superlu-dist

Distributed memory, MPI based SuperLU

SuperLU_DIST contains a set of subroutines to solve a sparse linear system A*X=B. It uses Gaussian elimination with static pivoting (GESP). Static pivoting is a technique that combines the numerical stability of partial pivoting with the scalability of Cholesky (no pivoting), to run accurately and efficiently on large numbers of processors. SuperLU_DIST is a parallel extension to the serial SuperLU library. It is targeted for the distributed memory parallel machines. SuperLU_DIST is implemented in ANSI C, with OpenMP for on-node parallelism and MPI for off-node communications. We are actively developing GPU acceleration capabilities.
