Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) for AIX

Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) for AIX® consists of mathematical functions tuned specifically for optimum performance on POWER architectures.

These libraries:

• Include both scalar and vector functions.

• Are thread-safe.

• Support both 32-bit and 64-bit compilations.

• Offer improved performance over their corresponding standard system library routines.

• Are intended for use in C, C++, and Fortran applications where slight differences in accuracy or handling of exceptional values can be tolerated.

Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem for AIX includes libraries described below:

• Scalar library
• Vector libraries
• SIMD library
• Vector functions source library
