Netlib and NA-Net: Building a Scientific Computing Community

Scientific Grid Computing via Community-Controlled Auto- building of Software Packages Across Architectures

Scientific communities have proven successful in developing highly adapted yet flexible information technology infrastructures for research. Genome research projects and high energy physics have lead the way in the collection, analysis and sharing of data at ever increasing volumes. On the other hand, sharing of hardware resources was introduced only relatively recently with the advent of grid ...

Building Flexible Large-Scale Scientific Computing Applications with Scripting Languages

We describe our use of scripting languages with a large-scale molecular dynamics code. We will show how one can build an interactive, highly modular, and easily extensible system without sacrificing performance, building a huge monolithic package, or complicating code development. We will also describe our use of the Python language and the SWIG automated interface generation tool that we have ...

The Netlib Mathematical Software Repository

The Netlib repository contains freely available software, documents, and databases of interest to the numerical, scientific computing, and other research communities. The repository is maintained by AT&T Bell Laboratories, by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and by colleagues world-wide. Many sites around the world mirror the collection and are automatically synchr...
