more lapack?

[aneeman]

Hi,

I am wondering if it would be possible to get the full set of lapack and blas fortran files in the version that OpenSees uses.

I am trying to get eigenvectors and eigenvalues for stress tensors.
I would like to be able to use the lapack dsyev.f (and also need the lapack and blas drivers it depends on).

thanks,
alisa

we don't provide the full set of blas and lapack routines that are available to keep the size of
the code down .. we only provide the min set needed to compile OpenSees .. a lot of times the blas and lapack routines are already there on your system (and built optimized for your system) .. for someone working on a mac (such as yourself) have a look at
http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredriv ... aries.html

I am actually working on linux and win32 versions.

Could you possibly post the version number for lapack and blas code that is in OpenSees?

Then I could probably find the code/libraries on the web, and add in the ones I need.

thanks,

you can use the latest distributions of blas and lapack .. these packages are so stable they never change their api's.

Thanks for your reply, Frank.
I am wondering if you could also give some hints about building the extra lapack modules into the libraries on the windows side?

thanks,

on thw windows side you are going to have to get a fortran compiler to build the library .. i believe i used the intel fortran compiler (free 30 day trial).
