2. Latest ScaLAPACK Errata

ScaLAPACK has been tested on a variety of architectures. However, keep in mind that we do not have access to every possible type of machine, and the regrettable bug report will appear. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our users, and strongly encourage users to post your query on the LAPACK forum if you suspect an abnormality.

3. Errata for ScaLAPACK Users' Guide

page

8:  Change to netlib format ( .tar.gz --> .tgz )
    Section 1.7 change scalapack.tar.gz -> scalapack.tgz
9:  Change to netlib format ( .tar.gz --> .tgz )
    Section 1.8 change manpages.tar.gz -> manpages.tgz
13-14:  Change to netlib format ( .tar.gz --> .tgz )
     Section 2.1, numerous references to .tar.gz files
     must be replaced by .tgz
14:  Change to netlib format ( .shar -> .tgz )
     http://www.netlib.org/blas/blas.shar
        should be changed to
     http://www.netilb.org/blas/blas.tgz
and
sh blas.shar
   should be changed to
gunzip -c blas.tgz | tar xvf -
20:  Typographical error in the 8th row of the coefficient
     matrix A.  The 8th row is listed as
      -s  -c  -a  -l  -a  -p  -a   c   k
      and should be replaced by:
      -s  +c  -a  -l  -a  -p  -a   c   k
Likewise, this correction must be propogated to the
8th row of Figure 2.1.
-s  +c  -a  -l  -a  -p  -a   c   k
72:  Section 4.4.2
In the text beginning "Table 4.10 illustrates ...",
it erroneously says NB=3.  This should be NB=8, as noted
in the caption of Table 4.10.
90:  Section 4.6.7, third paragraph
     inherit --> inherent
116:  Erroneous use of BLAS instead of BLACS in the first sentence
      of Section 5.4.1.  The first sentence should say:
"Users should choose vendor-supplied BLACS optimized for their
computer; these BLACS will be the fastest BLACS implementation."
