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.

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.

This is the AMD README file.  It is a terse overview of AMD.
Refer to the User Guide (Doc/AMD_UserGuide.pdf) for how to install
and use AMD.

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.
