ScaLAPACK (or Scalable LAPACK) library includes a subset of LAPACK routines redesigned for distributed memory parallel computers using explicit message passing for interprocessor communication MPI or PVM.

The notation denotes a variable (such as directory name, file name, user name, etc.) that user has to substitute.

If a backslash (\) appears in a shell command, then it should be treated as a line continuation, i.e., it could be ignored if the user types in the shell command.

ROCKETCALC provides a shell script (along with source code) that installs ScaLAPACK. The following are the steps to install ScaLAPACK using the shell script.

  • Download the file scalapack-1.7-1-rocketcalc.tar.bz2.
  • Unpack the tarball file:
    tar jxf scalapack-1.7-1-rocketcalc.tar.bz2
    This will create directory scalapack-1.7-1-rocketcalc.
  • Change directory to scalapack-1.7-1-rocketcalc:
    cd scalapack-1.7-1-rocketcalc
  • Become root:
    su
    The user has to enter the root password. This step is not necessary. A regular user may install ScaLAPACK.
  • The user should move (or delete) old ScaLAPACK installation if he/she is planning to install it in the same location. The shell script will install ScaLAPACK in
    /scalapack/1.7
    The default value for is /usr/local.
  • Run the installation script:
    ./scalapackinstall
    This script will ask the user few questions and then will compile and install ScaLAPACK.
