FREELY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE FOR LINEAR ALGEBRA ON THE WEB (April 2009)

Here is a list of freely available software for the solution of linear algebra problems. The interest is in software for high-performance computers that's available in “open source” form on the web for solving problems in numerical linear algebra, specifically dense, sparse direct and iterative systems and sparse iterative eigenvalue problems. Please let me know about updates and corrections.

Additional pointers to software can be found at:

http://www.nhse.org/rib/repositories/nhse/catalog/#Numerical_Programs_and_Routines

A survey of Iterative Linear System Solver Packages can be found at:
