Enable testing and timing if ENABLE_TESTING is set to YES so that the user can check how the changes to FC and FFLAGS work. Patches to workaround the SIGFPE stuff and g77's code checking. Update pkg/DESCR. Submitted by: AMAKAWA Shuhei <sa264@cam.ac.uk>

LAPACK is a library of Fortran 77 subroutines for solving
|
|
the most commonly occurring problems in numerical linear algebra.
|
|
It is freely-available software, and is copyrighted.
|
|
|
|
LAPACK is available on netlib and can be obtained via the World Wide
|
|
Web and anonymous ftp.
|
|
|
|
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/
|
|
|
|
The distribution tar file contains the Fortran source for LAPACK, the
|
|
testing programs, and the timing programs. It also contains the Fortran77
|
|
reference implementation of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
|
|
(the Level 1, 2, and 3 BLAS) needed by LAPACK. However this code is
|
|
intended for use only if there is no other implementation of the BLAS
|
|
already available on your machine; the efficiency of LAPACK depends
|
|
very much on the efficiency of the BLAS.
|
|
|
|
The complete package, including test code and timing programs in four
|
|
different Fortran data types (real, complex, double precision, double
|
|
complex), contains some 805,000 lines of Fortran source and comments.
|
|
You will need approximately 33 Mbytes to read the complete tape.
|
|
We recommend that you run the testing and timing programs. The total
|
|
space requirements for the testing and timing for all four data
|
|
types, including the object files, is approximately 80 Mbytes.
|
|
|
|
A README file containing the information in this letter is located
|
|
in the LAPACK directory. Postscript and LaTeX versions of the Quick
|
|
Installation Guide are in the LAPACK/INSTALL directory, in the files
|
|
lawn81.tex, psfig.tex, lawn81.ps, and org2.ps. Consult the Installation
|
|
Guide for further details on installing the package and on what is contained
|
|
in each subdirectory. For complete information on the LAPACK Testing
|
|
and Timing Suites please consult LAPACK Working Note 41 "Installation
|
|
Guide for LAPACK".
|
|
|
|
It is highly recommended that you obtain a copy of the Second Edition of
|
|
the LAPACK Users' Guide published by SIAM in February 1995. This Users'
|
|
Guide gives a detailed description of the philosophy behind LAPACK as well
|
|
as an explanation of its usage. The LAPACK Users' Guide can be purchased from:
|
|
SIAM; 3600 University City Science Center; Philadelphia, PA 19104-2688;
|
|
215-382-9800, FAX 215-386-7999. It will also be available from booksellers.
|
|
|
|
To order by email, send email to service@siam.org. The book is also
|
|
available via SIAM's World Wide Web URL at http://www.siam.org. The
|
|
ISBN number is 0-89871-345-5, and SIAM order code is OT46. The list
|
|
price for SIAM members is $22.80; the cost for nonmembers is $28.50.
|
|

|
|
|
|
The Fortran90 interface to LAPACK is available, as well as an f2c'ed
|
|
version of LAPACK, and a C++ version of a subset of LAPACK routines.

|
LAPACK has been thoroughly tested, on many different
|
|
types of computers. The LAPACK project supports the package in the
|
|
sense that reports of errors or poor performance will gain immediate
|
|
attention from the developers. Such reports, descriptions
|
|
of interesting applications, and other comments should be sent by
|
|
electronic mail to lapack@cs.utk.edu.
|
|
|
|
A list of known problems, bugs, and compiler errors for LAPACK is
|
|
maintained on netlib.

|
|
|
|
A number of technical reports were written during the development of
|
|
LAPACK and published as LAPACK Working Notes, initially by Argonne
|
|
National Laboratory and later by the University of Tennessee. Many of
|
|
these reports later appeared as journal articles. Most of these working
|
|
notes are available in pdf and postscript form from netlib.
