| Abstract: | The M.E.S.S. software suite for solving large scale matrix equations and related problems is the successor of the obsolete LyaPack MATLAB® toolbox. The software suite consists of a new MATLAB toolbox and a separate C library C-M.E.S.S. which works independent from MATLAB. Due to the fact that many scientists use Python with NumPy and SciPy for their computations, we want to provide the key algorithms of M.E.S.S. there as well. In this paper, we describe and compare two possible approaches for the implementation, with special focus on their multicore performance. (© 2014 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
