Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) consists of libraries of tuned mathematical intrinsic functions, available in versions for the AIX® and Linux® platforms.
MASS libraries offer improved performance over the standard mathematical library routines, are thread-safe and support compilations in C, C++, and Fortran applications.
The MASS libraries are shipped with the XL C, XL C/C++, and XL Fortran compiler products.
