pbdBASE is a set of bindings to and extensions for the distributed linear algebra libraries BLACS, PBLAS, and ScaLAPACK. The package is very low-level, and unless you are very familiar with these libraries (or even if you are...), you are instead recommended to see the pbdDMAT and pbdDEMO packages.
pbdBASE requires
- A system installation of MPI
- R version 2.14.0 or higher
- The pbdSLAP and pbdMPI packages, as well as their dependencies.
The package can be installed from the CRAN via the usual
install.packages("pbdBASE")
, or via the devtools package:
library(devtools)
install_github("wrathematics/pbdBASE")
See the vignette for installation troubleshooting.
