IMSL Fortran Numerical Library v5.0 Now Available with IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition for Mac OS X.ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. -- World renowned mathematical & statistical libraries now bundled with IBM's XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 on Apple's latest Mac OS X Absoft Corporation today announced General Availability of Visual Numerics' 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 Numerical Library version 5.0 bundled with the high performance and award-winning IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) XL Fortran Advanced Edition compiler Version 8.1 for Mac OS X. Through a special OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and relationship with IBM, Absoft is now able to offer powerful new development tools such as the IMSL Fortran Library and Absoft's Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment bundled with the IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 compiler for Mac OS X. The IMSL Fortran Library is the gold standard mathematical and statistical library for Fortran programmers developing high performance computing applications. The IMSL Fortran 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 time-savings alone. The complete IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, is now available to users of IBM's high performance XL Fortran compiler Noun 1. Fortran compiler - a compiler for programs written in FORTRAN compiling program, compiler - (computer science) a program that decodes instructions written in a higher order language and produces an assembly language program on the Mac OS X platform. The 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 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 The time it takes to translate a program from source language into machine language. Linker time may also be included in compile time. See compile and linker. (programming) 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 IMSL (International Mathematics and Statistics Library) is a collection of software libraries of numerical analysis functionality that are implemented in widely used computer programming languages of C, Java, C#.NET, and Fortran. lie the comprehensive and trusted IMSL mathematical and statistical numerical algorithms. The IMSL Fortran Library includes all of the algorithms from the IMSL family of Fortran libraries, including the IMSL F90 Library, the IMSL Fortran 77 Library, and the IMSL 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. Utilities are included to simplify large-scale computing with the ScaLAPACK library. "Visual Numerics is committed to providing high-performance analytics to the Fortran community," said Phil Fraher, COO of Visual Numerics. "By working with leading compiler vendors like Absoft, we ensure that our IMSL Fortran Library continues to be the solution of choice within the high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. community. Furthermore, given IBM and Absoft's long-standing leadership with top quality compilers for the Mac OS X platform, we are particularly pleased to offer our IMSL Fortran Library in a bundle with the IBM XL Fortran compiler for Mac OS X." "The accuracy and precision of the IMSL Numerical Libraries have evolved steadily for over three decades. Customers regularly tell us that use of a single IMSL Library routine can justify their entire investment by allowing more time to focus on specific application development and research rather than re-creating numerical functions from scratch." said Wood Lotz, President of Absoft. "Absoft is pleased to announce that Visual Numerics' latest, most comprehensive library of mathematical and statistical algorithms is now available to users of IBM's XL Fortran compiler for Mac OS X. Absoft has developed a special user interface which makes invoking the libraries from within an application as easy as the click of a mouse for users of Absoft's Integrated Development Environment." "Absoft is the most established Fortran provider in the Macintosh community with more than 20 years experience. Absoft also leads the industry in price/performance solutions with fast, reliable compilers, flexible licensing policies, powerful debugging and development tools, and free technical support," continued Lotz. "Absoft is the only company offering source compatible Fortran tools for all of today's leading computing platforms and is pleased to offer the IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, v5.0, across Macintosh OS X and Windows platforms as well. This compatibility is especially important for users in universities and labs who work with multiple operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. on a daily basis," added Lotz. "Absoft's unique ability to offer a common solution across multiple platforms Refers to two or more operating environments, which typically include the CPU family and operating system. For example, if versions of a program run on Windows and the Macintosh, the software is said to support multiple platforms. while providing superior performance, reliability, compatibility with key third party libraries, and free technical support means products from Absoft are the most attractive solutions for customers migrating existing applications between different scalar systems or to high-performance computing environments such as small, medium, or large clusters." The IMSL Fortran Library is now available bundled with IBM's XL Fortran Advanced Edition Version 8.1 for Mac OS X to commercial customers starting at $1699. Government licenses for the IBM XL Fortran V Fortran V - Preliminary work on adding character handling to Fortran by IBM ca. 1962. This name as never really used. 8.1 plus IMSL Fortran Library v5.0 bundle start at $1299 while academic licenses start at $799. The IMSL Fortran Library is also available with Absoft's Pro Fortran Compiler Suite version 9.0 for Windows and Macintosh OS X. Special pricing is available for upgrades and volume purchases. For a limited time, existing Absoft Pro Fortran customers with earlier versions of the IMSL Fortran Library for OS X or Windows can receive special upgrade pricing.
