Abstract:
This research project consisted of a number of closely related topics involving researchers at several institutions. The research is leading to important new software tools and standards, using primarily, the software packages ScaLAPACK and P_ARPACK. ScaLAPACK, developed at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of California at Berkeley, is a prototype library of software for performing dense and band linear algebra computations on message-passing computers. P_ARPACK developed at Rice University, is a distributed-memory software package for solving large, sparse, nonsymmetrical eigenproblems using a variant of the implicitly restarted arnold method. Recognizing that a message passing standard was necessary to ensure the easy portability of the prototype libraries, the project initiated and promoted the development of the MPI message passing interface, as well as the HPF standard. Standards specific to parallel linear algebra are also being developed.
