abstract

BlockSolve is a scalable parallel software library primarily intended for the
solution of sparse linear systems that arise from physical problems having
multiple degrees of freedom at each node.

environment

BlockSolve95 runs on a variety of parallel architectures including the IBM SP,
Intel DELTA, and networks of Sun, RS/6000, and SGI workstations. This
portability is obtained by utilizing the MPI message-passing standard.
