ARPACK

ARPACK is a collection of Fortran77 subroutines designed to solve large-scale eigenvalue problems. http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK

ATLAS

The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portable efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK. http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net

Harwell–Boeing

The Harwell–Boeing matrix format is a popular storage and description format for sparse matrix data, described at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/formats.html. Many examples of matrices in this format can be found at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/index.html.

Matrix Market

The Matrix Market matrix format provides a simple mechanism to facilitate the exchange of sparse and dense matrix data, described at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/formats.html. Many examples of matrices in this format can be found at http://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/index.html.
