A Scalable Parallel Library for Numerical Linear Algebra.

Abstract

This report details the main technical results of the research project 'A scalable parallel library for numerical linear algebra,' and constitutes the final report for this project. The research led to the development of a substantial body of software, both in the area of parallel linear algebra, and in infrastructure for building parallel libraries. The main parallel software libraries produced were ScaLAPACK for dense linear algebra, ARPACK for large-scale eigenproblems, and CAPSS for solving sparse linear systems. The project also played a central role in initiating and supporting the creation of the MPT message passing interface. In addition, the project has promoted the use of software templates as building blocks for iterative methods, and project personnel have co-authored a book on this subject.
