Facts
- Purpose
- libCEED is a library for matrix-free operator representation, with runtime selection of implementations for CPUs and GPUs.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Target users
- Its low-level API is intended for application code with its own discretization infrastructure, including PETSc, MFEM, and Nek5000.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Methods
- The library focuses on high-order finite elements, while its algebraic approach also applies to other discretizations in factored form.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Language interfaces
- The C99 library has Fortran, Python, Julia, and Rust interfaces.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- CPU and GPU backends
- Documented backends include CPU implementations and GPU implementations using CUDA, HIP, SYCL, and MAGMA.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Build dependencies
- The library has no required dependencies; CUDA, HIP, and SYCL support can be enabled during the build, and SYCL requires oneAPI compilers.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Integration
- The manual describes libCEED as a lightweight library that can be integrated into new and legacy software through a purely algebraic interface.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Reproducibility limit
- Some backends use nondeterministic operations, and the manual identifies which backends can produce reproducible results with proper compilation options.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Backend requirements
- The documented HIP backends require ROCm 4.2 or newer, and the MAGMA backends require MAGMA 2.5.0 or newer.libceed.org · 5 Oct 2026
- Support
- The project repository says users can contact the libCEED team by email or leave a comment in the issue tracker.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
- License
- The repository identifies the software as BSD-2-Clause licensed.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
