QRF, also known as QR decomposition, is a decomposition of a matrix \(A\) into a product of an orthogonal matrix \(Q\) and an upper triangular matrix \(R\).

QRF is often used to solve the linear least squares problem and is the basis for a particular eigenvalue algorithm, the QR algorithm.

\[A = Q R\]

There are several methods to compute the QR decomposition, such as by means of the Gram-Schmidt process, Householder transformations, or Given rotations. Each has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Given rotations is used in the current design.
