Sun Performance Library

If you develop computationally intensive applications, such as those performing computational linear algebra and Fourier transforms, try the Sun Performance Library. You can use this library on single- or multi-processor systems, and call it from all Sun WorkShop compiler language systems.

Some of the most widely used libraries are the mathematical collections known as BLAS, LINPACK, LAPACK, FFTPACK, and VFFTPACK. While these libraries provide a multitude of functions, typically, they are not highly optimized or parallelized. The Sun Performance Library contains highly optimized versions of these libraries. With native interfaces to FORTRAN 77 and accessibility from Fortran 90, the Sun Performance Library can boost your application speed by a factor of four or more.
