In this paper we look at a number of approaches being investigated in the Center for Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC) to develop linear algebra soft ware for high-performance computers. These ap proaches are exemplified by the LAPACK, templates, and ARPACK projects. LAPACK is a software library for performing dense and banded linear algebra computa tions, and was designed to run efficiently on high-per formance computers. We focus on the design of the distributed-memory version of LAPACK, and on an ob ject-oriented interface to LAPACK.
