Installing MAGMA

• Get MAGMA 1.4
  wget http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projectsfiles/magma/downloads/magma-1.4.0.tar.gz
• Unpack the library
  tar zxvf magma-1.4.0.tar.gz
• Modify variables in file make.inc to point to CUDA and LAPACK installations
• Load Intel MKL and CUDA toolkit
  module load cudatoolkit intel
• Run examples in testing
  tomov@todi4:~/magma-1.4.0/testing> aprun -n1 -N1 -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=16 -d16 ./testing_dgemm -N 8000 -c -l
  MAGMA 1.4.0 , capability 3.0
  device 0: Tesla K20X, 732.0 MHz clock, 5759.6 MB memory, capability 3.5
  Usage: ./testing_dgemm [options] [-h|--help]

If running lapack (option --lapack), MAGMA and CUBLAS error are both computed
relative to CPU BLAS result. Else, MAGMA error is computed relative to CUBLAS result.
