Information about the package, scalapack-common, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The scalapack-common package is designed for, Common files for scalapack.
Package Name:
scalapack-common
Summary:
Common files for scalapack
Description:
The ScaLAPACK (or Scalable LAPACK) library includes a subset of LAPACK routines redesigned for distributed memory MIMD parallel computers. It is currently written in a Single-Program-Multiple-Data style using explicit message passing for inter-processor communication. It assumes matrices are laid out in a two-dimensional block cyclic decomposition. ScaLAPACK is designed for heterogeneous computing and is portable on any computer that supports MPI or PVM. Like LAPACK, the ScaLAPACK routines are based on block-partitioned algorithms in order to minimize the frequency of data movement between different levels of the memory hierarchy. (For such machines, the memory hierarchy includes the off-processor memory of other processors, in addition to the hierarchy of registers, cache, and local memory on each processor.) The fundamental building blocks of the ScaLAPACK library are distributed memory versions (PBLAS) of the Level 1, 2 and 3 BLAS, and a set of Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms (BLACS) for communication tasks that arise frequently in parallel linear algebra computations. In the ScaLAPACK routines, all inter-processor communication occurs within the PBLAS and the BLACS. One of the design goals of ScaLAPACK was to have the ScaLAPACK routines resemble their LAPACK equivalents as much as possible. This package contains common files which are not specific to any MPI implementation.

yum info scalapack-common
This command will show you core information about the scalapack-common package.
yum deplist scalapack-common
This command will show you the dependencies for scalapack-common. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update scalapack-common
This command will check if there is an update waiting on scalapack-common. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
