Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Related to evolutions of the Mumps solver (see Section  5.1 ), and in order to continue funding two engineers while working on the design of a consortium of industrial users, we worked on the following contracts with industry, that were managed by CERFACS and INPT, respectively:

• Total/Hutchinson. In this contract, we worked more specifically on numerical aspects related to rank detection and null-space computations. This feature will be available in a future version of the solver.

• ESI-Group. We worked on modified pivoting strategies for hard symmetric indefinite problems. The proposed solutions could be validated by the industrial partner. This feature will be available in the next release of our package.
