ScaLAPACK achieves high performance on distributed memory computers,
such as the SP2, T3D, T3E, and Paragon. ScaLAPACK can also achieve
high performance on some networks of workstations<A NAME="3542"> </A><A NAME="3543"> </A><A NAME="3544"> </A><A NAME="3545"> </A>.
<P>
Distributed memory computers<A NAME="3546"> </A><A NAME="3547"> </A> are intended to be used primarily to run
parallel programs. They typically include an efficient message-passing system, a one-to-one mapping of processes to processors,
a gang scheduler<A NAME="3548"> </A> and a well-connected
communications network. Networks of workstations may be designed
primarily for use as individual workstations and may not have
all of these important features.
