Overview of Iterative Linear System Solver Packages
Chapter 1 Introduction
There are several freely available packages for the iterative solution
of linear systems of equations, typically derived from partial differential
equation problems. In this report I will give a brief description of a
number of packages, and give an inventory of their features and defining
characteristics.
The most important features of the packages are which iterative methods
and preconditioners supply; the most relevant defining characteristics
are the interface they present to the user's data structures, and their
implementation language.
