Parallel alternative for spbsvx

206 Views

HI All,

I'm using spbsvx to solve a large band matrix.

While searching for ways to imrpove my SW performance I noticed that spbsvx is not paralleled at all and utilizes only once core of the CPU (i7), even after setting MKL_Set_Num_Threads(8) and MKL_Set_Dynamic(FALSE) (needless to say I also tried with set_dynamic(TRUE).

After a bit more reading I realized that spvsvx is not in the list of LAPACK threaded functions.

Is there a good alternative you can recommend to solve the matrix faster, using more cores?

10x,

Ariel.
