PLAPACK Server Interface (PSI)

Description

PSI is an interface that allows PLAPACK (Parallel Linear Algebra Package), executing computationally intense problems on a parallel architecture, to be accessed from a mathematical software environment. Third-party software runs on a workstation, while parallel computation is performed entirely on a separate massively parallel machine. Memory and CPU power can scale linearly allowing interactive software packages to solve even larger, more complex problems.

Benefits

• Inexpensive
• User-friendly
• Less user programming
• More complex problems solved in less time
• General purpose interface usable in a variety of third party packages and parallel machines

Features

• High performance by operating on submatrices and subvectors
• Application-centric data distribution

Market Potential/Applications

The intended users are scientists and engineers who work in such environments to prototype new algorithms for scientific applications.
