README
======


Lis (Library of Iterative Solvers for linear systems, pronounced [lis]) 
is a parallel software library for solving discretized linear equations
and eigenvalue problems that arise in the numerical solution of partial
differential equations using iterative methods.


Lis provides facilities for:

* Automatic program configuration

* NUMA aware hybrid implementation with MPI and OpenMP

* Exchangeable dense and sparse matrix storage formats

* Basic linear algebra operations for dense and sparse matrices

* Parallel iterative methods for linear equations and eigenvalue problems

* Parallel preconditioners for iterative methods

* Quadruple precision floating point operations

* Performance analysis

* Command-line interface to solvers and benchmarks


The installation of Lis requires a C compiler. The Fortran interface
requires a Fortran compiler, and the algebraic multigrid preconditioner
requires a Fortran 90 compiler. For parallel computing environments, an
OpenMP or an MPI library is used. Both the Harwell-Boeing and Matrix
Market formats are supported to import and export user data.


See PDF files in directory doc for full description.
