Description
flexiblas_load_backend loads a backend from the FlexiBLAS configuration. The name parameter specifies the name of the backend inside the configuration. The available backends can be access via flexiblas_list. Except of some special backends, like the upcoming CUBLAS backend the backend is initialized during the load. The name of the backend is not case sensitive.
Return Value
On success, it returns the id of the loaded backend which is used within a later call to flexiblas_switch to change the backend.
If the requested backend can not be found in the configuration, an error is returned.
Errors
All negative return values are errors and can not be used as an id for flexiblas_switch.
