  abstract = {In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the
  Platform Independent Parallel Solver (PIPSolver) package for the out-of-core
  (OOC) solution of complex dense linear systems. Our approach is unique in
  that it allows essentially all of RAM to be filled with the current portion
  of the matrix (slab) to be updated and factored, thereby greatly improving
  the computation to I/O ratio over previous approaches. This work could be
  viewed in part as an exercise in maximal code reuse: By formulating the OOC
  LU factorization just right, we managed to reuse essentially all of a very
  robust and efficient incore solver, leading directly to a very robust and
  efficient OOC solver. Experiences and performance are reported for the Cray
  T3D system.}
