Scientific Computing FAQ: Indices of NA Software on the Net

Indices of NA Software on the Net

For indices of packages oriented towards symbolic algebra, see Symbolic Algebra .

One of the largest is the NIST Guide to Available Mathematical Software (Formerly called GAMS). [SJS]: The guide is maintained by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) It is an index and server for a wide variety of mathematical software, including most of netlib (see Netlib ). Much of the software is in Fortran. If you prefer to speak C++ or C, see C++ Resources , and Fortran, C, and f2c .

[Ronald Boisvert]: The main focus is on fine-grained software components, e.g. subroutines, although information about some larger packages are included. As of November 1995, nearly 10,000 components from more than 90 packages have been cross-indexed using a detailed tree-structured problem classification system. Both freely available software (from netlib or developed at NIST) and commercial packages (used by NIST) are indexed, although source code is available only for non-commercial software.

Mathtools.net is a large tech computing portal.

Jack Dongarra's survey is a list of freely available linear algebra software. It compares many free linear algebra packages. It does not discuss the many packages derived from these core solvers.
