This result applies to=0A all matrices where $p$ and $q$ are proportional, $ p = lambda q$, with=0A $lambda geq 1$, thereby encompassing many important situations in=0A practice (least squares). We provide an extensive set of experiments that=0A show the superiority of the new algorithms for tall matrices. SUMMARY:Tiled QR factorization algorithms PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
