This paper describes a package of linear algebra communication routines for manipulating and communicating 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 of the BLACS are mathematical software experts and people with large scale scientific computation to perform.
