Organization

Part 6 of this document is organized as follows:

Chapter 13 explains sparse symmetric linear equation subprograms

Chapter 14 describes METIS subprograms

Chapter 15 describes sparse symmetric eigenvalue subprograms

Chapter 16 describes BCSLIB-EXT functionality

Supplemental material is provided as follows:

Appendix A describes how to call VECLIB and LAPACK subprograms from within C programs

Appendix B describes LINPACK subprograms available in HP MLIB

Appendix C lists parallelized subprograms in VECLIB and LAPACK

An index is included at the back of the manual

Supplemental information for Part 2 of this HP MLIB User’s Guide, is found in the LAPACK Users’ Guide.

The LAPACK Users’ Guide is a publication from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics that provides an introduction to the design of LAPACK as well as complete specifications for all the driver and computational routines.

You can access the latest edition of the LAPACK Users’ Guide at the Netlib repository at the following URL:

Supplemental information for Part 3 of this HP MLIB User’s Guide, is found in the ScaLAPACK User’s Guide.

The ScaLAPACK Users’ Guide is a publication from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics that provides an informal introduction to the design of ScaLAPACK as well as a detailed description of its contents and a reference manual. You can access the latest edition of the ScaLAPACK Users’ Guide at the Netlib repository at the following URL:
