SYNOPSIS
x{eig,lin}{tst,tim}{s,d,c,z} < parameter file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the lapack testing programs. This
manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because
the original programs do not have manual pages.
lapack is a library of common linear algebra routines, which in turn
makes use of the basic linear algebra primitives supplied by the blas
application programming interface. In general, one cannot use the
lapack library without a blas compatible library on the system.
The testing binaries (those with "tst" in the program name) check the
integrity of the eigen and linear equation routines ("eig" and "lin"
stems in program name, respectively) in each of four precisions: single
precision real, double precision real, single precision complex, and
double precision complex (program suffixes "s","d","c", and "z"
respectively).
All of these programs take as input a parameter file which specifies
the range of matrix sizes and types used in each test. Sample input
files can be found in /usr/share/doc/lapack-test/examples.
On Debian systems, these programs are dynamically linked against both
blas and lapack libraries. This enables the user to test and compare
alternate versions of these libraries, such as those provided by atlas,
through the use of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD environment
variables. One can confirm the versions of the libraries being tested
in a given environment with the aid of the ldd program.
OPTIONS
These programs take no command line options.
