A Project for Developing a Linear Algebra Library for High-Performance Computers

  • Chapter
Solution of Superlarge Problems in Computational Mechanics

Abstract

Argonne National Laboratory, the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences, and the Numerical Algorithms Group, Ltd., are developing a transportable linear algebra library in Fortran 77. The library is intended to provide a uniform set of subroutines to solve the most common linear algebra problems and to run efficiently on a wide range of high-performance computers.
