The following base libraries are needed:
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>BLAS</STRONG></DT>
<DD>[<A
HREF="node25.html#blas3">11</A>,<A
HREF="node25.html#blas2">12</A>,<A
HREF="node25.html#blas1">19</A>] Many vendors provide optimized versions
of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms; if no vendor version is
available for a given platform, the ATLAS software
(<code>http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/</code>)
may be employed. The reference BLAS from Netlib
(<code>http://www.netlib.org/blas</code>) are meant to define the standard
behaviour of the BLAS interface, so they are not optimized for any
particular plaftorm, and should only be used as a last
resort. Note that BLAS computations form a relatively small part of
the MLD2P4/PSBLAS computations; they are however critical when using
preconditioners based on the UMFPACK or SuperLU third party
libraries.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>MPI</STRONG></DT>
<DD>[<A
HREF="node25.html#MPI2">18</A>,<A
HREF="node25.html#MPI1">23</A>] A version of MPI is available on most
high-performance computing systems;
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>PSBLAS</STRONG></DT>
<DD>[<A
HREF="node25.html#PSBLASGUIDE">15</A>,<A
HREF="node25.html#psblas_00">17</A>] Parallel Sparse BLAS is
available from
<BR><code>http://www.ce.uniroma2.it/psblas</code>; version
3.3 (or later) is required. Indeed, all the prerequisites
listed so far are also prerequisites of PSBLAS.
</DD>
</DL>
Please note that the four previous libraries must have Fortran
interfaces compatible with MLD2P4;
usually this means that they should all be built with the same
compiler as MLD2P4.
