Lighthouse: A User-Centered Web Interface to Matrix Algebra Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our work in progress on the Lighthouse framework, a multifaceted web-based user interface to a taxonomy of numerical software. The taxonomy provides an organized anthology of software components and programming tools needed for the construction of highly-optimized matrix algebra software. It builds upon and improves existing collections of numerical software, adding tools for the tuning of matrix algebra computations. The interface provides basic and advanced search capabilities, as well as the ability to translate a high level description of a matrix algebra computation into a customizable optimized template using the software in the taxonomy. That template aids the developer in all steps of the process, from initial construction through full optimization.
