The Harwell-Boeing collection of sparse matrices
The first recognized collection of sparse matrices is the
Harwell-Boeing Collection . This is a standard collection
of sparse matrices from a wide range of application areas. It comprises
291 matrices of order from 9 to 44609 and includes symmetric, unsymmetric,
rectangular, and unassembled matrices.
Although this collection is still widely used,
the matrices are not large by current standards
and more applications now give rise to sparse systems. Thus we
have developed the
Rutherford-Boeing Collection .
The Matrix Market
has an interface to the
Harwell-Boeing Collection that enables data on
the matrices, pictures etc to be generated.
The Harwell-Boeing Collection is also included within the
University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection .
All the matrices in the University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection
are available in the
Rutherford-Boeing format .
