Description : The ScaLAPACK (or Scalable LAPACK) library includes a subset
: of LAPACK routines redesigned for distributed memory MIMD
: parallel computers. It is currently written in a
: Single-Program-Multiple-Data style using explicit message
: passing for inter-processor communication. It assumes
: matrices are laid out in a two-dimensional block cyclic
: decomposition.
:
: ScaLAPACK is designed for heterogeneous computing and is
: portable on any computer that supports MPI or PVM.
:
: Like LAPACK, the ScaLAPACK routines are based on
: block-partitioned algorithms in order to minimize the frequency
: of data movement between different levels of the memory hierarchy.
: (For such machines, the memory hierarchy includes the off-processor
: memory of other processors, in addition to the hierarchy of registers,
: cache, and local memory on each processor.) The fundamental building
: blocks of the ScaLAPACK library are distributed memory versions (PBLAS)
: of the Level 1, 2 and 3 BLAS, and a set of Basic Linear Algebra
: Communication Subprograms (BLACS) for communication tasks that arise
: frequently in parallel linear algebra computations. In the ScaLAPACK
: routines, all inter-processor communication occurs within the PBLAS and the
: BLACS. One of the design goals of ScaLAPACK was to have the ScaLAPACK
: routines resemble their LAPACK equivalents as much as possible.

: This package contains ScaLAPACK libraries compiled with mpich.
