Visual Numerics ports IMSL Fortran 90 Library to NEC's SX-5 supercomputerBoulder 7 2001 Visual Numerics has ported its IMSL Fortran 90 Library to NEC Corp.'s SX-5 supercomputer, bringing to seven the total number of supercomputing platforms supported by the Library.
IMSL Fortran 90 Library
is a collection of more than 1,000 mathematical and statistical analysis
functions written in Fortran that programmers can embed directly into
their applications. The Library's platform-optimized functions, which
are the most accurate and reliable on the market, support distributed
computing environments or run on a stand-alone desktop computer. Among the new functions
available in IMSL Fortran 90 Library is a Partial Differential Equation
solver and two new linearly constrained least-squares solvers. Acccording to Visual Numerics' benchmark studies, developing one algorithm
to the same standards of reliability, portability and ease-of-use as an
average IMSL function would take a developer more than two months to complete.
By using IMSL routines, developers can deliver solutions more quickly
and their applications benefit from the reliability and portability inherent
in the IMSL products. The IMSL Fortran
90 Library supports computing platforms running UNIX, OpenVMS, Windows
95/98/2000, and Red Hat Linux. In addition to the NEC SX-5, the following
supercomputing platforms are also supported: the NEC SX-4, the IBM RS/6000
SP, the Cray T3E, the Cray SV-1, the Fujitsu VPP 500, and the Hitachi
SR8000.
