The package includes the following libraries: AMD: approximate minimum degree ordering. -BTF: permutation to block triangular form (beta). CAMD: constrained approximate minimum degree ordering. COLAMD: column approximate minimum degree ordering. CCOLAMD: constrained column approximate minimum degree ordering. CHOLMOD: sparse Cholesky factorization. CXSparse: CSparse extended: complex matrix, int and long int support. -KLU: sparse LU factorization, primarily for circuit simulation. +KLU & BTF: sparse LU factorization, primarily for circuit simulation. LDL: a simple LDL^t factorization. SQPR: a multithread, multifrontal, rank-revealing sparse QR factorization method. UMFPACK: sparse LU factorization. -SuiteSparse_config: configuration file for all the above packages. RBio: read/write files in Rutherford/Boeing format. +GraphBLAS: graph algorithms in the language of linear algebra +Mongoose: graph partitioning +ssget: MATLAB and Java interface to the SuiteSparse Matrix Collection Suitesparse is an optional dependency for the octave package. -NOTES: - -* CHOLMOD is now compiled to use the METIS library. It was not -used previously because the licensing terms of earlier METIS -versions excluded it from Octave in some circumstances. Recent -versions of METIS now use the Apache License Version 2.0 and -should cause no problems. However if it is still desired to -build CHOLMOD without METIS, set the USEMETIS environment -variable to "no" when running the SlackBuild e.g. - USEMETIS=no sh suitesparse.SlackBuild - -* CXSparse is a superset of CSparse, and the two share common header +CXSparse is a superset of CSparse, and the two share common header names, so it does not make sense to build both. CXSparse is built by default. -* SlackBuilds.org also has all the parts of this suite as individual +SlackBuilds.org also has all the parts of this suite as individual builds - DO NOT try and install the individual parts and the suite; pick one or the other. |
