# BLACS directory
# =====
# This directory contains machine-specific versions of the
# BLACS ( Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms ). The
# platforms currently supported are:
# MPI,
# PVM,
# IBM SP series (MPL),
# Intel series (NX),
# SGI Power Challenge (MPI),
# Thinking Machines CM-5 (CMMD).
# Several vendors are producing optimized versions of the BLACS
# (e.g. Cray, IBM).
#
# ****
# NOTE: Pre-built BLACS libraries are now available!
