General Usage

AMD BLIS is an implementation of the BLAS - (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) API with extensive optimizations for AMD processors.

BLIS is part of the AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries (AOCL).

The following environmental variables have been defined:

  • $AMDBLIS_ROOT has been set to the root of the amdblis installation
  • $AMDBLIS_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
  • $AMDBLIS_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files

You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -I$AMDBLIS_INCDIR

and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -L$AMDBLIS_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$AMDBLIS_LIBDIR
