Re: [Starpu-devel] Magma/Plasma on StarPU

[Andra Hugo <andra.hugo@inria.fr>]

Hello,

The magma code using starpu is deprecated. You should probably use morse in 
this case (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/morse). This is a research project and the 
developers do not plan to make a new release before september, but if you 
need it right away they could make you a tarball of the current svn 
repository.

Morse provides some examples together with the source code 
(morse/magma_morse/timing/). You can see there how exactly it is used.

If you want to know how LU is working you can read this: 
http://icl.cs.utk.edu/news_pub/submissions/plagma_lu.pdf

For more exact information you should probably contact morse team (in CC you 
can find Emmanuel and Mathieu's address mail). 

Let us know if you have further questions!

Best regards,
Andra Hugo
