Subject: Sca/LAPACK, PLASMA, & MAGMA Software Survey

We would like you opinion and provide input on dense linear algebra
software packages that you use, in particular our libraries LAPACK,
ScaLAPACK, PLASMA and MAGMA. The purpose of this survey is to improve
these libraries to benefit you, the users. There are many possible
improvements that could be made, and this survey will help us
prioritize them.

The survey has six parts and it's easy to skip a part if it's not
relevant.
1. A general section about your applications and their needs.
2. Specific questions about your LAPACK uses, if any.
3. Specific questions about your ScaLAPACK uses, if any.
4. Specific questions about your PLASMA uses, if any.
5. Specific questions about your MAGMA uses, if any.
6. An open section for any additional comment

We estimate that it should take 10 minutes to fill out the survey.
You will find the survey here:

Thank you very much.

Subject: FlexiBLAS Version 1.3.0 Release

It is our pleasure to announce the new release of FlexiBLAS. We do not
provide yet another BLAS implementation in itself, but rather present
an easy to use method for switching between different BLAS
implementations while debugging or benchmarking other codes.

Highlights since the release of the initial version (v1.0.0) are:
- support for BLAS-like extensions known from OpenBLAS and Intel MKL,
- switch the BLAS backend at program runtime,
- integration in GNU Octave,
- and a redesigned command line tool to manage the configuration.

Feel free to check the current version at
http://www.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/projects/flexiblas/
and drop us a line if you have any comments or requests about it.

Further information on the realization can be found in LAWN 284
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawnspdf/lawn284.pdf
or updated version of the Manuscript (coming soon) available from the
project web page.

The library is available under GPLv3. We have tested it in production
environments on several platforms and hope you will find it useful for
your research, as well.

behavior of biological systems. Recent work by our lab in this area
includes combining stochastic simulation and optimization techniques
to characterize promoter architecture from single-cell gene expression
data.  More information can be found at http://daiglelab.org.
