+# Internal API Documentation
+
+This page documents LinearSolve.jl's internal API, which is useful for developers who want to understand the package's architecture, contribute to the codebase, or develop custom linear solver algorithms.
+
+## Abstract Type Hierarchy
+
+LinearSolve.jl uses a well-structured type hierarchy to organize different classes of linear solver algorithms:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.SciMLLinearSolveAlgorithm
+LinearSolve.AbstractFactorization
+LinearSolve.AbstractDenseFactorization
+LinearSolve.AbstractSparseFactorization
+LinearSolve.AbstractKrylovSubspaceMethod
+LinearSolve.AbstractSolveFunction
+```
+
+## Core Cache System
+
+The caching system is central to LinearSolve.jl's performance and functionality:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.LinearCache
+LinearSolve.init_cacheval
+```
+
+## Algorithm Selection
+
+The automatic algorithm selection is one of LinearSolve.jl's key features:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.defaultalg
+LinearSolve.get_tuned_algorithm
+LinearSolve.is_algorithm_available
+LinearSolve.show_algorithm_choices
+LinearSolve.make_preferences_dynamic!
+```
+
+### Preference System Architecture
+
+The dual preference system provides intelligent algorithm selection with comprehensive fallbacks:
+
+#### **Core Functions**
+- **`get_tuned_algorithm`**: Retrieves tuned algorithm preferences based on matrix size and element type
+- **`is_algorithm_available`**: Checks if a specific algorithm is currently available (extensions loaded)  
+- **`show_algorithm_choices`**: Analysis function displaying algorithm choices for all element types
+- **`make_preferences_dynamic!`**: Testing function that enables runtime preference checking
+
+#### **Size Categorization**
+The system categorizes matrix sizes to match LinearSolveAutotune benchmarking:
+- **tiny**: ≤20 elements (matrices ≤10 always override to GenericLU)
+- **small**: 21-100 elements  
+- **medium**: 101-300 elements
+- **large**: 301-1000 elements
+- **big**: >1000 elements
+
+#### **Dual Preference Structure**
+For each category and element type (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64):
+- `best_algorithm_{type}_{size}`: Overall fastest algorithm from autotune
+- `best_always_loaded_{type}_{size}`: Fastest always-available algorithm (fallback)
+
+#### **Preference File Organization**
+All preference-related functionality is consolidated in `src/preferences.jl`:
+
+**Compile-Time Constants**:
+- `AUTOTUNE_PREFS`: Preference structure loaded at package import
+- `AUTOTUNE_PREFS_SET`: Fast path check for whether any preferences are set
+- `_string_to_algorithm_choice`: Mapping from preference strings to algorithm enums
+
+**Runtime Functions**:
+- `_get_tuned_algorithm_runtime`: Dynamic preference checking for testing
+- `_choose_available_algorithm`: Algorithm availability and fallback logic
+- `show_algorithm_choices`: Comprehensive analysis and display function
+
+**Testing Infrastructure**:
+- `make_preferences_dynamic!`: Eval-based function redefinition for testing
+- Enables runtime preference verification without affecting production performance
+
+#### **Testing Mode Operation**
+The testing system uses an elegant eval-based approach:
+```julia
+# Production: Uses compile-time constants (maximum performance)
+get_tuned_algorithm(Float64, Float64, 200)  # → Uses AUTOTUNE_PREFS constants
+
+# Testing: Redefines function to use runtime checking
+make_preferences_dynamic!()
+get_tuned_algorithm(Float64, Float64, 200)  # → Uses runtime preference loading
+```
+
+This approach maintains type stability and inference while enabling comprehensive testing.
+
+#### **Algorithm Support Scope**
+The preference system focuses exclusively on LU algorithms for dense matrices:
+
+**Supported LU Algorithms**:
+- `LUFactorization`, `GenericLUFactorization`, `RFLUFactorization`
+- `MKLLUFactorization`, `AppleAccelerateLUFactorization`
+- `SimpleLUFactorization`, `FastLUFactorization` (both map to LU)
+- GPU LU variants (CUDA, Metal, AMDGPU - all map to LU)
+
+**Non-LU algorithms** (QR, Cholesky, SVD, etc.) are not included in the preference system
+as they serve different use cases and are not typically the focus of dense matrix autotune optimization.
+
+## Trait Functions
+
+These trait functions help determine algorithm capabilities and requirements:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.needs_concrete_A
+```
+
+## Utility Functions
+
+Various utility functions support the core functionality:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.default_tol
+LinearSolve.default_alias_A
+LinearSolve.default_alias_b
+LinearSolve.__init_u0_from_Ab
+```
+
+## Solve Functions
+
+For custom solving strategies:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.LinearSolveFunction
+LinearSolve.DirectLdiv!
+```
+
+## Preconditioner Infrastructure
+
+The preconditioner system allows for flexible preconditioning strategies:
+
+```@docs
+LinearSolve.ComposePreconditioner
+LinearSolve.InvPreconditioner

+## Developer Notes
+
+### Adding New Algorithms
+
+When adding a new linear solver algorithm to LinearSolve.jl:
+
+1. **Choose the appropriate abstract type**: Inherit from the most specific abstract type that fits your algorithm
+2. **Implement required methods**: At minimum, implement `solve!` and possibly `init_cacheval`
+3. **Consider trait functions**: Override trait functions like `needs_concrete_A` if needed
+4. **Document thoroughly**: Add comprehensive docstrings following the patterns shown here
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- The `LinearCache` system is designed for efficient repeated solves
+- Use `cache.isfresh` to avoid redundant computations when the matrix hasn't changed
+- Consider implementing specialized `init_cacheval` for algorithms that need setup
+- Leverage trait functions to optimize dispatch and memory usage
+
+### Testing Guidelines
+
+When adding new functionality:
+
+- Test with various matrix types (dense, sparse, GPU arrays)
+- Verify caching behavior works correctly
+- Ensure trait functions return appropriate values
+- Test integration with the automatic algorithm selection system

