本文概述了 ScaLAPACK 的内容和性能，ScaLAPACK 是分布式内存计算机上用于线性代数计算的数学软件集合。讨论了开发计算和消息传递接口标准的重要性。我们介绍了 ScaLAPACK 的不同组件和构建块，并指出了为异构处理器网络生成正确代码所固有的困难。最后，本文简要描述了 ScaLAPACK 库的未来方向，并提出了数学库的替代方法，解释了如何将 ScaLAPACK 集成到高效且用户友好的分布式系统中。
This paper outlines the content and performance of ScaLAPACK, a collection of mathematical software for linear algebra computations on distributed memory computers. The importance of developing standards for computational and message passing interfaces is discussed. We present the different components and building blocks of ScaLAPACK, and indicate the difficulties inherent in producing correct codes for networks of heterogeneous processors. Finally, this paper briefly describes future directions for the ScaLAPACK library and concludes by suggesting alternative approaches to mathematical libraries, explaining how ScaLAPACK could be integrated into efficient and user-friendly distributed systems.
