Abstract
In this paper we look at a number of approaches being investigated in the Center for Research on Parallel computation (CRPC) to develop line ar algebra software for high-performance computers. These approaches a re exemplified by the LAPACK, templates, and ARPACK projects. LAPACK i s a software library for performing dense and banded linear algebra co mputations, and was designed to run efficiently on high-performance co mputers. We focus on the design of the distributed-memory version of L APACK, and on an object-oriented interface to LAPACK.