+# Algorithm Selection Guide
+
+LinearSolve.jl automatically selects appropriate algorithms based on your problem characteristics, but understanding how this works can help you make better choices for your specific use case.
+
+## Automatic Algorithm Selection
+
+When you call `solve(prob)` without specifying an algorithm, LinearSolve.jl uses intelligent heuristics to choose the best solver:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+
+# LinearSolve.jl automatically chooses the best algorithm
+A = rand(100, 100)
+b = rand(100)
+prob = LinearProblem(A, b)
+sol = solve(prob)  # Automatic algorithm selection
+```
+
+The selection process considers:
+
+- **Matrix type**: Dense vs. sparse vs. structured matrices
+- **Matrix properties**: Square vs. rectangular, symmetric, positive definite
+- **Size**: Small vs. large matrices for performance optimization  
+- **Hardware**: CPU vs. GPU arrays
+- **Conditioning**: Well-conditioned vs. ill-conditioned systems
+
+## Algorithm Categories
+
+LinearSolve.jl organizes algorithms into several categories:
+
+### Factorization Methods
+
+These algorithms decompose your matrix into simpler components:
+
+- **Dense factorizations**: Best for matrices without special sparsity structure
+  - `LUFactorization()`: General-purpose, good balance of speed and stability
+  - `QRFactorization()`: More stable for ill-conditioned problems
+  - `CholeskyFactorization()`: Fastest for symmetric positive definite matrices
+
+- **Sparse factorizations**: Optimized for matrices with many zeros
+  - `UMFPACKFactorization()`: General sparse LU with good fill-in control
+  - `KLUFactorization()`: Optimized for circuit simulation problems
+
+### Iterative Methods
+
+These solve the system iteratively without explicit factorization:
+
+- **Krylov methods**: Memory-efficient for large sparse systems
+  - `KrylovJL_GMRES()`: General-purpose iterative solver
+  - `KrylovJL_CG()`: For symmetric positive definite systems
+
+### Direct Methods
+
+Simple direct approaches:
+
+- `DirectLdiv!()`: Uses Julia's built-in `\` operator
+- `DiagonalFactorization()`: Optimized for diagonal matrices
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Dense Matrices
+
+For dense matrices, algorithm choice depends on size and conditioning:
+
+```julia
+# Small matrices (< 100×100): SimpleLUFactorization often fastest
+A_small = rand(50, 50)
+sol = solve(LinearProblem(A_small, rand(50)), SimpleLUFactorization())
+
+# Medium matrices (100×500): RFLUFactorization often optimal  
+A_medium = rand(200, 200)
+sol = solve(LinearProblem(A_medium, rand(200)), RFLUFactorization())
+
+# Large matrices (> 500×500): MKLLUFactorization, OpenBLASLUFactorization, or AppleAccelerate
+A_large = rand(1000, 1000) 
+sol = solve(LinearProblem(A_large, rand(1000)), MKLLUFactorization())
+# Alternative: OpenBLASLUFactorization() for direct OpenBLAS calls
+```
+
+### Sparse Matrices
+
+For sparse matrices, structure matters:
+
+```julia
+using SparseArrays
+
+# General sparse matrices
+A_sparse = sprand(1000, 1000, 0.01)
+sol = solve(LinearProblem(A_sparse, rand(1000)), UMFPACKFactorization())
+
+# Structured sparse (e.g., from discretized PDEs)
+# KLUFactorization often better for circuit-like problems
+```
+
+### GPU Acceleration
+
+For very large problems, GPU offloading can be beneficial:
+
+```julia
+# Requires CUDA.jl
+# A_gpu = CuArray(rand(Float32, 2000, 2000))
+# sol = solve(LinearProblem(A_gpu, CuArray(rand(Float32, 2000))), 
+#            CudaOffloadLUFactorization())
+```
+
+## When to Override Automatic Selection
+
+You might want to manually specify an algorithm when:
+
+1. **You know your problem structure**: E.g., you know your matrix is positive definite
+   ```julia
+   sol = solve(prob, CholeskyFactorization())  # Faster for SPD matrices
+   ```
+
+2. **You need maximum stability**: For ill-conditioned problems
+   ```julia
+   sol = solve(prob, QRFactorization())  # More numerically stable
+   ```
+
+3. **You're doing many solves**: Factorization methods amortize cost over multiple solves
+   ```julia
+   cache = init(prob, LUFactorization())
+   for i in 1:1000
+       cache.b = new_rhs[i]
+       sol = solve!(cache)
+   end
+   ```
+
+4. **Memory constraints**: Iterative methods use less memory
+   ```julia
+   sol = solve(prob, KrylovJL_GMRES())  # Lower memory usage
+   ```
+
+## Algorithm Selection Flowchart
+
+The automatic selection roughly follows this logic:
+
+```
+Is A diagonal? → DiagonalFactorization
+Is A tridiagonal/bidiagonal? → DirectLdiv! (Julia 1.11+) or LUFactorization  
+Is A symmetric positive definite? → CholeskyFactorization
+Is A symmetric indefinite? → BunchKaufmanFactorization
+Is A sparse? → UMFPACKFactorization or KLUFactorization
+Is A small dense? → RFLUFactorization or SimpleLUFactorization
+Is A large dense? → MKLLUFactorization, OpenBLASLUFactorization, or AppleAccelerateLUFactorization
+Is A GPU array? → QRFactorization or LUFactorization
+Is A an operator/function? → KrylovJL_GMRES
+Is the system overdetermined? → QRFactorization or KrylovJL_LSMR
+```
+
+## Custom Functions
+
+For specialized algorithms not covered by the built-in solvers:
+
+```julia
+function my_custom_solver(A, b, u, p, isfresh, Pl, Pr, cacheval; kwargs...)
+    # Your custom solving logic here
+    return A \ b  # Simple example
+end
+
+sol = solve(prob, LinearSolveFunction(my_custom_solver))
+```
+
+See the [Custom Linear Solvers](@ref custom) section for more details.
+
+## Tuned Algorithm Selection
+
+LinearSolve.jl includes a sophisticated preference system that can be tuned using LinearSolveAutotune for optimal performance on your specific hardware:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+using LinearSolveAutotune
+
+# Run autotune to benchmark algorithms and set preferences
+results = autotune_setup(set_preferences = true)
+
+# View what algorithms are now being chosen
+show_algorithm_choices()
+```
+
+The system automatically sets preferences for:
+- **Different matrix sizes**: tiny (≤20), small (21-100), medium (101-300), large (301-1000), big (>1000)
+- **Different element types**: Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64
+- **Dual preferences**: Best overall algorithm + best always-available fallback
+
+### Viewing Algorithm Choices
+
+Use `show_algorithm_choices()` to see what algorithms are currently being selected:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+show_algorithm_choices()
+```
+
+This shows a comprehensive analysis:
+- Current autotune preferences for all element types (if set)
+- Algorithm choices for all element types across all size categories
+- Side-by-side comparison showing Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64 behavior
+- System information (available extensions: MKL, Apple Accelerate, RecursiveFactorization)
+
+Example output:
+```
+📊 Default Algorithm Choices:
+Size       Category    Float32            Float64            ComplexF32         ComplexF64
+8×8        tiny        GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization
+50×50      small       MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization
+200×200    medium      MKLLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization
+```
+
+When preferences are set, you can see exactly how they affect algorithm choice across different element types.
+
+### Preference System Benefits
+
+- **Automatic optimization**: Uses the fastest algorithms found by benchmarking
+- **Intelligent fallbacks**: Falls back to always-available algorithms when extensions aren't loaded
+- **Size-specific tuning**: Different algorithms optimized for different matrix sizes
+- **Type-specific tuning**: Optimized algorithm selection for different numeric types

