LAPACK3E -- A Fortran 90-enhanced version of LAPACK
نویسنده
چکیده
LAPACK3E is a version of the public domain numerical linear algebra package LAPACK 3 enhanced with selected features of Fortran 90. The use of Fortran 90 enhances LAPACK by allowing a common source for single and double precision, more uniform specification of scaling constants, and encapsulation of some internal subroutine interfaces. Thread-safety is introduced as a new feature for LAPACK by eliminating all the SAVE statements from the Fortran 77 package. Generic interfaces in the style of LAPACK95 are provided for all the subroutines in LAPACK, while maintaining backward compatibility with both the LAPACK 3 and LAPACK95 interfaces. Numerous bug fixes and improvements are also incorporated.

Recursive Version of LU Decomposition
The effective use of the cache memories of the processors is a key component of obtaining high performance algorithms and codes, including here algorithms and codes for parallel computers with shared and distributed memories. The recursive algorithms seem to be a tool for such an action. Unfortunately, worldwide used programming language FORTRAN 77 does not allow explicit recursion. The paper p...
متن کاملProspectus for an Extension to LAPACK: A Portable Linear Algebra Linrary . . .
LAPACK is a linear algebra library for high-performance computers. The rst release, targeted at shared memory machines, will be available in mid 1991, and is already attracting signi cant interest both from the potential user community and from manufacturers. We propose to extend further the usefulness of LAPACK to the user community by: adding linear algebra routines to solve new problems prod...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Java for Numerical Computing
This paper describes the design and implementation of high performance numerical software in Java. Our primary goals are to characterize the performance of object-oriented numerical software written in Java and to investigate whether Java is a suitable language for such endeavors. We have implemented JLAPACK, a subset of the LAPACK library in Java. LAPACK is a high-performance Fortran 77 librar...
متن کاملImplementation for LAPACK of a Block Algorithm for Matrix 1-Norm Estimation
We describe double precision and complex*16 Fortran 77 implementations, in LAPACK style, of a block matrix 1-norm estimator of Higham and Tisseur. This estimator differs from that underlying the existing LAPACK code, xLACON, in that it iterates with a matrix with t columns, where t ≥ 1 is a parameter, rather than with a vector, and so the basic computational kernel is level 3 BLAS operations. O...
متن کاملFortran 77 Subroutines for Computing the Eigenvalues of Hamiltonian Matrices I: the Square Reduced Method
This paper describes LAPACK-based Fortran 77 subroutines for the reduction of a Hamiltonian matrix to square-reduced form and the approximation of all its eigenvalues using the implicit version of Van Loan's method. The transformation of the Hamiltonian matrix to a square-reduced form transforms a Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem of order 2n to a Hessenberg eigenvalue problem of order n. The eige...
