Dear Luis Pineda,

I wonder wether in your case it might be an simple alternative not to use a 
geostats library, but a linear algebra package like LAPACK directly.

Kriging computations is mainly about building the right matrices in the 
computer memory and solving the resulting linear equation system. The rest is 
convenience functions and user interfaces. So if your model does not obay the 
typical rules of data arrangements like: 1D-3D data, variogram-modelling, 
stationarity (maybe not good for computer models), it might be more difficult 
to use the typical matrix builders of geostats than programming it directly 
in C and what remains is the linear algebra. LAPACK is a generic the linear 
algebra package used as backend in most software packages anyway. Thus you 
might get more performance with less programming effort. 

You should only keep in mind to eighter use a search neighbourhood or the dual 
kriging representation (typically making  computations way faster). 

Best regards,
Gerald
