Welcome to Blip

Blip is moving to http://fawzi.github.com/blip these pages will disappear

a library that focuses on basic things that can be useful for scientific HPC programs. It offers:

  • N-dimensional arrays (blip.narray) that have a nice interface to lapack (that leverages the wrappers of baxissimo)
  • 2,3 and 4D vectors, matrixes and quaternions from the omg library of h3r3tic
  • random and combinatorial(extensive) testing framework (blip.rtest), parallel
  • serialization (blip.serialization) that supports both json format, that can be used also for input files and an efficient binary representation
  • SMP parallelization (blip.parallel.smp) a numa aware very flexible framework
  • MPI parallelization built on the top of mpi, but abstracting it away (so that a pure tcp implementation is possible), for tightly coupled parallelization
  • a Distribued Objects framework that does rpc via proxies (blip.parallel.rpc)
  • a simple socket library that can be used to connect external programs, even if written in fortran or C (for a weak parallel coupling)
  • a coherent and efficient io abstraction

The source is available at github

  • install: git clone git://github.com/fawzi/blip.git (see GettingStarted for the details)
