Overview
B LINPACK Subprograms
Overview
LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve systems
of simultaneous linear algebraic equations. The LINPACK package was
developed with the support of the National Science Foundation in the latter
part of the 1970s as one of the first completely systemized collections of linear
algebra software.
Since that time, much has changed in computer architectures and
mathematical algorithms, and LAPACK supersedes LINPACK.
Except for two subprograms, LINPACK is not included in HP MLIB (version 6.1
or later). This appendix describes the two subprograms included in HP
VECLIB:
• DGEFA—A subprogram to factor a general matrix
• DGESL—A subprogram to solve linear equations with a general matrix
