At the time this guide was written, we did not yet optimize the PLAPACK infrastructure to the point where meaningful performance differences for the different approaches could be presented. For the latest on this algorithm and further examples of PLAPACK codes, see the PLAPACK web page: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/plapack/
We strongly suggest that users obtain the code presented in this chapter directly from those web pages to avoid typing errors, both on our and the users' part.
