Abstract: This article outlines the content and performance of some of the ScaLAPACK
software. ScaLAPACK is 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 dierent components and building blocks of ScaLAPACK and provide initial
performance results for selected PBLAS routines and a subset of ScaLAPACK driver
routines.
