+The ScaLAPACK (or Scalable LAPACK) library includes a subset of LAPACK routines
+redesigned for distributed memory MIMD parallel computers. It is currently
+written in a Single-Program-Multiple-Data style using explicit message
+passing for interprocessor communication. It assumes matrices are laid out
+in a two-dimensional block cyclic decomposition.
