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 LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK, which has been +designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers. |
