HONEI: Hardware oriented numerics, efficiently implemented

HONEI is an open-source collection of libraries offering a hardware oriented approach to numerical calculations.

HONEI abstracts the hardware, and applications written on top of HONEI can be executed on a wide range of computer
architectures such as common CPUs, GPUs and the Cell processor.

An important aspect of our approach is that the full performance capabilities of the hardware under consideration
can be exploited by implementing optimised application-specific operations on top of HONEIs libraries.
HONEI provides all necessary infrastructure for and significantly simplifies the development and evaluation of such kernels.
Additionally, HONEI implements typical numerical operations on vectors and matrices being a basis for many high-level algorithms.
