Now available for Linux, OS X workstations and
Xserve clusters, and 32-bit Windows!
The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is available with Absoft's Pro Fortran
Compiler Suite for Windows and Mac OS X platforms and with Fortran Standard for
32-bit and 64-bit Linux. The IMSL Fortran Library, a complete collection of
mathematical and statistical algorithms for high performance computing
applications, integrates the world-renowned IMSL F90 Library with the IMSL
Fortran 77 library into a single, cohesive package. The IMSL Fortran Library
includes all of the algorithms from the IMSL Family of Fortran libraries for
more than three decades, including the IMSL F90 Library, the IMSL Fortran 77
Library, and the IMSL parallel processing features.
The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library saves 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 IMSL Fortran Numerical Library integrates the world-renowned IMSL F90
Library with the IMSL Fortran 77 Library into a single, cohesive package.
The IMSL Fortran Library includes new powerful and flexible interface modules
that allow for the use of advanced Fortran syntax and optional arguments
throughout, while still providing full backward compatibility. These interface
modules simplify and speed coding while improving quality by reducing the
likelihood of mistakes. They also facilitate development of simpler Fortran
applications while providing full depth and control for experienced programmers.
Also included are a collection of new numerical algorithms and expanded support
for SMP parallel processing.
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.
For
Windows, the Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite with IMSL is only available for
single users on single systems up to 4 CPUs. For Linux, the Fortran 95 compiler
with IMSL is only available for single users on single systems up to 4 CPUs. For
MacIntosh OS X, the Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite with IMSL is available for
single users on single systems and will soon be available for floating users,
systems greater than 4 CPUs, and Clusters.
NOTE: IMSL Fortran Licenses for Absoft compilers for floating users on
Windows or Linux, or for use on Windows or Linux systems greater than 4CPUs, or
for Windows/Linux Clusters are not available at this time.
- Widest selection of mathematical and statistical functionality in the
industry.
- Complete backward compatibility.
- All versions include complete documentation in pdf format.
- More than 1000 Fortran subroutines are available.
- Complete on-line help with Windows version.
- Order form for (optional) complete
hard-copy documentation available directly from Visual Numerics
- AltiVec (Special "Velocity
Engine") optimized versions included for Macintosh G4/G5 users on OS X systems.

IMSL Fortran Library includes many new features:
New Faure Sequence Routine
Computes a low-discrepancy sequence, which is used in Quasi
Monte-Carlo analysis
New GARCH Routine
Used to model time series data, such as the price of oil or
interest rates
SMP/OpenMP Support
The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library offers expanded SMP support
for a number of parallel processing environments. Computationally intensive
algorithms in the areas of linear systems and matrix manipulation, eigensystem
analysis, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) leverage SMP capabilities on a
variety of systems.
MPI Enabled
IMSL Fortran Numerical Library provides a dynamic interface for
computing mathematical solutions over a distributed system via Message Passing
Interface (MPI). MPI enabled routines offer a simple, reliable user
interface.
For Windows,
the Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite with IMSL is only available for single
users on single systems up to 4 CPUs. For Linux, the Absoft Fortran Standard
Compiler with IMSL is only available for single users on single systems up to 4
CPUs. For Macintosh OS X, the Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite with IMSL is
available for single users on single systems and will soon be available for
floating users, systems greater than 4 CPUs, and Clusters.

The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is the gold standard mathematical and
statistical code library for Fortran programmers developing high performance
computing applications. The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library contains highly
accurate and reliable Fortran algorithms with full coverage of mathematics and
statistics and complete backward compatibility. It combines the powerful and
flexible interface features of the Fortran language with the performance
benefits of both distributed memory and shared memory multiprocessing
architectures.
The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library includes new powerful and flexible
interface modules for all applicable routines, which accomplish the
following:
- Allows users to utilize the fast, convenient optional arguments of the
modern Fortran syntax for 100% of the relevant algorithms in the library,
allowing for greater control and faster, simpler code development
- Only require a short list of required arguments for each algorithm to
facilitate development of simpler Fortran applications
- Provide full depth and control via optional arguments for experienced
programmers
- Reduce development effort by checking data-type matches and array sizing at
compile time
- With operators and function modules, provide faster and more natural
programming through an object-oriented approach
- A simple and flexible interface to the library routines speeds programming
and simplifies documentation
