### $\mathbf{UDU}^\top$ decomposition routines in LAPACK/Eigen?

I would like to compute the decomposition of a real symmetric positive definite matrix $\mathbf{A} = \mathbf{UDU}^\top$. LINPACK seems to have it as DSIFA, but I ...

### Magma vs. Plasma

I'm having a difficult time understanding the difference between the linear algebra packages MAGMA and PLASMA from just a quick glance. It looks like MAGMA is oriented towards GPU's and vector ...

### What are the fastest available implementations of BLAS/LAPACK or other linear algebra routines on GPU systems?

nVidia, for example, has CUBLAS, which promises 7-14x speedup. Naively, this is nowhere near the theoretical throughput of any of nVidia's GPU cards. What are the challenges in speeding up linear ...

### BLAS/LAPACK subroutine to add two matrices with different offsets and leading dimensions

I currently searching for a subroutine from BLAS or LAPACK which realizes the following operation A = alpha*A + beta * B where A and B have different leading ...

### Efficient computation of the extension of a linear basis to completion when the basis is almost complete (ideally using LAPACK routines)

I have a $p \times n$ matrix $B$ (where $n < p$) with orthonormal columns and would like to find a numerically efficient way to extend this matrix to get a complete $p$-dimensional orthonormal ...

### Understanding how Numpy does SVD

I have been using different methods to calculate both the rank of a matrix and the solution of a matrix system of equations. I came across the function linalg.svd. Comparing this to my own effort of ...

### Matrix exponential of a real asymmetric matrix with Fortran 95 and LAPACK

I recently asked a question along the same lines for skew-Hermitian matrices. Inspired by the success of that question, and after banging my head against a wall for a couple of hours, I'm looking at ...
