+  Chameleon is a framework written in C which provides routines to
+solve dense general systems of linear equations, symmetric positive
+definite systems of linear equations and linear least squares
+problems, using LU, Cholesky, QR and LQ factorizations. Real
+arithmetic and complex arithmetic are supported in both single
+precision and double precision.
+
+  Chameleon is based on the PLASMA source code but is not limited
+to shared-memory environment and can exploit multiple GPUs.
+Chameleon is interfaced in a generic way with StarPU, PaRSEC,
+QUARK, OpenMP runtime systems. This feature allows to analyze in
+a unified framework how sequential task-based algorithms behave
+regarding different runtime systems implementations. Using Chameleon
+with StarPU or PaRSEC runtime systems allows to exploit GPUs through
+kernels provided by cuBLAS and clusters of interconnected nodes with
+distributed memory (using MPI).
+
+
+The default scheduler is set to OpenMP, if you want to use the StarPU
+you should set the environment variable STARPU=yes and install StarPU.
+
+For enabling MPI set the environment variable MPI=yes, this require
+a MPI implementation (openmpi or mpich).
