# Routines for Matrix Equilibration

ScaLAPACK routines described in this section are used to compute scaling factors needed to equilibrate a matrix. Note that these routines do not actually scale the matrices.

- p?geequ
  Computes row and column scaling factors intended to equilibrate a general rectangular distributed matrix and reduce its condition number.
- p?poequ
  Computes row and column scaling factors intended to equilibrate a symmetric (Hermitian) positive definite distributed matrix and reduce its condition number.
