FORTRAN LIBRARY 5.0 DEBUTS FOR NEC SX-6 SUPERCOMPUTER.Visual Numerics Inc., a leading provider of numerical analysis numerical analysis Branch of applied mathematics that studies methods for solving complicated equations using arithmetic operations, often so complex that they require a computer, to approximate the processes of analysis (i.e., calculus). and visualization software, and NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Corporation, have introduced Visual Numerics' latest IMSL IMSL International Mathematical and Statistical Library IMSL International Mathematics & Statistics Library IMSL Inverted Microstrip Line IMSL Injection Molding Systems Limited IMSL International Mathematical Subroutine Library (TM) Fortran Library version 5.0 for the NEC SX-6 Supercomputer, the first comprehensive mathematical library available for one of the world's fastest supercomputers. In high- performance computing, software availability for advanced systems, such as the SX-6, often lags behind the availability of the computing platform See platform. and slows the turnaround of applications. The combination of the IMSL Fortran Library with the NEC SX-6 provides customers in advanced science and research organizations with more speed and flexibility to develop mathematical and statistical applications, resulting in faster time to market. The IMSL Fortran Library integrates the trusted IMSL F90 library and parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer. features with the IMSL FORTRAN 77 mathematics and statistics library into a single package. By optimizing the IMSL Fortran Library for the NEC SX-6, Visual Numerics and NEC create a foundation for large-scale applications in which organizations can move their applications from a lower-end development system to the SX-6 without significant modifications to the application. The Korea Institute of Science and Technology  The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST)([1] is a multi-disciplinary research institute located in Seoul, Korea. Information (KISTI) already purchased the IMSL Fortran Library for the NEC SX-6 to use in their high-end science laboratories. "The combination of Visual Numerics' mathematical and statistical expertise with NEC's high-end computing power will help us quickly develop research applications for critical, data-intensive needs in fields such as computational chemistry and astrophysics astrophysics, application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology. ," said Minsu Joh, head of the Supercomputing Application Technology Department, KISTI Supercomputing Center. "Availability of the latest version of IMSL Fortran Library on the NEC high-end HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. system SX-6 vector parallel supercomputer, further strengthens NEC's position as a solution provider for high-performance computing," said Makoto Tsukakoshi, general manager of HPC Marketing Promotion Division, NEC Corporation. "With the mathematical and statistical capabilities in the IMSL Fortran Library and the power of the SX-6 vector system, we can help organizations with drug research, development of nuclear fusion and atomic energy, as well as more challenging specialties such as the development of new post-genomic drugs and the development of highly functional materials using nanotechnology." "Given that NEC develops the world's fastest supercomputer, the availability of the IMSL Fortran Library on the unparalleled SX-6 platform gives Visual Numerics a competitive edge in the numerical analysis software Listed here are a number of computer programs used for performing numerical calculations:
