OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY
Software Tools and Applied Mathematics
ORNL develops and distributes the tools needed for researchers to make optimum use of computing resources--from collaborative tools like the electronic notebook to leading numerical libraries.
Distributed and cluster computing tools
ORNL developed the standard software used world-wide to permit heterogeneous collections of Unix and/or NT computers to be operated as a single large parallel computer.
PVM, XPVM (heterogeneous cluster computing)
TORC (M3Cluster tool)
Harness (Next Generation of PVM)
MPICL (Portable Instrumentation Library for MPI)
Numerical software resources
Today's standard numerical libraries were developed in collaboration with ORNL.
ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software)
LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage)
ScaLAPACK (Scalable LAPACK, for distributed memory MIMD parallel computers)
ARPACK (Arnoldi-based eigenvalue solvers)
QMRPACK (iterative solution of linear systems)
Netlib (a collection of mathematical software, papers, and databases)
NetSolve (A client/server package for access to distributed computational resources)
