Parallelization Using SGI SCSL Subroutines

The SCSL library can be used in the development of new parallel programs or to modify existing code to take advantage of the parallel capabilities of SGI systems.  This library can be accessed using the library call "-lscs" or "-lscs_mp" to access the multi-processor version.  Most of the Level 2 BLAS, Level 3 BLAS, and FFT routines in the scs_mp library will run as parallel code when the problem size is sufficiently large to justify doing so.

Full documentation for SCSL, including a listing of the parallelized routines, is available with the man command, e.g.:

    man scsl
    man INTRO_LAPACK
    man INTRO_SOLVERS
    man INTRO_BLAS
    man INTRO_BLAS1
    man INTRO_BLAS2
    man INTRO_BLAS3
    man INTRO_CBLAS
    man INTRO_FFT
    man SRAND64

or using the  "man"  command followed by the name of the particular SCSL routine name, e.g.:

    man DGEMM
