PD Tools: Binaries and Source Code (UMpack)

Last updated: March 6, 2007 by royj

Latest source code and binaries are normally provided upon request (except for certain geographic regions) --- send email to capo.request@gmail.com.
If you are requesting binaries, please indicate your platform (Linux32 / Linux64 / Solaris32 / Solaris64 / Windows32).
Please send the following information with your request:

A number of people contributed new features, performance improvements and bug fixes to recent releases.

There are a number of new commandline options, and some old ones have changed.

Notes:

  1. If you are working with the source-code distribution (UMpacks), the placer binaries you need
    will be built in the MetaPlacer package, not in the Capo package.
  2. The latest public version of Capo is Capo10.5 (January 2007). Please mention the release
    you are using when publishing evaluations of Capo's performance (different versions perform differently).
    Also, please cite one or more of our publications describing algorithms used in Capo.
  3. The results of regression tests may depend on the processor and standard libraries you are using.
    It is quite possible to get everything compiled correctly, and yet have some differences
    in regression tests in several packages (make sure that there were no crashes during those tests).
    Depending on your compiler, there may also be a small number of compiler warnings.
  4. Better solutions can be produced with the option -tryHarder
    However, this will increase runtime. For faster runtime, use -faster, but this option is incompatible with -tryHarder.
  5. Additional documentation is included in source code distribution.
All source code is distributed under the license below.
