We describe an efficient implementation of an algorithm for computing selected elements of a general sparse symmetric matrix that can be decomposed as = , where is lower triangular and is diagonal. Our implementation, which is called , is built on top of an efficient supernodal left-looking factorization of . We discuss how computational efficiency can be gained by making use of a relative index array to handle indirect addressing. We report the performance of SelInv on a collection of sparse matrices of various sizes and nonzero structures. We also demonstrate how SelInv can be used in electronic structure calculations.
