LAPACK95 Users' Guide

Abstract

Fortran has always been a principal Language in the field of scientific,numerical and engineering computing. A series of versions to thestandard defining successive versions of the language has progressivelyenhanced its power and kept it competitive with several generationsof rivals. The present Fortran standard is 95. The new features containedin Fortran 95 ensure that the Fortran language will continue to beused successfully for a long time to come.This book describes LAPACK95, yet another step in the developmentof {LAPACK}. LAPACK95 is a Fortran95 interface to the Fortran77 {LAPACK}Library. It is relevant for anyone who writes in the Fortran95 languageand needs reliable software for basic numerical linear algebra. Itmay be regarded as a sequel to, the official reference for {LAPACK}.This book explains how to obtain and install the LAPACK95 package,how to use it, and documents the performance of LAPACK95 on a varietyof computers.
