ACAL®

Overview

ACAL® (Advanced Complex Algebra Library) is an out-of-core linear system solution library, using a hyper-matrix approach to partition the problem.

Applications

  • Static load analysis
  • Structural dynamics
  • Computational fluid dynamics
  • Radar cross section
  • Econometric modeling
  • Acoustic target strength
  • Matrix algebra

Benefits

  • ACAL allows high computation efficiency when properly tuned for the platform used.
  • ACAL performs nearly all vectorizable operations thus, minimizing memory bandwidth requirements. Nearly peak theoretical machine performance for linear system solution can be achieved.
  • ACAL can complete symmetric matrices that have been only filled by accumulating entries across the matrix diagonal. For symmetric matrices, this allows a twofold reduction in generation time. It also supports symmetry in the matrix solution process.