+# Automatic Algorithm Selection with LinearSolveAutotune
+
+LinearSolve.jl includes an automatic tuning system that benchmarks all available linear algebra algorithms on your specific hardware and automatically selects optimal algorithms for different problem sizes and data types. This tutorial will show you how to use the `LinearSolveAutotune` sublibrary to optimize your linear solve performance.
+
+The autotuning system provides comprehensive benchmarking and automatic algorithm selection optimization for your specific hardware.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The simplest way to use the autotuner is to run it with default settings:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+using LinearSolveAutotune
+
+# Run autotune with default settings
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# View the results
+display(results)
+
+# Generate performance plots
+plot(results)
+
+# Share results with the community (optional, requires GitHub authentication)
+share_results(results)
+```
+
+This will:
+- Benchmark algorithms for `Float64` matrices by default
+- Test matrix sizes from tiny (5×5) through large (1000×1000) 
+- Display a summary of algorithm performance
+- Return an `AutotuneResults` object containing all benchmark data
+
+## Understanding the Results
+
+The `autotune_setup()` function returns an `AutotuneResults` object containing:
+- `results_df`: A DataFrame with detailed benchmark results
+- `sysinfo`: System information dictionary
+
+You can explore the results in several ways:
+
+```julia
+# Get the results
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Display a formatted summary
+display(results)
+
+# Access the raw benchmark data
+df = results.results_df
+
+# View system information
+sysinfo = results.sysinfo
+
+# Generate performance plots
+plot(results)
+
+# Filter to see successful benchmarks only
+using DataFrames
+successful = filter(row -> row.success, df)
+```
+
+## Customizing the Autotune Process
+
+### Size Categories
+
+Control which matrix size ranges to test:
+
+```julia
+# Available size categories:
+# :tiny   - 5×5 to 20×20 (very small problems)
+# :small  - 20×20 to 100×100 (small problems)  
+# :medium - 100×100 to 300×300 (typical problems)
+# :large  - 300×300 to 1000×1000 (larger problems)
+# :big    - 1000×1000 to 15000×15000 (GPU/HPC scale, capped at 15000 for stability)
+
+# Default: test tiny through large
+results = autotune_setup()  # uses [:tiny, :small, :medium, :large]
+
+# Test only medium and large sizes
+results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:medium, :large])
+
+# Include huge matrices (for GPU systems)
+results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:large, :big])
+
+# Test all size categories
+results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:tiny, :small, :medium, :large, :big])
+```
+
+### Element Types
+
+Specify which numeric types to benchmark:
+
+```julia
+# Default: Float64 only
+results = autotune_setup()  # equivalent to eltypes = (Float64,)
+
+# Test standard floating point types
+results = autotune_setup(eltypes = (Float32, Float64))
+
+# Include complex numbers
+results = autotune_setup(eltypes = (Float64, ComplexF64))
+
+# Test all standard BLAS types
+results = autotune_setup(eltypes = (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64))
+
+# Test arbitrary precision (excludes some BLAS algorithms)
+results = autotune_setup(eltypes = (BigFloat,), skip_missing_algs = true)
+```
+
+### Benchmark Quality vs Speed
+
+Adjust the thoroughness of benchmarking:
+
+```julia
+# Quick benchmark (fewer samples, less time per test)
+results = autotune_setup(samples = 1, seconds = 0.1)
+
+# Default benchmark (balanced)
+results = autotune_setup(samples = 5, seconds = 0.5)
+
+# Thorough benchmark (more samples, more time per test)
+results = autotune_setup(samples = 10, seconds = 2.0)
+
+# Production-quality benchmark for final tuning
+results = autotune_setup(
+    samples = 20,
+    seconds = 5.0,
+    sizes = [:small, :medium, :large],
+    eltypes = (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64)
+)
+```
+
+### Time Limits for Algorithm Tests
+
+Control the maximum time allowed for each algorithm test (including accuracy check):
+
+```julia
+# Default: 100 seconds maximum per algorithm test
+results = autotune_setup()  # maxtime = 100.0
+
+# Quick timeout for fast exploration
+results = autotune_setup(maxtime = 10.0)
+
+# Extended timeout for slow algorithms or large matrices
+results = autotune_setup(
+    maxtime = 300.0,  # 5 minutes per test
+    sizes = [:large, :big]
+)
+
+# Conservative timeout for production benchmarking
+results = autotune_setup(
+    maxtime = 200.0,
+    samples = 10,
+    seconds = 2.0
+)
+```
+
+When an algorithm exceeds the `maxtime` limit:
+- The test is skipped to prevent hanging
+- The result is recorded as `NaN` in the benchmark data
+- A warning is displayed indicating the timeout
+- **The algorithm is automatically excluded from all larger matrix sizes** to save time
+- The benchmark continues with the next algorithm
+
+This intelligent timeout handling ensures that slow algorithms don't waste time on progressively larger matrices once they've proven too slow on smaller ones.
+
+### Missing Algorithm Handling
+
+By default, autotune expects all algorithms to be available to ensure complete benchmarking. You can relax this requirement:
+
+```julia
+# Default: error if expected algorithms are missing
+results = autotune_setup()  # Will error if RFLUFactorization is missing
+
+# Allow missing algorithms (useful for incomplete setups)
+results = autotune_setup(skip_missing_algs = true)  # Will warn instead of error
+```
+
+### Preferences Setting
+
+Control whether the autotuner updates LinearSolve preferences:
+
+```julia
+# Default: set preferences based on benchmark results
+results = autotune_setup(set_preferences = true)
+
+# Benchmark only, don't change preferences
+results = autotune_setup(set_preferences = false)
+```
+
+## GPU Systems
+
+On systems with CUDA or Metal GPU support, the autotuner will automatically detect and benchmark GPU algorithms:
+
+```julia
+# Enable large matrix testing for GPUs
+results = autotune_setup(
+    sizes = [:large, :big],
+    samples = 3,
+    seconds = 1.0
+)
+```
+
+GPU algorithms tested (when available):
+- **CudaOffloadFactorization**: CUDA GPU acceleration
+- **MetalLUFactorization**: Apple Metal GPU acceleration
+
+## Sharing Results with the Community
+
+The autotuner includes a telemetry feature that allows you to share your benchmark results with the LinearSolve.jl community. This helps improve algorithm selection across different hardware configurations.
+
+### Automatic Authentication
+
+**New in v2.0+**: LinearSolveAutotune now includes automatic authentication support! If you're not already authenticated, the system will offer to help you set up GitHub authentication when you run `share_results()`.
+
+```julia
+# Run benchmarks
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Share with the community - will prompt for authentication if needed
+share_results(results)
+```
+
+If you're not authenticated, you'll see:
+```
+🔐 GitHub authentication not found.
+   To share results with the community, authentication is required.
+
+Would you like to authenticate with GitHub now? (y/n)
+> 
+```
+
+Simply type `y` and follow the prompts to authenticate directly from Julia!
+
+### Manual Authentication Setup
+
+You can also set up authentication manually before sharing:
+
+#### Method 1: GitHub CLI (Recommended)
+
+The GitHub CLI is the easiest way to authenticate. LinearSolveAutotune will automatically use the GitHub CLI if it's installed, or fall back to a bundled version if not.
+
+1. **Install GitHub CLI (Optional)**
