Based on MPI, UPC++ and GASNET libraries on distributed memory platforms.
Asynchronous task execution model.
Dynamic scheduling within each shared-memory node.

symPACK is a sparse symmetric matrix direct linear solver. It can be built using the following procedure.
First, download symPACK as follows:
git clone git@github.com:symPACK/symPACK.git /path/to/sympackSeveral environment variables can be optionally set before configuring the build:
METIS_DIR = Installation directory for MeTiS
PARMETIS_DIR = Installation directory for ParMETIS
SCOTCH_DIR = Installation directory for SCOTCH and PT-SCOTCHThen, create a build directory, enter that directory and type:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/sympack
...OPTIONS... /path/to/sympackThe ...OPTIONS... can be one of the following:
-DENABLE_METIS=ON|OFF to make MeTiS ordering available in symPACK (METIS_DIR must be set in the environment)
-DENABLE_PARMETIS=ON|OFF to make ParMETIS ordering available in symPACK (PARMETIS_DIR must be set in the environment, METIS_DIR is required as well)
-DENABLE_SCOTCH=ON|OFF to make SCOTCH / PT-SCOTCH orderings available in symPACK (SCOTCH_DIR must be set in the environment)Some platforms have preconfigured toolchain files which can be used by adding the following option to the cmake command:
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/sympack/toolchains/edison.cmake
(To build on NERSC Edison for instance)A sample toolchain file can be found in /path/to/sympack/toolchains/build_config.cmake and customized for the target platform.
The cmake command will configure the build process, which can now start by typing:
make
make installAdditionally, a standalone driver for symPACK can be built by typing make examples
