Notable functionality additions

  • (Arbitrary-precision) real and complex Lenstra/Lenstra/Lovasz (LLL) lattice reduction
  • (Arbitrary-precision) real and complex Block Korkine-Zolotarev (BKZ) and various enumeration heuristic extensions (BKZ 2.0 and y-sparse enumeration)
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed divide-and-conquer real symmetric tridiagonal EVD
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed divide-and-conquer bidiagonal SVD
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed Aggressive Early Deflation Hessenberg QR algorithms
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed high-performance level 3 BLAS complex triangular eigenvector computation
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed high-performance pseudospectra
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed real and complex sparse linear solvers (including a special interface for symmetric quasi-semidefinite matrices)
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed real and complex generalized sparse least squares solvers (including LSE and GLM)
  • (Arbitrary-precision) distributed dense and sparse Linear, Quadratic, and Second-Order Cone Programming

Packaging additions

Relevant toolchain bugs

  • GCC Release builds are (by default) blocked on OSX due to -O3 optimizations leading to a stack_not_16_byte_aligned_error error. Please see #181 for a more detailed discussion. The CMake flag -D EL_IGNORE_OSX_GCC_ALIGNMENT_PROBLEM=ON will prevent the error for OSX GCC Release builds.
  • OpenMPI versions before 1.8.1 are prevented by the CMake configuration due to bugs in OpenMPI 1.6.5's handling of complex datatypes
