SI2-SSI: Sustaining Innovation in the Linear Algebra Software Stack for Computational Chemistry and other Sciences

<div>Scientific applications such as quantum chemistry are enabled by efficient computational kernels, especially from linear algebra. The development of the BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software (BLIS) framework and libflame library with LAPACK functionality as part of this grant not only rivals the efficiency of proprietary vendor libraries, but has the potential to support scientific applications in novel ways. The project incorporates pedagogical outreach in innovative ways, ranging from undergraduate research involvement to the development of Massive Open Online Courses offered through edX.
