MultiThreadedLU.jl

A multi-threaded LU implementation.

Install and test:

using Pkg
Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/MultiThreadedLU.jl")
Pkg.test("MultiThreadedLU")

Example:

using MultiThreadedLU, Random, LinearAlgebra

n = 1024
a = rand(n,n);
b = rand(n);
x = hpl_mt(a, b)
norm(a*x-b)

RecursiveFactorization.jl is a better optimized package and much more well tested. This package is mainly a proof of concept for an eventual large-scale distributed implementation.
