Please see our page of important info about ShARC’s decommissioning.

ScaLAPACK

ScaLAPACK is a library of high-performance linear algebra routines for parallel distributed memory machines. ScaLAPACK solves:

Dense and banded linear systems
Least squares problems
Eigenvalue problems
Singular value problems

Usage

ScaLAPACK can be activated in several ways.

To load ScaLAPACK plus

a version of OpenBLAS,
and the gompi or gompic toolchain

run one of the following:

module load ScaLAPACK/2.0.2-gompi-2019b
module load ScaLAPACK/2.0.2-gompi-2019a-OpenBLAS-0.3.5
module load ScaLAPACK/2.0.2-gompi-2018b-OpenBLAS-0.3.1
module load ScaLAPACK/2.0.2-gompic-2019b
module load ScaLAPACK/2.0.2-gompic-2019a-OpenBLAS-0.3.5

Note that all load OpenBLAS, despite the change in the module naming convention for more recent toolchains.
