Collaborations

ASCOT	Christoph. W. Ueberhuber (Institut for Analysis und Scientific Computing, Vienna University of Technology) FFT library for BG/L: together with S. Kral, J. Lorenz, and C.W. Ueberhuber We ported FFTW-GEL by S. Kral (based on FFTW 2.1.5) to support BlueGene/L’s Double FPU. FFTW-GEL for BlueGene/L should be installed on your BlueGene/L machine as standard FFT library. Download the latest version in the download area of SFB AURORA Project 5. Spiral Generated Distributed Memory FFT: together with A. Bonelli, J. Lorenz, M. Püschel, and C.W. Ueberhuber [Best paper award at ISPA06]
BlueGene	IBM Research, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (CASC, LLNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ALCF, ANL) The QBox team led by F. Gygi was Gordon Bell Prize 2005 finalists and won the Gordon Bell Prize 2006 (Peak Performance Award) [SC 06 press release] [ECE news] [LLNL news]
Intel Libraries	The Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) and Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) contain FFT kernels generated by Spiral
