hi Antonio,
The name's Sachin :) . I need this because im not implementing the ATLAS,
fast BLAS or anything like that. What im trying to do is to make a GPU
version of blas. I have implemented this so far but extremely inefficiently.
What i need to do is to do things like initialisation of the GPU hardware as
soon as Rblas.dll gets loaded.
Whats happening so far is something like this:
GPU_DGEMM (arguments)}/*this is a blas function*/
initialise_GPU;
/*rest of code*/
return;
}
sorry for not being clear
sachin
