LINPACK; simultaneous linear algebraic equations. [IBM360,370 (designed to be machine-independent); FORTRAN]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6228713
LINPACK is a collection of FORTRAN subroutines which analyze and solve various classes of systems of simultaneous linear algebraic equations. The collection deals with general, banded, symmetric indefinite, symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal square matrices, as well as with least squares problems and the QR and singular value decompositions of rectangular matrices. A subroutine-naming convention is employed in which each subroutine name consists of five letters which represent a coded specification (TXXYY) of the computation done by that subroutine. The LINPACK package also includes a set of routines to perform basic vector operations called the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS).IBM360,370 (designed to be machine-independent); FORTRAN; OS/360,370 on the IBM360,370; The entire coefficient matrix will usually be stored in the computer memory, although there are provisions for band matrices and for row-by-row processing of large rectangular matrices. 240K bytes of storage are required for execution of a typical sample problem on the IBM360,370 system.
