xx HP MLIB VECLIB User’s Guide

Organization

The HP MLIB User’s Guide describes HP MLIB VECLIB in Part 1, HP MLIB

LAPACK in Part 2, HP MLIB ScaLAPACK in Part 3, and HP MLIB Distributed

SuperLU in Part 4.

To learn fundamental information necessary for using the VECLIB library,

read Chapter 1 and the introductory sections of the other chapters. These

sections of background information will help you efﬁciently use the library

subprograms.

To learn more about the subject of any chapter, refer to the literature cited in

the “Associated documentation” section of each chapter.

Part 1 of this document is organized as follows:

• Chapter 1 introduces general concepts about VECLIB

• Chapter 2 describes basic vector operations included in VECLIB

• Chapter 3 describes basic matrix operations included in VECLIB

• Chapter 4 describes sparse BLAS operations

• Chapter 5 describes the discrete Fourier transforms in VECLIB

• Chapter 6 describes subprograms to compute convolutions and correlations

of data sets

• Chapter 7 describes miscellaneous subprograms to produce random

numbers, sort the elements of a vector in ascending or descending order,

measure time, allocate dynamic memory, and report errors

Part 2 of this document is organized as follows:

• Chapter 8 describes information speciﬁc to Hewlett-Packard’s

implementation of LAPACK

• Chapter 9 describes selected LAPACK auxiliary subprograms

Part 3 of this document is organized as follows:
