| This is the READ.ME for the SGEFA/SGESL package. |
| |
| SGEFA is a gaussian elimination (with partial pivoting) |
| package written in C (single precision). It is a translation from the |
| FORTRAN LINPACK routines of the same names. The matrix data structure |
| was modified to account for the conventions of C. That is, all |
| elements of the matrix are referenced from 0 instead of 1 and the |
| matrix is stored as a series of vectors (which are the columns). The |
| matrix data structure is defined in ge.h. The user must supply the |
| storage for the columns of the matrix by calls to the standard UNIX |
| memory allocation routine MALLOC. See the matgen routine in driver.c |
| for an example. The necessary BLAS routines are included in blas.c. |
| Easy access to the matrix elements can be had by looking at the elem |
| and pelem macros defined in ge.h. |
| |
| A sample output (from a Sun-3/160 workstation with FPA) is |
| included in the file sgefat.out |
