This library provides mathematical routines optimized for AMD processors. The successor to ACML is the **AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries** (**AOCL**), a set of mostly [open source](/source/Open_source) libraries compiled for [AMD64](/source/AMD64) processors. It includes optimized open source forks of various projects including [BLIS](/source/BLIS_(software)), [libFLAME](/source/LAPACK#Implementations), [ScaLAPACK](/source/ScaLAPACK), and [FFTW](/source/Fastest_Fourier_Transform_in_the_West). It also offers various new open source solutions including AOCL-Sparse which implements sparse linear algebra, the AOCL-LibM math library, and AOCL-LibMem which implements [memcpy](/source/Memcpy) and similar functions. The AOCL RNG random number generation library is closed source.[2] ## Features ACML consists of the following main components:[3] - A full implementation of Level 1, 2 and 3 [Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms](/source/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprograms) (BLAS), with optimizations for AMD Opteron processors. - A full suite of [Linear Algebra](/source/Linear_Algebra) ([LAPACK](/source/LAPACK)) routines. - A comprehensive suite of [Fast Fourier transform](/source/Fast_Fourier_transform) (FFTs) in single-, double-, single-complex and double-complex data types. - Fast scalar, vector, and array math transcendental library routines - [Random Number Generators](/source/Random_Number_Generator) in both single- and double-precision ## Supported platforms AMD offers pre-compiled binaries for [Linux](/source/Linux), [Solaris](/source/Solaris_(operating_system)), and [Windows](/source/Microsoft_Windows) available for download. Supported compilers include [GNU Fortran](/source/GNU_Fortran), [Intel Fortran Compiler](/source/Intel_Fortran_Compiler), [Microsoft Visual Studio](/source/Microsoft_Visual_Studio), [NAG](/source/Numerical_Algorithms_Group), [PathScale](/source/PathScale), [PGI compiler](/source/PGI_compiler), and [Sun Studio](/source/Sun_Studio_(software)).[4] ## License ACML has a proprietary [freeware](/source/Freeware) license. The library is distributed in binary form free of charge, but cannot be freely redistributed.[5][6] ## See also - [GPUOpen](/source/GPUOpen) – Open-source software suite for visual effects, HPC, and GPGPU - Framewave – formerly the AMD Performance Library - [Open64](/source/Open64) – AMD has an Open64 compiler distribution that can be used with ACML - [Math Kernel Library](/source/Math_Kernel_Library) (MKL) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [AMD Core Math Library Product Features](https://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/archive/acml-product-features/)[*[dead link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot)*] 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["AMD Optimizing CPU Libraries (AOCL)"](https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocl/). *AMD*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-AMD-Core-Math-Library-dotcom_3-0)** ["ACML"](https://web.archive.org/web/20141015020116/http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/cpu-development/amd-core-math-library-acml/).
