The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is the gold standard mathematical and statistical function library for Fortran programmers developing high performance computing applications. Consisting of over 1000 special function routines, the IMSL Fortran Numerical Library saves development time by eliminating the need to write code from scratch. Using only two or three of the IMSL Fortran Library's mathematical or statistical routines will more than pay for the product in application development time-savings alone. This new IMSL release optimized for Linux means the complete IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is now available to all Absoft customers regardless of whether they are using Linux, Windows, or Macintosh OS X. Visual Numerics' latest IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, version 5.0, includes new powerful and flexible interface modules for all applicable routines. These new interface modules allow 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 development of code. The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library provides full depth and control via optional arguments for experienced programmers, reduces development efforts by checking data-type matches and array sizing at compile time, and gives developers a simple and flexible interface to the library routines as well as speeds programming and simplifies documentation. At the heart of the IMSL Numerical Libraries lie the comprehensive and trusted IMSL mathematical and statistical numerical algorithms. The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library combines over 1000 fully tested and highly optimized algorithms and includes the complete IMSL F90 Library, the IMSL FORTRAN 77 Library, and the IMSL parallel processing features. Utilities are included to simplify large-scale computing with the ScaLAPACK library. Full documentation detailing each routine is included in PDF format. "As Absoft continues to lead the market in platform availability and choices for deploying applications using the IMSL Fortran Numerical Libraries, and is the only language vendor able to offer the IMSL libraries to its Fortran customers on Linux, Windows and OSX. The popularity and market demand for this outstanding product continues to grow." said Absoft executive vice president Jeff Livesay. The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is available from Absoft for Linux on AMD or Intel 32-bit & 64-bit processors, Windows and OS X. Single user prices start at $700 for commercial and $400 for academic customers. Versions for Absoft HPC SDK are also available.
