Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libsparskit-dev on Kali Linux.

What is libsparskit-dev

libsparskit-dev is:

SPARSKIT a basic tool-kit for sparse matrix computations. Sparskit is a general purpose FORTRAN-77 library for sparse matrix computations. It has been gathered over several years and includes some of the most useful tools for developing and implementing sparse matrix techniques, particularly for iterative solvers. If you need a simple routine for doing a sparse matrix operation (e.g., adding two sparse matrices, or reordering a sparse matrix) it is likely to be available in SPARSKIT. SPARSKIT also contains most of the iterative accelarators and a number of efficient preconditioners.