+   - macOS: `brew install gh`
+   - Windows: `winget install --id GitHub.cli`
+   - Linux: See [cli.github.com](https://cli.github.com/manual/installation)
+   
+   Note: If you don't have gh installed, LinearSolveAutotune includes a bundled version via `gh_cli_jll` that will be used automatically!
+
+2. **Authenticate**
+   ```bash
+   gh auth login
+   ```
+   Follow the prompts to authenticate with your GitHub account.
+
+3. **Verify authentication**
+   ```bash
+   gh auth status
+   ```
+
+#### Method 2: GitHub Personal Access Token
+
+1. Go to [GitHub Settings > Tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
+2. Add description: "LinearSolve.jl Telemetry"
+3. Select scope: `public_repo` (for commenting on issues)
+4. Click "Generate token" and copy it
+5. In Julia:
+   ```julia
+   ENV["GITHUB_TOKEN"] = "your_token_here"
+   ```
+
+### Sharing Your Results
+
+Once authenticated (either automatically or manually), sharing is simple:
+
+```julia
+# Run benchmarks
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Share with the community (with automatic authentication prompt)
+share_results(results)
+
+# Or skip the authentication prompt if not authenticated
+share_results(results; auto_login = false)
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Check for existing GitHub authentication
+2. Offer to set up authentication if needed (unless `auto_login = false`)
+3. Format your benchmark results as a markdown report
+4. Post the results as a comment to the [community benchmark collection issue](https://github.com/SciML/LinearSolve.jl/issues/725)
+5. Save results locally if authentication is unavailable
+
+### No GitHub CLI Required!
+
+LinearSolveAutotune now includes `gh_cli_jll`, which provides a bundled version of the GitHub CLI. This means:
+- You don't need to install gh separately
+- Authentication works on all platforms
+- The system automatically uses your existing gh installation if available, or falls back to the bundled version
+
+!!! info "Privacy Note"
+    - Sharing is completely optional
+    - Only benchmark performance data and system specifications are shared
+    - No personal information is collected
+    - All shared data is publicly visible on GitHub
+    - If authentication fails or is skipped, results are saved locally for manual sharing
+
+## Working with Results
+
+### Examining Performance Data
+
+```julia
+using DataFrames
+using Statistics
+
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Access the raw DataFrame
+df = results.results_df
+
+# Filter successful results
+successful = filter(row -> row.success, df)
+
+# Summary by algorithm
+summary = combine(groupby(successful, [:algorithm, :eltype]), 
+                 :gflops => mean => :avg_gflops,
+                 :gflops => maximum => :max_gflops)
+sort!(summary, :avg_gflops, rev=true)
+println(summary)
+
+# Best algorithm for each size category
+by_size = combine(groupby(successful, [:size_category, :eltype])) do group
+    best_row = argmax(group.gflops)
+    return (algorithm = group.algorithm[best_row],
+            gflops = group.gflops[best_row])
+end
+println(by_size)
+```
+
+### Performance Visualization
+
+Generate and save performance plots:
+
+```julia
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Generate plots (returns a combined plot)
+p = plot(results)
+display(p)
+
+# Save the plot
+using Plots
+savefig(p, "benchmark_results.png")
+```
+
+### Accessing System Information
+
+```julia
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# System information is stored in the results
+sysinfo = results.sysinfo
+println("CPU: ", sysinfo["cpu_name"])
+println("Cores: ", sysinfo["num_cores"])
+println("Julia: ", sysinfo["julia_version"])
+println("OS: ", sysinfo["os"])
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Benchmark Pipeline
+
+For complete control over the benchmarking process:
+
+```julia
+# Step 1: Run benchmarks without plotting or sharing
+results = autotune_setup(
+    sizes = [:medium, :large],
+    eltypes = (Float64, ComplexF64),
+    set_preferences = false,  # Don't change preferences yet
+    samples = 10,
+    seconds = 1.0
+)
+
+# Step 2: Analyze results
+df = results.results_df
+# ... perform custom analysis ...
+
+# Step 3: Generate plots
+p = plot(results)
+savefig(p, "my_benchmarks.png")
+
+# Step 4: Optionally share results
+share_results(results)
+```
+
+### Batch Testing Multiple Configurations
+
+```julia
+# Test different element types separately
+configs = [
+    (eltypes = (Float32,), name = "float32"),
+    (eltypes = (Float64,), name = "float64"),
+    (eltypes = (ComplexF64,), name = "complex64")
+]
+
+all_results = Dict()
+for config in configs
+    println("Testing $(config.name)...")
+    results = autotune_setup(
+        eltypes = config.eltypes,
+        sizes = [:small, :medium],
+        samples = 3
+    )
+    all_results[config.name] = results
+end
+```
+
+## Algorithm Selection Analysis
+
+You can analyze what algorithms are currently being chosen for different matrix sizes:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve
+
+# Show current algorithm choices and preferences
+show_algorithm_choices()
+```
+
+This displays:
+- Current autotune preferences for all element types (if any are set)
+- Algorithm choices for all element types across representative sizes in each category  
+- Comprehensive element type behavior (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64)
+- System information (MKL, Apple Accelerate, RecursiveFactorization status)
+
+The output shows a clear table format:
+```
+📊 Default Algorithm Choices:
+Size       Category    Float32            Float64            ComplexF32         ComplexF64
+8×8        tiny        GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization GenericLUFactorization
+200×200    medium      MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization MKLLUFactorization
+```
+
+## Preferences Integration
+
+The autotuner sets preferences that LinearSolve.jl uses for automatic algorithm selection:
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolveAutotune
+
+# Run autotune and set preferences
+results = autotune_setup(set_preferences = true)
+
+# View what algorithms are now being chosen
+using LinearSolve
+show_algorithm_choices()
+
+# View current preferences
+LinearSolveAutotune.show_current_preferences()
+
+# Clear all autotune preferences if needed
+LinearSolveAutotune.clear_algorithm_preferences()
+```
+
+After running autotune with `set_preferences = true`, LinearSolve.jl will automatically use the fastest algorithms found for each matrix size and element type, with intelligent fallbacks when extensions are not available.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Missing algorithms error**
+   ```julia
+   # If you get errors about missing algorithms:
+   results = autotune_setup(skip_missing_algs = true)
+   ```
+
+2. **GitHub authentication fails**
+   - Ensure gh CLI is installed and authenticated: `gh auth status`
+   - Or set a valid GitHub token: `ENV["GITHUB_TOKEN"] = "your_token"`
+   - Results will be saved locally if authentication fails
+
+3. **Out of memory on large matrices**
+   ```julia
+   # Use smaller size categories
+   results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:tiny, :small, :medium])
+   ```
+
+4. **Benchmarks taking too long**
+   ```julia
+   # Reduce samples and time per benchmark
+   results = autotune_setup(samples = 1, seconds = 0.1)
+   ```
+
+## Summary
+
+LinearSolveAutotune provides a comprehensive system for benchmarking and optimizing LinearSolve.jl performance on your specific hardware. Key features include:
+
+- Flexible size categories from tiny to GPU-scale matrices
+- Support for all standard numeric types
+- Automatic GPU algorithm detection

