IMSL v6 Fortran Numerical Libraries

The Gold Standard Mathematical and Statistical Code Library for Fortran

Windows, Mac & Linux v6 IMSL available now!

Includes new Algorithms for SMP and MPI Parallel Programming.

IMSL v6.0 - The gold standard in Fortran numerical libraries is compatible with all existing v5 routines and adds powerful new features including:

New High Performance Linear Programming Optimizer

• New state-of-the-art constrained dense Linear Programming Optimizers which, in comparison tests, have performed up to 400% FASTER than leading competitors'.
• World's fastest dense LP solver in a general mathematical library
• Includes MPS (Mathematical Programming System) format reader to facilitate usage with large optimization problems
  
  

ScaLAPACK Integration for MPI

• Provides easy access to MPI-enabled algorithms, and allows users to write parallel code without needing to know parallel MPI programming
• New SCALAPACK_SETUP function automatically configures MPI and ScaLAPACK, and combines with other convenience routines to allow non-expert users to solve large problems on distributed systems while avoiding many of the messy details.
  
  

LAPACK Integration for SMP

• Provides easy access to SMP-enabled algorithms and allows users to write parallel code without needing to know SMP parallel programming algorithm names.
  

Mersenne Twister random number generator

• Algorithm featuring fast generation of very high quality pseudorandom numbers. Especially well suited for financial applications.
  

SuperLU for Sparse Linear Algebra

• A direct solver for large sparse systems of linear equations
