When the user sends e-mail to our mailing alias, some of the first questions we will ask are the following:

  1. Have you run the BLAS, BLACS, PBLAS and ScaLAPACK test suites?
  2. Have you checked the errata lists (errata.scalapack and errata.blacs) on netlib?
    http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/errata.scalapack
    http://www.netlib.org/blacs/errata.blacs
  3. If you are using an optimized BLAS or BLACS library, have you tried using the reference implementations from netlib?
    http://www.netlib.org/blas/
    http://www.netlib.org/blacs/
  4. If you are using an optimized MPI or PVM library, have you tried using the reference implementations from netlib?
    http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/

  5. Have you attempted to replicate this error using the appropriate ScaLAPACK test code and/or one of the ScaLAPACK example routines?
