Strategy -- Near Term Approach

Choose most important routines in library
One sided factorizations LU, , QR
Two sided factorizations , ,
Eigenvalues for symmetric and non-symmetric problem
Large sparse eigenproblems
Sparse direct solvers
Explore idea of templates
Implement toolbox approach
Develop prototype software

Choose most significant programming models
Explicit message passing (BLACS)
Data Parallel (Fortran 90, Fortran D ...)

Choose most important machines
Cray T3D, Intel Paragon, TMC CM-5
Other (KSR, TERA, ...)

Software initially Fortran 77 and C, then Fortran 90, and HPF
Compare approaches
