Description-en: Basic Linear Algebra Comm. Subprograms - Shared libs. for PVM
The BLACS project is an ongoing investigation whose purpose is to
create a linear algebra oriented message passing interface that may be
implemented efficiently and uniformly across a large range of
distributed memory platforms.
.
You can choose between an implementation based on MPI or PVM. This
package uses PVM.
.
There are packages for the shared libraries (this one), for the
static libraries and the development files and for test programs.
.
Most users do not need to install this package directly because it is
used as a high level driver for the communication in the ScaLAPACK packages.
Therefore, it is installed when installing ScaLAPACK. ScaLAPACK is a
parallel version of LAPACK and is used on Beowulf type clusters.
