Proposed sparse extensions to the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
David S. Dodson, John Gregg Lewis · ACM SIGNUM Newsletter · 1985
Many codes now exist for solving sparse linear systems: MA28 /4/, SPARSPAK /7/, the Yale Sparse Matrix Package /6/, and ICCG/ILU preconditioning /10/. It has been found that sparse matrix computations are useful in many fields. Furthermore, much effort is being expended in other sparse matrix computations such as sparse least squares and eigenvalue extraction.
