PLAPACK - Parallel Linear Algebra Package

Abstract
PLAPACK is an MPI based Parallel Linear Algebra Package designed to provide a user friendly infrastructure for building parallel dense linear algebra libraries. PLAPACK provides the following three unique features: 1) A matrix distribution that is a step towards one that is driven by the natural distribution of an application (Physically Based Matrix Distribution), 2) An application interface for filling and querying matrices and vectors, which uses one-sided communication requiring only a standard compliant MPI-1.1 implementation, 3) A programming interface that allows the code to be written in a way that closely resembles the way algorithms are naturally explained, using object based (MPI-like) programming.
