Availability of LAPACK

The complete LAPACK package or individual routines from LAPACK are freely available on netlib [44] and can be obtained via the World Wide Web or anonymous ftp.

The LAPACK homepage can be accessed on the World Wide Web via the URL address:

http://www.netlib.org/lapack/

Prebuilt LAPACK libraries are available on netlib for a variety of architectures.

http://www.netlib.org/lapack/archives/

The main netlib servers are:

Tennessee, U.S.A. http://www.netlib.org/
New Jersey, U.S.A. http://netlib.bell-labs.com/
Kent, UK http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/master/
Bergen, Norway http://www.netlib.no/
Each of these sites is the master location for some significant part of the netlib collection of software; a distributed replication facility keeps them synchronized nightly.

There are also a number of mirror repositories located around the world, and a list of these sites is maintained on netlib.

http://www.netlib.org/bib/mirrors.html

Most of the sites provide both ftp and http access. If ftp and http are difficult, a user may wish to send e-mail. E.g.,

echo ``send index from lapack'' | mail netlib@www.netlib.org

General information about LAPACK can be obtained by contacting any of the URLs listed above. If additional information is desired, feel free to contact the authors at lapack@cs.utk.edu.

The complete package, including test code and timing programs in four different Fortran data types, constitutes some 805,000 lines of Fortran source and comments.

Alternatively, if a user does not have internet access, netlib software, as well as other mathematical and statistical freeware, is available on CD-ROM from the following two companies.
