abstract

SLES is a State-of-the-Art Linear Equations Solver package. This
subroutine library, callable from both Fortran and C, provides a simple and
consistent interface to advanced and efficient methods for solving both
sparse and dense systems of linear equations.
SLES allows applications to use both iterative and direct methods with the
same interface.
A version of SLES, PSLES, is currently being developed for distributed
memory parallel computers. Currently, it supports all Krylov methods,
direct factorization of dense matrices, and a few preconditioners.
