See the text in the public directory. It should answer your
question.

I notice that LAPACK has a lot of routines for banded matrices.  If
banded is not good enough then there are probably as many different
specialize methods for dealing with sparse systems as there are
problems to solve ... I don't know of any Ada packages for sparse
systems.
