Normal equation binary file

The terms of the normal equations are stored in a direct access binary file. The file is organized as

  1. Normal equation terms
  2. Right hand side
  3. Reduced right hand side
  4. Solution vector
  5. Original diagonal terms
  6. Googe numbers

The proneqs file has a record for each normal equation column indicating the record number (heresi record terms) where the column is stored in the Normeqn file

The direct access file is divided into 2 areas. The first area has 1 record for each HERESI record of the normal equations. The normal equations are divided into a number of records determined by an optiminal size determined by the overall size of the normal equations as well as an optiminal record size for processing. There are 4 records for the terms listed above. The second part of the file contains blocks of the actual normal equation terms.

  1. Heresi record terms
  2. Normal equations terms(number of terms)(Stored as a number of blocks)