@@ -98,4 +98,67 @@ operators allow the user to define the `Ax=b` problem to be solved giving only t
 of `A*x` and allowing specific solvers (Krylov methods) to act without ever constructing
 the full matrix.
 
-**This will be documented in more detail in the near future**
+The Matrix-Free operators are provided by the [SciMLOperators.jl interface](https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLOperators/stable/).
+For example, for the matrix `A` defined via:
+
+```@example linsys1
+A = [-2.0 1 0 0 0
+     1 -2 1 0 0
+     0 1 -2 1 0
+     0 0 1 -2 1
+     0 0 0 1 -2]
+```
+
+We can define the `FunctionOperator` that does the `A*v` operations, without using the matrix `A`. This is done by defining
+a function `func(w,v,u,p,t)` which calculates `w = A(u,p,t)*v` (for the purposes of this tutorial, `A` is just a constant
+operator. See the [SciMLOperators.jl documentation](https://docs.sciml.ai/SciMLOperators/stable/) for more details on defining
+non-constant operators, operator algebras, and many more features). This is done by:
+
+```@example linsys1
+function Afunc!(w, v, u, p, t)
+    w[1] = -2v[1] + v[2]
+    for i in 2:4
+        w[i] = v[i - 1] - 2v[i] + v[i + 1]
+    end
+    w[5] = v[4] - 2v[5]
+    nothing
+end
+
+function Afunc!(v, u, p, t)
+    w = zeros(5)
+    Afunc!(w, v, u, p, t)
+    w
+end
+
+import SciMLOperators as SMO
+mfopA = SMO.FunctionOperator(Afunc!, zeros(5), zeros(5))
+```
+
+Let's check these are the same:
+
+```@example linsys1
+v = rand(5)
+mfopA*v - A*v
+```
+
+Notice `mfopA` does this without having to have `A` because it just uses the equivalent `Afunc!` instead. Now, even though
+we don't have a matrix, we can still solve linear systems defined by this operator. For example:
+
+```@example linsys1
+b = rand(5)
+prob = LS.LinearProblem(mfopA, b)
+sol = LS.solve(prob)
+sol.u
+```
+
+And we can check this is successful:
+
+```@example linsys1
+mfopA * sol.u - b
+```
+
+!!! note
+    
+    Note that not all methods can use a matrix-free operator. For example, `LS.LUFactorization()` requires a matrix. If you use an
+    invalid method, you will get an error. The methods particularly from KrylovJL are the ones preferred for these cases
+    (and are defaulted to).

+# LinearSolveAutotune.jl
+
+Automatic benchmarking and tuning for LinearSolve.jl algorithms.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve, LinearSolveAutotune
+
+# Run benchmarks with default settings (small, medium, and large sizes)
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# View a summary of results
+display(results)
+
+# Plot all benchmark results
+plot(results)
+
+# Share your results with the community (optional)
+share_results(results)
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Automatic Algorithm Benchmarking**: Tests all available LU factorization methods
+- **Multi-size Testing**: Flexible size categories from small to very large matrices
+- **Element Type Support**: Tests with Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64
+- **GPU Support**: Automatically detects and benchmarks GPU algorithms if available
+- **Performance Visualization**: Generate plots on demand with `plot(results)`
+- **Community Sharing**: Optional telemetry to help improve algorithm selection
+
+## Size Categories
+
+The package now uses flexible size categories:
+
+- `:tiny` - Matrices from 5×5 to 20×20 (very small problems)
+- `:small` - Matrices from 20×20 to 100×100 (small problems)
+- `:medium` - Matrices from 100×100 to 300×300 (typical problems)
+- `:large` - Matrices from 300×300 to 1000×1000 (larger problems)
+- `:big` - Matrices from 10000×10000 to 100000×100000 (GPU/HPC)
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Benchmarking
+
+```julia
+# Default: small, medium, and large sizes
+results = autotune_setup()
+
+# Test all size ranges
+results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:small, :medium, :large, :big])
+
+# Large matrices only (for GPU systems)
+results = autotune_setup(sizes = [:large, :big])
+
+# Custom configuration
+results = autotune_setup(
+    sizes = [:medium, :large],
+    samples = 10,
+    seconds = 1.0,
+    eltypes = (Float64, ComplexF64)
+)
+

