Summary: Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms

Description: 

The BLACS (Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms) project is an ongoing
investigation whose purpose is to create a linear algebra oriented message
passing interface that may be implemented efficiently and uniformly across a
large range of distributed memory platforms.

The length of time required to implement efficient distributed memory algorithms
makes it impractical to rewrite programs for every new parallel machine. The
BLACS exist in order to make linear algebra applications both easier to program
and more portable. It is for this reason that the BLACS are used as the
communication layer of ScaLAPACK.
