SuiteSparseQR is an implementation of the multifrontal sparse QR
-factorization method. Parallelism is exploited both in the BLAS and
-across different frontal matrices using Intel's Threading Building Blocks,
-a shared-memory programming model for modern multicore
+factorization method. Parallelism is exploited both in the BLAS and
+across different frontal matrices using Intel's Threading Building
+Blocks, a shared-memory programming model for modern multicore
architectures. It can obtain a substantial fraction of the
theoretical peak performance of a multicore computer.
This package is part of SuiteSparse.
