Out of Core Approach

• High-level I/O Interface

• ScaLAPACK uses a `Right-looking’ variant for LU, QR and Cholesky factorizations.

• A `Left-looking’ variant is used for Out-of-core factorization to reduce I/O traffic.

• Requires two in-core column panels.

• Imposes another level in the memory hierarchy.
