-
-	Please describe here any common settings, configurations or conventions that would make the usage of this resource (library or tool) more interoperable or scalable across the HP-SEE resources. These recommendations should include anything that is related to the resource and is agreed upon by administrators and users, or across sites and applications. These recommendations should emerge from questions or discussions opened by site administrators or application developers, at any stage, including installation, development, usage, or adaptation for another HPC centre.
-
-	Provided descriptions should describe general or site specific aspects of resource installation, configuration and usage, or describe the guidelines or convention for deploying or using the resource within the local (user/site) or temporary environment (job). Examples are:
-
-	* Common configuration settings of execution environment
-	* Filesystem path or local access string
-	* Environment variables to be set or used by applications
-	* Options (e.g. additional modules) that are needed or required by applications and should be present
-	* Minimum quantitative values (e.g. quotas) offered by the site
-	* Location and format of some configuration or usage hint instructing applications on proper use of the resource or site specific policy
-	* Key installation or configuration settings that should be set to a common value, or locally tweaked by local site admins
-	* Conventions for application or job bound installation and usage of the resource

Authors/Maintainers

• Also origin, if the software comes from a specific project.

Summary

GotoBLAS – "the, currently, fastest implementation of the Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (BLAS)". The advantage is fast calculation. Note that the actual performance depends in part on the code from which you call the GotoBLAS subroutine(s) and on the combination of architecture and operating system under which you are running. Your own tuning here can make a big difference. The GotoBLAS have various interfaces for both commercial and noncommercial compilers, including GNU g77, Intel, PGI, PathScale, IBM, SUN Studio and Compaq. The GotoBLAS source code was contributed by many before FOSS licenses were established, there are both free and commercial versions/implementations available.
