How To Install SuperLU on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install SuperLU on CentOS 8.
What is SuperLU
SuperLU contains a set of subroutines to solve a sparse linear system AX=B. It uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting (GEPP). The columns of A may be preordered before factorization; the preordering for sparsity is completely separate from the factorization.
