jblas is a matrix library for Java which uses existing high performance BLAS and LAPACK libraries like ATLAS. Version 1.2.0, January 7, 2011 Version 1.1.1 Version 1.1, August 16, 2010 Version 1.0.2, February 26, 2010 Version 1.0.1, January 14, 2010 Version 1.0, December 22, 2009 Version 0.3, September 17, 2009 Version 0.2, May 8, 2009 Version 0.1, March 28, 2009 see also the file RELEASE_NOTES Homepage: http://jblas.org INSTALL In principle, all you need is the jblas-1.2.0,jar in your classpath. jblas-1.2.0.jar will then automagically extract your platform dependent native library to a tempfile and load it from there. You can also put that file somewhere in your load path ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Linux, %PATH for Windows). BUILDING If you only work on the java part, an ant build.xml is provided to recompile the sources. In addition to that you need an installation of ruby for some scripts which automaticall generate code. Then, you just type "ant" on the command line. If you want to build jblas from the sources including the native part, you need to set up quite a few things: You will need some implementation of blas and lapack. jblas is tested with either plain lapack, or ATLAS (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/). You also need the Fortran sources for BLAS and LAPACK, available, for example from http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-lite-3.1.1.tgz. If you still want to build the source your own, see INSTALL for further details. HOW TO GET STARTED Have a look at javadoc/index.html and javadoc/org/jblas/DoubleMatrix.html If you want to validate your installation and get some performance numbers, try "java -server -jar jblas-1.2.0.jar", or drop the server in case, you only have the "client" JVM installed.

Make sure to include as much information as possible. For configuration problems it would also be helpful to include the file "configure.log". CONTRIBUTORS see file AUTHORS
