<P>
The PSBLAS library consists of various classes of subroutines:
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>Computational routines</STRONG></DT>
<DD>comprising:
<UL>
<LI>Sparse matrix by dense matrix product;
</LI>
<LI>Sparse triangular
systems solution for block diagonal matrices;
</LI>
<LI>Vector and matrix norms;
</LI>
<LI>Dense matrix sums;
</LI>
<LI>Dot products.
</LI>
</UL>
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Communication routines</STRONG></DT>
<DD>handling halo and overlap
communications;
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Data management and auxiliary routines</STRONG></DT>
<DD>including:
<UL>
<LI>Parallel environment management
</LI>
<LI>Communication descriptors allocation;
</LI>
<LI>Dense and sparse matrix allocation;
</LI>
<LI>Dense and sparse matrix build and update;
</LI>
<LI>Sparse matrix and data distribution preprocessing.
</LI>
</UL>
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Preconditioner routines</STRONG></DT>
<DD>
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>Iterative methods</STRONG></DT>
<DD>a subset of Krylov subspace iterative
methods
</DD>
</DL>
The following naming scheme has been adopted for all the symbols
internally defined in the PSBLAS software package:
<UL>
<LI>all the symbols (i.e. subroutine names, data types...) are
prefixed by <code>psb_</code>
</LI>
<LI>all the data type names are suffixed by <code>_type</code>
</LI>
<LI>all the constant values are suffixed by <code>_</code>
</LI>
<LI>all the subroutine names follow the rule <code>psb_xxname</code> where
<code>xx</code> can be either:
<UL>
<LI><code>ge</code>: the routine is related to dense data,
</LI>
<LI><code>sp</code>: the routine is related to sparse data,
</LI>
<LI><code>cd</code>: the routine is related to communication descriptor
(see&nbsp;<A HREF="node8.html#sec:datastruct">3</A>).
</LI>
</UL>
For example the <code>psb_geins</code>, <code>psb_spins</code> and
<code>psb_cdins</code> perform the same action (see&nbsp;<A HREF="node42.html#sec:toolsrout">6</A>) on
dense matrices, sparse matrices and communication descriptors
respectively.
Interface overloading allows the usage of the same subroutine
interfaces for both real and complex data.
</LI>
</UL>
In the description of the subroutines, arguments or argument entries
are classified as:
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>global</STRONG></DT>
<DD>For input arguments, the value must be the same on all processes
participating in the subroutine call; for output arguments the value
is guaranteed to be the same.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG>local</STRONG></DT>
<DD>Each process has its own value(s) independently.
</DD>
</DL>
