The default version of ACML (the AMD Core Math Library) will be upgraded 
from its current default of 2.7.0 to version 3.0 on Wednesday, February 
22, 2006.   This version is already installed on Jacquard in the 
acml/3.0.0 module.

ACML is a very higher performance, vendor supplied collection of 
mathematical routines comparable to the IBM ESSL library which includes, 
among many other mathematical routines, full implementations of BLAS and 
LAPACK.  There are instructions on using this library at 
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/jacquard/programming.php.  The 
vendor home page for the library is at http://developer.amd.com/acml.aspx.
