'''AMD Core Math Library''' (ACML) is a [[software development]] library released by [[AMD]]. This library provides useful mathematical routines optimized for AMD processors.

<!-- updated by AMD on 6/1/2007 -->

Originally developed in 2002 for use in [[HPC]] ([[high performance computing|high-performance computing]] (HPC) and scientific computing, ACML allows nearly optimal use of [[AMD]] [[Opteron]] processors in compute-intensive applications.

* A full implementation of Level 1, 2 and 3 [[Basic Linear Algebra SubroutinesSubprograms]] (BLAS), with key routines optimizedoptimizations for high performance on AMD Opteron processors.

* A full suite of [[Linear Algebra]] ([[LAPACK]]) routines. As well as taking advantage of the highly-tuned [[BLAS]] kernels, a key set of [[LAPACK]] routines has been further optimized to achieve considerably higher performance than standard LAPACK implementations.

* A comprehensive suite of [[Fast Fourier Transformstransform]] ([[FFT]]sFFTs) in both single-, double-, single-complex and double-complex data types.

* Fast scalar, vector, and array math transcendental library routines optimized for high performance on AMD Opteron processors.

* [[Random Number GeneratorsGenerator]]s in both single- and double-precision.

==Supported platforms==

AMD offers pre-compiled binaries for [[Linux]], [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], and [[Windows]] available for download. Supported compilers include [[gfortran]], [[Intel Fortran Compiler]], [[Microsoft Visual Studio]], [[Numerical Algorithms Group|NAG]], PathScale, [[PGI compiler]], and [[Sun Studio (software)|Sun Studio]]. <ref>{{cite web
