference Manual that will be released with the final version of Sun Performance Library for Forte Developer 7 will include the corrections.

 

E. Problems and Workarounds

This section discusses known software problems and possible workarounds for those problems. For updates, check Forte Developer Hot Product News at http://www.sun.com/forte/fcc/hotnews.html.

  1. Slow Link Times When Linking With v9 (64-bit) libsunperf Libraries

    A link editor bug (4369068) in Solaris 7 and 8 can cause slow link times when linking with 64-bit libraries with many weak symbols, such as libsunperf. Only make performance, not runtime performance, is affected by this link editor bug.

    This link editor bug is fixed by the following patches:

    1. Solaris 7 operating environment patch 106950-15 (minimum revision required)

  2. Some FFTPACK and VFFTPACK Routines Not Accessible Through Their Generic Names

    A number of FFTPACK and VFFTPACK routines are not accessible through their generic names when shared versions of libsunperf are used.

    The code in the following example

    
     foo.f:
     ... 
     USE SUNPERF
     ... 
     CALL COST(M,N,X,XT,LD)
     ... 
 
     f95 -dalign foo.f -xlic_lib=sunperf

    will result in a link error. The link error can be fixed by using the static library, as follows:

        f95 -dalign foo.f -Bstatic -xlic_lib=sunperf -Bdynamic

    The following symbols are affected.
