LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
|
||
|
|
linear equations and linear least-squares problems. The package solves
|
||
|
|
linear systems whose matrices are general, banded, symmetric indefinite,
|
||
|
|
symmetric positive definite, triangular, and tridiagonal square. In
|
||
|
|
addition, the package computes the QR and singular value decompositions of
|
||
|
|
rectangular matrices and applies them to least-squares problems. LINPACK
|
||
|
|
uses column-oriented algorithms to increase efficiency by preserving
|
||
|
|
locality of reference.

LINPACK was designed for supercomputers in use in the 1970s and early
|
||
|
|
1980s. LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK, which has been
|
||
|
|
designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers.
