From: gaertner@rz-berlin.mpg.de Subject: LAPACK availability ! Date: 9 Mar 92 15:47:05 +0100 The following information just appeared on na-net; I removed the infos not relating to LAPACK. Hope that it will answer all LAPACK questions.

It has been designed to be efficient on a wide range of modern high-performance computers. LAPACK is intended to be the successor to LINPACK and EISPACK. It extends the functionality of these packages by including driver routines, iterative refinement and error bounds for linear systems, the capability for finding selected eigenvalues and invariant subspaces, and condition estimation for the eigenproblem. LAPACK improves on the accuracy of standard algorithms for linear systems, for finding singular values and singular vectors of bidiagonal matrices, and for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of tridiagonal matrices. The algorithms and software in the package have been restructured to achieve high efficiency on vector processors, high-performance ``superscalar'' workstations, and shared memory multiprocessors. In addition to the LAPACK routines, comprehensive testing and timing suite is provided along with the LAPACK software. The LAPACK Users' Guide will be available from SIAM in or around May, 1992. The Users' Guide gives an informal introduction to the design of the algorithms and software, summarizes the contents of the package, describes conventions used in the software and documentation, and includes complete specifications for calling the routines. The LAPACK routines are available from netlib for users who require only selected pieces of the package. For a description of the contents of LAPACK, send email to netlib@ornl.gov, and in the mail message type: send index from lapack. A set of working notes are available from netlib as well and details can be found in the index to LAPACK. The complete LAPACK package can be obtained on magnetic media from NAG for a nominal handling charge.
