Dear BOINC devs,

For some of the einst...@home code which is FFT-bound, we are going to
try the following strategy:

(1) Link our application to FFTW, Intel Math Kernel Library (IMKL) and
to the AMD Core Math Library (ACML).

(2) At app start up, do some timing tests to measure the speed of each
different library.  We have a fixed data size.

(3) Dynamically use the library which is tested as the fastest on the
host machine.

I have two questions:

(A) Has someone else already tried this approach?

(B) Is anyone currently redistributing the ACML or IMKL with their
application?  If so, did you sign a licensing agreement like this:

Cheers,
        Bruce
