ScaLAPACK Software Components

 

The following figure describes the ScaLAPACK software hierarchy. The components below the line, labeled Local, are called on a single processor, with arguments stored on single processors only. The components above the line, labeled Global, are synchronous parallel routines, whose arguments include matrices and vectors distributed in a 2D block cyclic layout across multiple processors. We describe each component in turn.
