Program Generation for Linear Algebra Using Multiple Layers of DSLs

Abstract

Numerical software in computational science and engineering often relies on highly-optimized building blocks from libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK, and while such libraries provide portable performance for a wide range of computing architectures, they still present limitations in terms of flexibility. We advocate a domain-specific program generator capable of producing library routines tailored to the specific needs of the application in terms of sizes, interface, and target architecture.
