IMSL Fortran 90 Library available for several supercomputers

Among the new functions available in IMSL Fortran 90 Library V4.0 is a Partial Differential Equation solver and two new linearly constrained least-squares solvers with optional Message Passing Interface-enhanced distribution. In response to the growing demand for distributed computing solutions, Version 4.0 of the IMSL Fortran 90 Library supports distributed memory processing by implementing some routines with Message Passing Interface (MPI) capabilities. Applications built with the IMSL Fortran 90 Library can be executed on system configurations ranging from one to hundreds of CPUs, thereby allowing portability from the desktop to high-end servers to networks of "computing engines."

The IMSL Fortran 90 Library supports the IBM RS/6000 SP, the Cray T3E, the Cray SV-1, the NEC SX-4, the Fujitsu VPP 500, and the Hitachi SR8000 supercomputing platforms. In addition, UNIX-based workstations (Sun Microsystems, IBM, Compaq, Silicon Graphics and Hewlett-Packard) and personal computers running Windows 95/98/NT are also supported.
