Overview of ScaLAPACK Routines
The model of the computing environment for ScaLAPACK
is represented as a one-dimensional array of processes (for operations on band
or tridiagonal matrices) or also a two-dimensional process grid (for operations
on dense matrices). To use ScaLAPACK, all global matrices or vectors should be
distributed on this array or grid prior to calling the ScaLAPACK routines.
ScaLAPACK is closely tied to other components, including BLAS, BLACS,
LAPACK, and PBLAS.
