Abstract

We discuss Oblio, our library for solving sparse symmetric linear systems of equations by direct methods. The code was implemented with two goals in mind: efficiency and flexibility. These were achieved through careful design, combining good algorithmic techniques with modern software engineering. Here we describe the major design issues and we illustrate the performance of the library.
