This chapter presents performance numbers for ScaLAPACK
routines. The numbers are provided <EM>for illustration only</EM>
and <EM>should not</EM> be regarded as a definitive up-to-date statement of
performance. They have been selected from performance numbers
obtained in 1996-1997 during the development of version 1.4 of
ScaLAPACK. To obtain up-to-date performance figures, users should use
the timing programs provided with ScaLAPACK.
