Since the release of version 2.0 of the LAPACK software and the second edition of the Users’ Guide
in 1994, LAPACK has been expanded further and has become an even wider community effort. The
publication of this third edition of the Users’ Guide coincides with the release of version 3.0 of the
LAPACK software. Some of the software contributors to this release were not original LAPACK
authors, and thus their names have been credited in the routines to which they contributed.
