Dear Tochnogers,

After continuing frustration over the inability of adjusting Superlu to =
work in a 64-bit environment, I started looking for options and found =
that both BLAS and LAPACK are included or are available for most modern =
64-bit systems. So I tried to incorporate the ability of using a fast =
64-bit library with Tochnog, and got it to work!!!!
Atached are the standard Tochnog files with the modifications necesary =
to use the LAPACK band solver dgbsv.=20

I have also included the OSX version of Tochnog which uses the =
Accelerate Framework which contains BLAS and LAPACK.=20

IF YOU ARE BUILDING FOR OTHER SYSTEM, PLEASE MODIFY THE MAKEFILE AND =
ADJUST IT TO INCLUDE THE LOCATION OF BLAS AND LAPACK FOR YOUR SYSTEM.

I have tested and it is significantly faster than the biconjugate solver =
which is the default solver.

PLEASE REMEMBER ALSO THAT THE SOLUTIONS OF THE EXAMPLES IN THE MANUAL =
AND WEBSITE WERE POSTED USING THE OLDER VERSION OF THE SOLVER. The Masin =
version saves the solution in the element and not the nodes. To get the =
same answers as shown in Tochnog's website, use=20

options_element_dof -no. The default option is -yes.

Enjoy and provide us with your feedback

Best regards,
