Solver for general full matrices. More...

#include <pgesv.hpp>

Detailed Description

Solver for general full matrices.

It solves the system of linear equations A * X = B with a full general matrix A. The matrix A is stored in a N x N block. The matrix B is stored in a N x NRHS block.

The example usage can be seen as follows.
