Abstract

In this paper, we describe a proposed set of linear algebra communication routines for communicating and manipulating data structures that are distributed among the memories of a distributed memory MIMD computer. The motivation for the BLACS is to increase portability, efficiency and modularity at a high level. The audience fo the BLACS are mathematical software experts and people with large scale scientific computation to perform. A systematic effort must be made to achieve a de facto standard for the BLACS.
