open source math libraries

This policy defines a set of open source math libraries, each having the same version and configuration across all participating centers. The suite of maintained packages consists of:

  • ARPACK: Solution of Eigenvalues/Eigenvectors
  • FFTW: Library for computing Discrete Fourier Transforms
    • Both MPI and non-MPI versions are maintained
  • PETSc: Suite of scientific computing routines
  • SuperLU: Direct solution of sparse linear systems of equations
  • LAPACK: Software library of numerical linear algebra routines
  • ScaLAPACK: Subset of parallelized LAPACK routines
  • BLAS: Basic linear algebra routines
    • ATLAS
    • GotoBLAS
  • GSL: C/C++ library with a wide variety of mathematical routines
