Abstract :
In this paper, we present the recent port to and latest results of our cache-oblivious algorithms and implementations of parallel LU decomposition code TifaMMy on two new architectures: SGI´s UltraViolet distributed shared memory machine, and Intel´s latest x86 architecture Sandy Bridge. TifaMMy´s matrix multiplication and LU decomposition routines have been further optimized with regard to these new architectures. Results are discussed and compared with Intel´s architecture specific and optimized numerical Math Kernel Library (MKL) for both the standard C++ version with vectorization compiler switches and TifaMMy´s highly optimized vector intrinsics version.
