			SuperLU (Version 3.0)
			=====================

SuperLU is a general purpose library for the direct solution of large, 
sparse, nonsymmetric systems of linear equations on high performance 
machines. The library is written in C and is callable from either C or 
Fortran. The library routines will perform an LU decomposition with 
partial pivoting and triangular system solves through forward and back 
substitution. The LU factorization routines can handle non-square matrices 
but the triangular solves are performed only for square matrices. The 
matrix columns may be preordered (before factorization) either through 
library or user supplied routines. This preordering for sparsity is 
completely separate from the factorization. Working precision iterative 
refinement subroutines are provided for improved backward stability. 
Routines are also provided to equilibrate the system, estimate the 
condition number, calculate the relative backward error, and estimate 
error bounds for the refined solutions.
