LAPACK has been designed to supersede LINPACK [26] and EISPACK [44][70] , principally by restructuring the software to achieve much greater efficiency, where possible, on modern high-performance computers; also by adding extra functionality, by using some new or improved algorithms, and by integrating the two sets of algorithms into a unified package.
Appendix D lists the LAPACK counterparts of LINPACK and EISPACK routines. Not all the facilities of LINPACK and EISPACK are covered by Release 2.0 of LAPACK.
