Matrix determinant which libraries?

[boyfarrell]

Hello,

What is the best way to find the determinant of matrix using C code?

I have heard about cblas and clinpack but I couldn't find anything in the way of documentation or example code for this case.

I have another questions, these sort of matrix operation sounds like it could be hardware accelerated does anybody know which libraries allow this?

The solution that I am using at the moment is GNU Scientific Library, http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gsl-discuss.../msg00193.html

Cheers,

Dan

AMD makes an optimized version that works on both AMD and Intel processors:

Intel also has one, but it's ONLY going to work on Intel procesors, not AMD processors (despite the AMD processors being perfectly capable of doing this, as proven by patching the library to ignore the processor manufacturer check).
