Hyprotech Announces Latest Release of the Harwell Subroutine Library--HSL 2000.Business Editors/High Tech Writers OXFORD, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2000 Hyprotech Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEA Technology AEA Technology plc was formed in 1996 as the privatised offshoot of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Originally it consisted of divisions with expertise in a wide variety of areas, mostly the products of nuclear-related research. plc, today announced a major update to the internationally renowned Harwell Subroutine Library Noun 1. subroutine library - (computing) a collection of standard programs and subroutines that are stored and available for immediate use program library, library with the latest release, HSL (Hue Saturation Luminosity) A color space similar to HSB. See HSB. 2000. HSL 2000 is a collection of advanced mathematical algorithms for large-scale scientific applications, for use by scientists and application programmers across a wide range of applications. It has been developed by the 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). Group at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) at the Chilton/Harwell Science Campus is a UK scientific research laboratory near Didcot in Oxfordshire. It has a staff of around 1,200 who support the work of over 10,000 scientists and engineers, mainly from the university research and by other experts and collaborators. HSL was started in 1963 and over this long period HSL has reached a high standard of reliability and has a worldwide reputation as a prime source of numerical codes. As a result of many years of research and development many of the HSL routines now represent the state of the art in numerical software. All the routines are rugged, reliable and "industrial strength". HSL routines are regularly incorporated into advanced software applications, allowing programmers to leverage the many thousands of hours of programming effort invested in the HSL routines, and ensuring tested, high quality, efficient, algorithms. HSL is now used by more than 1500 organizations worldwide and packages have been incorporated under license into over 60 commercially available software products. HSL 2000 contains codes for Automatic differentiation In mathematics and computer algebra, automatic differentiation, or AD, sometimes alternatively called algorithmic differentiation, is a method to numerically evaluate the derivative of a function specified by a computer program. , Differential Equations, Eigenvalues eigenvalues statistical term meaning latent root. and Eigenvectors, Mathematical Functions, Sorting, Linear Programming, Linear Algebra, Nonlinear Equations, Polynomials, Optimization and Non-linear data fitting. It contains many new routines, which have been developed as a result of recent research into advanced numerical algorithms. HSL 2000 represents a major resource for individuals or organizations that are interested in the application of advanced numerical methods to a wide range of problems.

About the Numerical Analysis Group at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory The Numerical Analysis Group at RAL 1. RAL - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). 2. RAL - An expert system. is one of the world's leading groups in the solution of sparse linear systems and of large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. Group members hold visiting Professorships at British universities, act on the editorial boards of many leading scientific journals, act on international standards committees, and have written a number of recent books. The software the Group has developed has been described in a large number of published journal articles. The Groups' activities, including the development of HSL 2000, are primarily supported by a strategic grant (GR/M78502) from EPSRC EPSRC Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (UK) . Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire employs around 1200 people, who support the work of over 10000 scientists and engineers, mainly from the university research community.
