            micMAGMA Release Notes
	
-----------------------------------------------------

micMAGMA is an Intel MIC port of MAGMA, intended for a single MIC. 

Included are routines for the following algorithms:

    * LU, QR, and Cholesky factorizations in both real and complex
      arithmetic (single and double);

 1.0.0 - 
    * Added multiple MIC LU factorization (routines {z|c|d|s}getrf_mmic)
