 NCSA's Help Desk is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year: The PECM group supports a variety of mathematical software, libraries and tools on NCSA's HPC resources. A current list is available from the HPC Software Repository, specifically the Mathematics and Statistics and Numerical Programs and Routines entries. Here we only highlight some of the software and tools available. Math SoftwareNCSA supports open-source and commercial software on its HPC resources. BLAS and LAPACKBasic Linear Algegra Subprogram (BLAS) and Linear Algebra PACKage Libraries (LAPACK) provide the basis of a substantial number of scientific codes. For a performance comparison of a few of the more common BLAS routines from the various sources, see the BLAS Comparison page.
ScaLAPACKScaLAPACK provides a parallel implementation of BLAS and LAPACK. It is available from a open-source distribution as well as from IBM's PESSL. Fourier TransformsFor a performance comparison of FFT packages available, see the FFT Comparison page.
PETScPETSc (Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation) is a suite of data structures and routines for the uni- and parallel-processor solution of large-scale scientific application problems modeled by partial differential equations. SPRNGParallel random number generation is provided by the SPRNG library. Originally designed for parallel Monte Carlo applications, it provides a method for rapid generation of a larger amount of random numbers with no correlation. ToolsTotalviewThe parallel debugger Totalview provides a convenient method for debugging parallel applications on clusters and SMP machines. Contact:Contact mathsoft@ncsa.uiuc.edu for more information on libraries that are available or that you think should be available on NCSA HPC machines. |
