LINPACK
LINPACK is an old (1979) library of Fortran 77 routines for solving
common problems in numerical linear algebra: linear systems of equations,
eigenvalues and eigenvectors, linear least squares, and singular value
decomposition.
Recommendation: Use LAPACK instead of
LINPACK. LAPACK is modern (1990) and is intended to replace LINPACK.
-
Documentation: usage instructions are available as comment lines in
netlib's linpack directory.
Library overview documentation is available as the readme file in
netlib's linpack directory. The
"LAPACK Users' Guide"
has an index Converting from EISPACK or LINPACK which users find
helpful.
-
Source code: you may obtain Fortran source from netlib's linpack directory.
-
NCAR users: the LINPACK binary library is available to NCAR computer users,
for linking with Fortran programs, on some of SCD's compute-servers. See
"SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers.
If you have questions about linking the binary library on these NCAR systems,
please see
"Linking SCD's Local Fortran Math Libraries".
