  Description     : Recursive Sparse Blocks matrix computations library

This is a library for sparse matrix computations featuring the 
Recursive Sparse Blocks (RSB) matrix format. This format allows cache 
efficient and multi-threaded (that is, shared memory parallel) 
operations on large sparse matrices.  It provides the most common 
operations necessary to iterative solvers, like matrix-vector 
multiplication, triangular solution, rows/columns scaling, diagonal 
extraction / setting, blocks extraction, norm computation, formats 
conversion.  The RSB format is especially well suited for symmetric 
and transposed multiplication variants.

This package will be maintained collaborativelly by the debian-science 
team.  A preliminary version is available at:
