>> itpack_test
These scripts invoke the PETSc, Aztec, and ITPACK interfaces and check the validity
of the computed solution.
Alternatively, the user can generate a series of Harwell Boeing matrix types (1-5),
using the generate.m script. To see a list of Harwell Boeing matrix types that can be
generated, type
>> generate(0);
And then call the functions petsc.m and/or aztec.m by typing
>> [A,rhs] = generate(1);
>> [x1,its1] = petsc(A,rhs);
>> [x2,its2] = aztec(A,rhs);
Note that the user can query for the list of arguments in the calling sequence to the
routine by using the NetSolve tool routine.

6.12. Optional: Testing the NetSolve
’sparse_direct_solve’ interface
The NetSolve ’sparse_direct_solve’ interface to MA28 and SuperLU can only be tested
if the user has enabled sparse_direct_solve in the $NETSOLVE_ROOT/server_config
file and has configured NetSolve with the respective paths to the SuperLU and MPI
libraries. The MA28 library is distributed with NetSolve in
$NETSOLVE_ROOT/src/SampleNumericalSoftware/MA28/ as a small
modification to the library was necessary to enable its use in NetSolve. The SuperLU
