ParInt1.0 numerical software released

 Michigan 10 Aug 99 The ParInt Research Project of Western Michigan University and Washington State University announced the first formal release of their software, ParInt1.0.This release incorporates a set of techniques for numerically solving multivariate integration problems. The algorithm incorporates parallel globally adaptive integration, with each processor storing its own priority queue of subproblems and performing scheduler-based local load balancing.

Features of the release include:

  • Two techniques for running the software: Running the ParInt executable from the Unix command line; and Using the ParInt API; allowing the user to solve integration problems from their own C applications by using ParInt functions
  • Support for double and long double accuracy
  • Use of MPI for underlying processor communication, providing platform independence
  • Support for user integrand functions written in C or Fortran
  • Support for vector integrand functions, integrated over hyperrectangular regions.
  • A full User Manual.

Users can download the release and view the documentation (.ps or .html) from the ParInt web site: www.cs.wmich.edu/~parint . Questions can be directed to parint@cs.wmich.edu.
