Improving Large Vector Operations with C++ Expression Template and ATLAS
Introduction
Industrial Context at EDF R&D
I
Development of large simulation codes in various areas
(neutron transport, fluid dynamics,. . . ).
I
Hetereogenous development teams ? Physics/Numerical
Analysis/Computer Science
I
Fortran (+ MPI) or Higher level approaches ?
I
The increasing complexity of the architecture targets AND of
the simulation goals (e.g. accuracy) should lead to major
evolutions in our organization. . . .
I
Development of a Linear Algebra (LA) C++ library for
structured/sparse matrices.
