Contents:

  • The GCC Compiler and its options
  • Intel Compiler Studio
  • The different levels of code optimization
  • Using external libraries
  • Using configure and make
  • Downloading and compiling source code
  • Using linear algebra, signal processing libraries, etc.(BLAS, MKL, ACML, etc.)

Prerequisite:

  • Being able to use SSH with private keys 
  • Being familiar with a text editor 
  • Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)
