Description-en: Basic Linear Algebra Comm. Subprograms - Shared libs. for OpenMPI
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 MPI. 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.
