You should check out the MUMPS parallel linear solver.

Dear OpenMPI Users, I successfully installed OpenMPI on some FreeBSD machines and I can run MPI programs on the cluster. Yippie! But I'm not patient enough to write my own MPI-based routines. So I thought maybe I could ask here for suggestions. I am primarily interested in general linear algebra routines. The best would be to for instance start Octave and just use it as normal, only that all matrix operations would run on the cluster. Has anyone done that? The octave-parallel package seems to be something different. I installed scalapack and the test files ran successfully with mpirun (except a few of them). But the source code examples of scalapack looks terrible. Is there no higher-level library that provides an API with matrix operations, which have all MPI parallelism stuff handled for you in the background? Certainly a smart piece of software can decide better than me how to chunk up a matrix and pass it out to the available processes. All the best, Daniel _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
