Third Party Scientific Libraries 1.4.0
=======================================
  Release Date:
  -------------
    March 20, 2014


  Purpose:
  --------
    The TPSL 1.4.0 release is supported on Cray XE, XK, and XC
    systems. TPSL is supported on the host CPU but not on the
    accelerator of Cray XK systems.

    The TPSL 1.4.0 release provides the following:
    * Compatibility with Cray LibSci 12.2.0
    * Update to SuperLU_dist 3.3
    * Update to Hypre 2.9
    * Update to Scotch 6.0


    TPSL (Third Party Scientific Libraries) contains a collection of
    outside mathematical libraries that can be used with PETSc and
    Trilinos. This module will increase the flexibility of PETSc and
    Trilinos by providing users with multiple options for solving
    problems in dense and sparse linear algebra. The cray-tpsl module is
    automatically loaded when PETSc or Trilinos is loaded. The libraries
    included are MUMPs, SuperLU, SuperLU_dist, ParMetis, Hypre,
    Sundials, and Scotch.

    * MUMPS 4.9.2. MUMPS (MUltifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct
      Solver) is a package of parallel, sparse, direct linear-system
      solvers based on a multifrontal algorithm. For further
      information, see http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/. MUMPS can now
      interface with SCOTCH as well.

    * SuperLU 4.3. SuperLU is a sequential version of SuperLU_dist and a
      sequential incomplete LU preconditioner that can accelerate the
      convergence of Krylov subspace iterative solvers. For further
      information, see http://crd.lbl.gov/~xiaoye/SuperLU/.

    * SuperLU_dist 3.3. SuperLU_dist is a package of parallel, sparse,
      direct linear-system solvers (available in Cray LibSci). For
      further information, see http://crd.lbl.gov/~xiaoye/SuperLU/.

    * ParMETIS 4.0.7. ParMETIS (Parallel Graph Partitioning and
      Fill-reducing Matrix Ordering) is a library of routines that
      partition unstructured graphs and meshes and compute fill-reducing
      orderings of sparse matrices. For further information, see
      http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis/.

    * HYPRE 2.9. HYPRE is a library of high-performance preconditioners
      that use parallel multigrid methods for both structured and
      unstructured grid problems (not included with petsc-complex). For
      further information, see http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/linear_solvers/.

    * SUNDIALS 2.5.0 (SUite of Nonlinear and DIfferential/ALgebraic
      equation Solvers) consists of 5 solvers: CVODE, CVODES, IDA, IDAS,
      and KINSOL.  In addition, SUNDIALS provides a MATLAB interface to
      CVODES, IDAS, and KINSOL that is called sundialsTB. For further
      information, see
      https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html.

    * Scotch 6.0. Scotch is a software package and libraries for
      sequential and parallel graph partitioning, static mapping, sparse
      matrix block ordering, and sequential mesh and hypergraph
      partitioning. For further information, see
      http://www.labri.fr/perso/pelegrin/scotch

  Notes and Limitations:
  ----------------------
    All source files and libraries that were built with releases prior
    to TPSL 1.4.0 must be re-linked with the new library to take
    advantage of new features and benefit from performance optimizations.
