8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
f08zef is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
f08zef makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
9Further Comments
The orthogonal matrices and may be formed explicitly by calls to f08aff and f08cjf respectively. f08agf may be used to multiply by another matrix and f08ckf may be used to multiply by another matrix.
This example solves the general Gauss–Markov linear model problem
where
The solution is obtained by first computing a generalized factorization of the matrix pair . The example illustrates the general solution process, although the above data corresponds to a simple weighted least squares problem.
Note that the block size (NB) of assumed in this example is not realistic for such a small problem, but should be suitable for large problems.
