IMSL Numerical Libraries for Absoft Pro Fortran!

IMSL Fortran Numerical Libraries

The Gold Standard Mathematical and Statistical Code Library for Fortran

The IMSL Fortran Library, is a complete collection of mathematical and statistical algorithms which integrates the world-renowned IMSL F90 Library, Math & Stat and Fortran 77 libraries into a single, cohesive package. Absoft offers versions for all popular computing platforms thus providing a common solution from desktop to HPC cluster. Absoft offers special bundle pricing for customers purchasing compilers+IMSL, and includes specially optimized math libraries which can improve the performance on several platforms at no additional charge.

Save development time by eliminating the need to write code from scratch. Using only two or three IMSL Library mathematical or statistical routines will more than pay for the product in time-savings alone. The complete mainframe implementation of the IMSL Fortran Library Mathematical and Statistical special functions is available to Absoft users on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms.

The strength and precision of the IMSL Numerical Libraries have been evolving steadily for over three decades. Each subroutine and algorithm has undergone rigorous testing and quality assurance, providing users with more time to focus on their application.