+
+### Sharing Results
+
+After running benchmarks, you can optionally share your results with the LinearSolve.jl community to help improve automatic algorithm selection:
+
+```julia
+# Share your benchmark results
+share_results(results)
+```
+
+## Setting Up GitHub Authentication
+
+To share results, you need GitHub authentication. We recommend using the GitHub CLI:
+
+### Method 1: GitHub CLI (Recommended)
+
+1. **Install GitHub CLI**
+   - macOS: `brew install gh`
+   - Windows: `winget install --id GitHub.cli`
+   - Linux: See [cli.github.com](https://cli.github.com/manual/installation)
+
+2. **Authenticate**
+   ```bash
+   gh auth login
+   ```
+   Follow the prompts to authenticate with your GitHub account.
+
+3. **Verify authentication**
+   ```bash
+   gh auth status
+   ```
+
+### Method 2: GitHub Personal Access Token
+
+If you prefer using a token:
+
+1. Go to [GitHub Settings > Tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
+2. Add description: "LinearSolve.jl Telemetry"
+3. Select scope: `public_repo`
+4. Click "Generate token" and copy it
+5. In Julia:
+   ```julia
+   ENV["GITHUB_TOKEN"] = "your_token_here"
+   share_results(results, sysinfo, plots)
+   ```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Benchmarking**: The `autotune_setup()` function runs comprehensive benchmarks of all available LinearSolve.jl algorithms across different matrix sizes and element types.
+
+2. **Analysis**: Results are analyzed to find the best-performing algorithm for each size range and element type combination.
+
+3. **Preferences**: Optionally sets Julia preferences to automatically use the best algorithms for your system.
+
+4. **Sharing**: The `share_results()` function allows you to contribute your benchmark data to the community collection at [LinearSolve.jl Issue #725](https://github.com/SciML/LinearSolve.jl/issues/725).
+
+## Privacy and Telemetry
+
+- Sharing results is **completely optional**
+- Only benchmark performance data and system specifications are shared
+- No personal information is collected
+- All shared data is publicly visible on GitHub
+- You can review the exact data before sharing
+
+## API Reference
+

+  - Test algorithm compatibility with different element types
+  - Automatically manage MKL loading preference based on performance results
+
+!!! note "MKL Preference Management"
+    During benchmarking, MKL is temporarily enabled (if available) to test MKL algorithms.
+    After benchmarking, the LoadMKL_JLL preference is set based on whether MKL algorithms

+  - `seconds::Float64 = 0.5`: Maximum time per benchmark
+  - `eltypes = (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, ComplexF64)`: Element types to benchmark
+  - `skip_missing_algs::Bool = false`: If false, error when expected algorithms are missing; if true, warn instead

+    AbstractFactorization <: SciMLLinearSolveAlgorithm
+
+Abstract type for linear solvers that work by computing a matrix factorization.
+These algorithms typically decompose the matrix `A` into a product of simpler
+matrices (e.g., `A = LU`, `A = QR`, `A = LDL'`) and then solve the system
+using forward/backward substitution.
+
+## Characteristics
+
+  - Requires concrete matrix representation (`needs_concrete_A() = true`)
+  - Typically efficient for multiple solves with the same matrix
+  - Generally provides high accuracy for well-conditioned problems
+  - Memory requirements depend on the specific factorization type

+## Characteristics
+
+  - Optimized for matrices with many zero entries
+  - Often use specialized pivoting strategies to preserve sparsity
+  - May reorder rows/columns to minimize fill-in during factorization
+  - Typically more memory-efficient than dense methods for sparse problems

+
+## Characteristics
+
+  - Optimized for matrices with few zeros or no sparsity structure
+  - Leverage highly optimized BLAS/LAPACK routines when available

+
+Abstract type for iterative linear solvers based on Krylov subspace methods.
+These algorithms solve linear systems by iteratively building an approximation

+
+## Characteristics
+
+  - Does not require concrete matrix representation (`needs_concrete_A() = false`)
+  - Only needs matrix-vector products `A*v` (can work with operators/functions)
+  - Memory usage typically O(n) or O(kn) where k << n
+  - Convergence depends on matrix properties (condition number, eigenvalue distribution)
+  - Often benefits significantly from preconditioning
+
+## Advantages
+
+  - Low memory requirements for large sparse systems
+  - Can handle matrix-free operators (functions that compute `A*v`)
+  - Often the only feasible approach for very large systems
+  - Can exploit matrix structure through specialized operators

+
+  - `GMRESIteration`: Generalized Minimal Residual method

+  - `alg`: A linear solver algorithm instance
+
+## Returns
+
+  - `true`: Algorithm requires a concrete matrix (e.g., for factorization)
+  - `false`: Algorithm can work with abstract operators (e.g., matrix-free methods)

+## Usage

+    LinearCache{TA, Tb, Tu, Tp, Talg, Tc, Tl, Tr, Ttol, issq, S}
+
+The core cache structure used by LinearSolve for storing and managing the state of linear
+solver computations. This mutable struct acts as the primary interface for iterative 
+solving and caching of factorizations and intermediate results.
+
+## Fields
+
+- `A::TA`: The matrix operator of the linear system.
+- `b::Tb`: The right-hand side vector of the linear system.
+- `u::Tu`: The solution vector (preallocated storage for the result).
+- `p::Tp`: Parameters passed to the linear solver algorithm.
+- `alg::Talg`: The linear solver algorithm instance.
+- `cacheval::Tc`: Algorithm-specific cache storage for factorizations and intermediate computations.
+- `isfresh::Bool`: Cache validity flag for the matrix `A`. `false` means `cacheval` is up-to-date 
+  with respect to `A`, `true` means `cacheval` needs to be updated.
+- `precsisfresh::Bool`: Cache validity flag for preconditioners. `false` means `Pl` and `Pr` 
+  are up-to-date with respect to `A`, `true` means they need to be updated.
+- `Pl::Tl`: Left preconditioner operator.
+- `Pr::Tr`: Right preconditioner operator.
+- `abstol::Ttol`: Absolute tolerance for iterative solvers.
+- `reltol::Ttol`: Relative tolerance for iterative solvers.
+- `maxiters::Int`: Maximum number of iterations for iterative solvers.
+- `verbose::Bool`: Whether to print verbose output during solving.
+- `assumptions::OperatorAssumptions{issq}`: Assumptions about the operator properties.
+- `sensealg::S`: Sensitivity analysis algorithm for automatic differentiation.
+
+## Usage
+
+The `LinearCache` is typically created via `init(::LinearProblem, ::SciMLLinearSolveAlgorithm)` 
+and then used with `solve!(cache)` for efficient repeated solves with the same matrix structure
+but potentially different right-hand sides or parameter values.
+
+## Cache Management
+
+The cache automatically tracks when matrix `A` or parameters `p` change by setting the 
+appropriate freshness flags. When `solve!` is called, stale cache entries are automatically
+recomputed as needed.

