AMD: a set of routines for permuting sparse matrices prior to
factorization. Includes a version in C, a version in Fortran, and a MATLAB
mexFunction.
Requires SuiteSparse_config, in the ../SuiteSparse_config directory relative to
this directory.
Quick start (Unix, or Windows with Cygwin):
To compile, test, and install AMD, you may wish to first configure the
installation by editting the ../SuiteSparse_config/SuiteSparse_config.mk
file. Next, cd to this directory (AMD) and type "make" (or "make lib" if
you do not have MATLAB). To compile and run a demo program for the Fortran
version, type "make fortran". When done, type "make clean" to remove
unused *.o files (keeps the compiled libraries and demo programs). See the
User Guide (Doc/AMD_UserGuide.pdf), or
../SuiteSparse_config/SuiteSparse_config.mk for more details.
To install do "make install"
Quick start (for MATLAB users);
To compile, test, and install the AMD mexFunction, cd to the
AMD/MATLAB directory and type amd_make at the MATLAB prompt.

Description:
AMD is a set of routines for pre-ordering sparse matrices prior to Cholesky
or LU factorization, using the approximate minimum degree ordering
algorithm. Written in ANSI/ISO C with a MATLAB interface, and in
Fortran 77.
