We’re starting this blog to showcase QLA: The Quick Linear Algebra Library, our accelerated linear algebra package for Matlab, to demonstrate what it can do and how to do it.

Our main site and documentation convey the basics, but here in the blog we’ll delve deeper. We plan to demo a wide variety of applications, along with offering various tips and tricks on how to get the most out of QLA.

Our goal is to show you how to use the supercomputing speed of QLA to boost your applications to the next level. To this end, our demo posts will always have code and data available so you can replicate and build on our examples. We’ll be exploring the unknown, finding new application areas, and hopefully setting new speed records along the way.

We definitely want an ongoing conversation on these topics and will be very responsive to comments and suggestions. In particular, let us know if there are applications you’d like us to try, especially if you have data to share.

Our aim is to bring supercomputing speeds to regular computers; follow along and you’ll see what we mean.