+    defaultalg(A, b, assumptions::OperatorAssumptions)
+
+Select the most appropriate linear solver algorithm based on the matrix `A`, 
+right-hand side `b`, and operator assumptions. This is the core algorithm 
+selection logic used by LinearSolve.jl's automatic algorithm choice.
+
+## Arguments
+- `A`: The matrix operator (can be a matrix, factorization, or abstract operator)
+- `b`: The right-hand side vector
+- `assumptions`: Operator assumptions including square matrix flag and conditioning
+
+## Returns
+A `DefaultLinearSolver` instance configured with the most appropriate algorithm choice,
+or a specific algorithm instance for certain special cases.
+
+## Algorithm Selection Logic
+
+The function uses a hierarchy of dispatch rules based on:
+
+1. **Matrix Type**: Special handling for structured matrices (Diagonal, Tridiagonal, etc.)
+2. **Matrix Properties**: Square vs. rectangular, sparse vs. dense
+3. **Hardware**: GPU vs. CPU arrays
+4. **Conditioning**: Well-conditioned vs. ill-conditioned systems
+5. **Size**: Small vs. large matrices for performance optimization
+
+## Common Algorithm Choices
+
+- **Diagonal matrices**: `DiagonalFactorization` for optimal O(n) performance
+- **Tridiagonal/Bidiagonal**: Direct methods or specialized factorizations
+- **Dense matrices**: LU, QR, or Cholesky based on structure and conditioning
+- **Sparse matrices**: Specialized sparse factorizations (UMFPACK, KLU, etc.)
+- **GPU arrays**: QR or LU factorizations optimized for GPU computation
+- **Abstract operators**: Krylov methods (GMRES, CRAIGMR, LSMR)
+- **Symmetric positive definite**: Cholesky factorization
+- **Symmetric indefinite**: Bunch-Kaufman factorization
+
+## Examples
+
+```julia
+# Dense square matrix - typically chooses LU
+A = rand(100, 100)
+b = rand(100)
+alg = defaultalg(A, b, OperatorAssumptions(true))
+
+# Overdetermined system - typically chooses QR  
+A = rand(100, 50)
+b = rand(100)
+alg = defaultalg(A, b, OperatorAssumptions(false))
+
+# Diagonal matrix - chooses diagonal factorization
+A = Diagonal(rand(100))
+alg = defaultalg(A, b, OperatorAssumptions(true))
+```
+
+## Notes
+This function is primarily used internally by `solve(::LinearProblem)` when no
+explicit algorithm is provided. For manual algorithm selection, users can
+directly instantiate specific algorithm types.

+
+## Type Parameters
+- `P`: Pivoting strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables partial pivoting for stability.
+- `T`: Threading strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables multi-threading for performance.
+
+## Constructor Arguments
+- `pivot = Val(true)`: Enable partial pivoting. Set to `Val{false}` to disable for speed 
+  at the cost of numerical stability.
+- `thread = Val(true)`: Enable multi-threading. Set to `Val{false}` for single-threaded 
+  execution.
+- `throwerror = true`: Whether to throw an error if RecursiveFactorization.jl is not loaded.

+## Features
+- Reduced function call overhead compared to standard LAPACK wrappers
+- Optimized for performance-critical applications
+- Uses partial pivoting (no choice of pivoting method available)
+- Suitable for dense matrices where maximum performance is required
+
+## Limitations
+- Does not allow customization of pivoting strategy (always uses partial pivoting)
+- Requires FastLapackInterface.jl to be loaded
+- Limited to dense matrix types supported by LAPACK
+
+## Requirements
+Using this solver requires that FastLapackInterface.jl is loaded: `using FastLapackInterface`
+
+## Performance Notes
+This factorization is optimized for cases where the overhead of standard LAPACK
+function calls becomes significant, typically for moderate-sized dense matrices

+
+## Requirements
+This solver requires OpenBLAS to be available through OpenBLAS_jll.
+
+## Example
+```julia
+alg = OpenBLAS32MixedLUFactorization()
+sol = solve(prob, alg)
+```

+    RF32MixedLUFactorization{P, T}(; pivot = Val(true), thread = Val(true))
+
+A mixed precision LU factorization using RecursiveFactorization.jl that performs 
+factorization in Float32 precision while maintaining Float64 interface. This combines
+the speed benefits of RecursiveFactorization.jl with reduced precision computation
+for additional performance gains.
+
+## Type Parameters
+- `P`: Pivoting strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables partial pivoting for stability.
+- `T`: Threading strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables multi-threading for performance.
+
+## Constructor Arguments
+- `pivot = Val(true)`: Enable partial pivoting. Set to `Val{false}` to disable for speed 
+  at the cost of numerical stability.
+- `thread = Val(true)`: Enable multi-threading. Set to `Val{false}` for single-threaded 
+  execution.
+
+## Performance Notes
+- Converts Float64 matrices to Float32 for factorization
+- Leverages RecursiveFactorization.jl's optimized blocking strategies
+- Can provide significant speedups for small to medium matrices (< 500×500)
+- May have reduced accuracy compared to full Float64 precision
+
+## Requirements
+Using this solver requires that RecursiveFactorization.jl is loaded: `using RecursiveFactorization`
+
+## Example
+```julia
+using RecursiveFactorization
+# Fast mixed precision with pivoting
+alg1 = RF32MixedLUFactorization()
+# Fastest mixed precision (no pivoting), less stable
+alg2 = RF32MixedLUFactorization(pivot=Val(false))

+OpenBLASLUFactorization()
+```
+
+A direct wrapper over OpenBLAS's LU factorization (`getrf!` and `getrs!`).
+This solver makes direct calls to OpenBLAS_jll without going through Julia's
+libblastrampoline, which can provide performance benefits in certain configurations.
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+  - Pre-allocates workspace to avoid allocations during solving
+  - Makes direct `ccall`s to OpenBLAS routines
+  - Can be faster than `LUFactorization` when OpenBLAS is well-optimized for the hardware
+  - Supports `Float32`, `Float64`, `ComplexF32`, and `ComplexF64` element types
+
+## When to Use
+
+  - When you want to ensure OpenBLAS is used regardless of the system BLAS configuration
+  - When benchmarking shows better performance than `LUFactorization` on your specific hardware
+  - When you need consistent behavior across different systems (always uses OpenBLAS)
+
+## Example
+
+```julia
+using LinearSolve, LinearAlgebra
+
+A = rand(100, 100)
+b = rand(100)
+prob = LinearProblem(A, b)
+sol = solve(prob, OpenBLASLUFactorization())

