*Version:* 1.8.0 *Release date:* April 5, 2007 link:scalapack-1.8.0.changes[*ScaLAPACK 1.8.0 Release Notes*] 2. Latest ScaLAPACK Errata
ScaLAPACK has been tested on a variety of architectures. However, keep in mind that we do not have access to every possible type of machine, and the regrettable bug report will appear. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our users, and strongly encourage users to post your query on the LAPACK forum if you suspect an abnormality.

20: Typographical error in the 8th row of the coefficient
matrix A. The 8th row is listed as
-s -c -a -l -a -p -a c k
and should be replaced by:
-s +c -a -l -a -p -a c k
Likewise, this correction must be propogated to the 8th row of Figure 2.1. -s +c -a -l -a -p -a c k
72: Section 4.4.2
In the text beginning "Table 4.10 illustrates ...", it erroneously says NB=3. This should be NB=8, as noted in the caption of Table 4.10.
90: Section 4.6.7, third paragraph
inherit --> inherent
116: Erroneous use of BLAS instead of BLACS in the first sentence
of Section 5.4.1. The first sentence should say:
"Users should choose vendor-supplied BLACS optimized for their computer; these BLACS will be the fastest BLACS implementation."
