Parallelism

  

The nested loop structure of most linear algebra algorithms offers considerable scope for loop-based parallelism on shared memory machines. This is the principal type of parallelism that LAPACK at present aims to exploit. It can sometimes be generated automatically by a compiler, but often requires the insertion of compiler directives .