 # Tooling Preconditioners
 
+"""
+    ComposePreconditioner{Ti, To}
+
+A preconditioner that composes two preconditioners by applying them sequentially.
+The inner preconditioner is applied first, followed by the outer preconditioner.
+This allows for building complex preconditioning strategies by combining simpler ones.
+
+## Fields
+- `inner::Ti`: The inner (first) preconditioner to apply
+- `outer::To`: The outer (second) preconditioner to apply
+
+## Usage
+
+```julia
+# Compose a diagonal preconditioner with an ILU preconditioner
+inner_prec = DiagonalPreconditioner(diag(A))
+outer_prec = ILUFactorization()  
+composed = ComposePreconditioner(inner_prec, outer_prec)
+```
+
+The composed preconditioner applies: `outer(inner(x))` for any vector `x`.
+
+## Mathematical Interpretation
+
+For a linear system `Ax = b`, if `P₁` is the inner and `P₂` is the outer preconditioner,
+then the composed preconditioner effectively applies `P₂P₁` as the combined preconditioner.

+"""
+    InvPreconditioner{T}
+
+A preconditioner wrapper that treats a matrix or operator as if it represents
+the inverse of the actual preconditioner. Instead of solving `Px = y`, it 
+computes `P*y` where `P` is stored as the "inverse" preconditioner matrix.
+
+## Fields
+- `P::T`: The stored preconditioner matrix/operator (representing `P⁻¹`)
+
+## Usage
+
+This is useful when you have a matrix that approximates the inverse of your
+desired preconditioner. For example, if you have computed an approximate 
+inverse matrix `Ainv ≈ A⁻¹`, you can use:
+
+```julia
+prec = InvPreconditioner(Ainv)
+```
+
+## Mathematical Interpretation
+
+For a linear system `Ax = b` with preconditioner `M`, normally we solve `M⁻¹Ax = M⁻¹b`.
+With `InvPreconditioner`, the stored matrix `P` represents `M⁻¹` directly, so
+applying the preconditioner becomes a matrix-vector multiplication rather than
+a linear solve.
+
+## Methods
+
+- `ldiv!(A::InvPreconditioner, x)`: Computes `x ← P*x` (in-place)
+- `ldiv!(y, A::InvPreconditioner, x)`: Computes `y ← P*x`  
+- `mul!(y, A::InvPreconditioner, x)`: Computes `y ← P⁻¹*x` (inverse operation)

+    LUSolver{T}
+
+A mutable workspace for performing LU factorization and solving linear systems.
+This struct maintains all necessary arrays and state information for the 
+factorization and solve phases, allowing for efficient reuse when solving
+multiple systems with the same matrix structure.
+
+## Fields
+- `n::Int`: Dimension of the square matrix
+- `A::Matrix{T}`: Working copy of the matrix to be factorized (modified in-place)
+- `b::Vector{T}`: Right-hand side vector storage
+- `x::Vector{T}`: Solution vector storage  
+- `pivots::Vector{Int}`: Pivot indices from the factorization
+- `perms::Vector{Int}`: Permutation vector tracking row exchanges
+- `info::Int`: Status information (0 = success, >0 indicates singularity)
+
+## Constructor
+```julia
+LUSolver{T}(n)  # Create solver for n×n matrix with element type T
+```
+
+## Usage
+The solver is typically created from a matrix using the convenience constructors:
+```julia
+solver = LUSolver(A)        # From matrix A
+solver = LUSolver(A, b)     # From matrix A and RHS b
+```
+
+Then factorized and solved:
+```julia
+simplelu_factorize!(solver)    # Perform LU factorization
+simplelu_solve!(solver)        # Solve for the stored RHS
+```
+
+## Notes
+This is a pure Julia implementation primarily for educational purposes and
+small matrices. For production use, prefer optimized LAPACK-based factorizations.

-`SimpleLUFactorization(pivot::Bool = true)`
-
-A simple LU-factorization implementation without BLAS. Fast for small matrices.
-
-## Positional Arguments
-
-  - pivot::Bool: whether to perform pivoting. Defaults to `true`
+    SimpleLUFactorization(pivot::Bool = true)
+
+A pure Julia LU factorization implementation without BLAS dependencies.
+This solver is optimized for small matrices and situations where BLAS 
+is not available or desirable.
+
+## Constructor Arguments
+- `pivot::Bool = true`: Whether to perform partial pivoting for numerical stability.
+  Set to `false` for slightly better performance at the cost of stability.
+
+## Features
+- Pure Julia implementation (no BLAS dependencies)
+- Partial pivoting support for numerical stability
+- In-place matrix modification for memory efficiency  
+- Fast for small matrices (typically < 100×100)
+- Educational value for understanding LU factorization
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+- Optimal for small dense matrices
+- No overhead from BLAS calls
+- Linear scaling with problem size (O(n³) operations)
+- Memory efficient due to in-place operations
+
+## Use Cases
+- Small matrices where BLAS overhead is significant
+- Systems without optimized BLAS libraries
+- Educational and prototyping purposes
+- Embedded systems with memory constraints
+
+## Example
+```julia
+# Stable version with pivoting (default)
+alg1 = SimpleLUFactorization()
+# Faster version without pivoting
+alg2 = SimpleLUFactorization(false)
+
+prob = LinearProblem(A, b)
+sol = solve(prob, alg1)
+```
+
+## Notes
+For larger matrices (> 100×100), consider using BLAS-based factorizations 
+like `LUFactorization()` for better performance.

+
+## Fields
+- `solve_func::F`: A callable that implements the custom linear solving logic
+
+## Function Signature
+
+The wrapped function should have the signature:
+```julia

+```
+
+## Arguments to wrapped function
+- `A`: The matrix operator of the linear system  
+- `b`: The right-hand side vector
+- `u`: Pre-allocated solution vector (can be used as working space)
+- `p`: Parameters passed to the solver
+- `isfresh`: Boolean indicating if the matrix `A` has changed since last solve
+- `Pl`: Left preconditioner operator
+- `Pr`: Right preconditioner operator  
+- `cacheval`: Algorithm-specific cache storage
+- `kwargs...`: Additional keyword arguments
+
+## Returns
+The wrapped function should return a solution vector.
