We sell an Out Of Core Fortran callable matrix math library that currently 
runs with NX2 and Linda. PVM is on our plate. The performance we get Out Of 
Core is typically 2 to 3 times what LinPack gets In Core. We have run  on 
several workstations as well as KSR and Cray YMP and C90. We can email you a 
Demo Driver that does a LU Decomp.; a Forward Reduction; a Back Substitution 
solving for an Identity Matrix to test out performance on your workstation. 

We are emerging from the development phase and would welcome input as to 
prioritization of the PVM interface.

If you would like the Demo Driver, please send me an email with your type of 
workstation, OS, and whether you want Complex or Real versions.
