Building Blocks for Iterative Solution of Linear Systems

• Some users want algorithms which are fast for their particular application even if not reliable as general methods.
  
  
• They want the tools to customize iterative methods for solving the linear systems that arise in their specific problem.
  
  
• Offer reusable software templates
