Here are som modifications on Mills based on recommendations from Using ACML (AMD Core Math Library) In High Performance Computing Challenge (HPCC)
Changes to the make file hpl/setup/Make.Linux_ATHLON_FBLAS copied to hpl/Make.open64-acml
MP or LA/usr/bin/gcc to mpicc/usr/bin/g77 to mpif77-DHPCC_FFT_235 to CCFLAGSThe Valet commands are
vpkg_devrequire acml/5.2.0-open64-fma4 vpkg_devrequire openmpi/1.6.1-open64
Exported variables (to set values for commented LAinc and LAlib)
export LAinc="$CPPFLAGS" export LAlib="$LDFLAGS -lacml"
Make command with 4 threads
make -j 4 arch=open64-acml
package `acml/5.2.0-open64-fma4` package `open64/4.5` package `openmpi/1.4.4-open64`
N = 30000, NB = 100, P = 6, Q=8
These runs need 48 processes (6 per row and 8 per column.) The same number of processes are run with 48 or 96 slots.

| NCPU=1 | -pe openmpi 48 | –bind-to-core |
| NCPU=2 | -pe openmpi 96 | –bind-to-core –bycore –cpus-per-proc 2 -np 48 |

N = 72000, NB = 100, P = 12, Q = 16
nproc = 2x192 (384 slots with 192 MPI workers bound to a bulldozer core pair)
Two runs mostly differ by the use of Qlogic PSM endpoints
