| - | == Summary ==
| |
| - | NAG Library represents a large collection of numerical and statistical algorithms (over
| |
| - | 1,600 routines). They offer multiplatform support, ranging from workstation OS
| |
| - | (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) to server systems running AIX, TRU64, HP-UX. The routines
| |
| - | target problems from various areas, including: solution of dense, banded and sparse
| |
| - | linear equations and eigenvalue problems; linear, quadratic, integer and nonlinear
| |
| - | programming and least squares problems; random number generation; correlation and
| |
| - | regression analysis; ordinary and partial differential equations and mesh generation;
| |
| - | time series analysis; curve and surface fitting and interpolation. The libraries offer
| |
| - | support for C and Fortran, but are callable from many other languages. There are
| |
| - | portings of the libraries supporting SMP, multicore and other parallel systems like GPU.
| |
| - | The routines are applicable in applications solving problems in diverse research areas,
| |
| - | including pharmaceutical, telecommunications, energy, life sciences, engineering etc.
| |
| - | There is a thread-safe implementation, offering support for multithreaded applications.
| |
| - | Libraries are accompanied with detailed documentations and examples for every routine
| |
| - | provided. Every routine is tested to satisfy strong accuracy requirements.
| |
| - | The pricing model for clusters is available on request from
| |
| - | http://www.nag.co.uk/contact_us.asp.

| |
| - |
| |
| - | Please describe here any common settings, configurations or conventions that would make the usage of this resource (library or tool) more interoperable or scalable across the HP-SEE resources. These recommendations should include anything that is related to the resource and is agreed upon by administrators and users, or across sites and applications. These recommendations should emerge from questions or discussions opened by site administrators or application developers, at any stage, including installation, development, usage, or adaptation for another HPC centre.
| |

| |
| - | Provided descriptions should describe general or site specific aspects of resource installation, configuration and usage, or describe the guidelines or convention for deploying or using the resource within the local (user/site) or temporary environment (job). Examples are:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Common configuration settings of execution environment
| |
| - | * Filesystem path or local access string
| |
| - | * Environment variables to be set or used by applications
| |
| - | * Options (e.g. additional modules) that are needed or required by applications and should be present
| |
| - | * Minimum quantitative values (e.g. quotas) offered by the site
| |
| - | * Location and format of some configuration or usage hint instructing applications on proper use of the resource or site specific policy
| |
| - | * Key installation or configuration settings that should be set to a common value, or locally tweaked by local site admins
| |
| - | * Conventions for application or job bound installation and usage of the resource
