SuperLU (Version 3.0)
=====================
SuperLU is a general purpose library for the direct solution of large,
sparse, nonsymmetric systems of linear equations on high performance
machines. The library is written in C and is callable from either C or
Fortran. The library routines will perform an LU decomposition with
partial pivoting and triangular system solves through forward and back
substitution. The LU factorization routines can handle non-square matrices
but the triangular solves are performed only for square matrices. The
matrix columns may be preordered (before factorization) either through
library or user supplied routines. This preordering for sparsity is
completely separate from the factorization. Working precision iterative
refinement subroutines are provided for improved backward stability.
Routines are also provided to equilibrate the system, estimate the
condition number, calculate the relative backward error, and estimate
error bounds for the refined solutions.
