                   Super Matrix Solver series,
                    the high-speed matrix solvers were developed
                    for acceleration and stabilization of calculations to solve
                    simultaneous linear equation systems in numerical analyses
                    such as CFD and structural analyses. 
            Modules that comprise the Super Matrix Solver series are based on
            various devices for high speed calculation. An example of such feature
            is an implementation of the latest technology for acceleration of
            iterative method that was commercialized by VINAS, which is based
            on the basic theory developed by the National Aerospace Laboratory
            of Japan (currently the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). 
            Super Matrix Solver series provide a line of solvers that are based
            on iterative or direct method, and those dedicated for boundary element
            method, from which the users may select a module that is most suitable
            for their applications.  |
