How To Install psblas3-mpich on Rocky Linux 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install psblas3-mpich on Rocky Linux 8.
What is psblas3-mpich
The PSBLAS library, developed with the aim to facilitate the parallelization of computationally intensive scientific applications, is designed to address parallel implementation of iterative solvers for sparse linear systems through the distributed memory paradigm. It includes routines for multiplying sparse matrices by dense matrices, solving block diagonal systems with triangular diagonal entries, preprocessing sparse matrices, and contains additional routines for dense matrix operations. The current implementation of PSBLAS addresses a distributed memory execution model operating with message passing. This is a MPICH PSBLAS version.
