-LINPACK is a collection of Fortran subroutines that analyze and solve
-linear equations and linear least-squares problems. 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 LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK, which has been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.
