LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
|
||
|
|
linear equations and linear least-squares probles. 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 LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK which has been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.
