The NVBLAS Library is a GPU-accelerated Libary that implements BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms).

The NVBLAS Library is a GPU-accelerated Libary that implements BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms). It can accelerate most BLAS Level-3 routines by dynamically routing BLAS calls to one or more NVIDIA GPUs present in the system, when the charateristics of the call make it to speedup on a GPU.

NVBLAS silently fails for semi-large matrix multiplication

I followed the instructions here to run octave with nvblas. I have CUDA toolkit 7.5 installed and a tesla k40c GPU. To start octave with nvblas, I used LD_PRELOAD=libnvblas.so octave. I then ran the following simple code: N = 256 A = rand(N,N) B…

NVBLAS through CBLAS

I have a C++ code and I used CBLAS to compute dgemm and dtrsm. I am interested to use GPUs for performance. With the tests I have done I could use NVBLAS using nvblas.h, however it is not close to CBLAS. I think I can change my code to call dgemm…
