Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: Arnold Krommer Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Release 2 of the NAG Parallel Library Organization: The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd Date: 5 Jun 1997 13:22:30 GMT Message-ID: <5n6eim$47j@server1.ctc.com> ANNOUNCEMENT: Release 2 of the NAG Parallel Library Launched NAG has recently launched Release 2 of the NAG Parallel Library. The NAG Parallel Library enables users to take advantage of the increased computing power and memory capacity offered by parallel and distributed computing environments. It provides parallel subroutines in the computationally intensive areas covered by other NAG numerical libraries, such as dense and sparse linear algebra, optimization, quadrature and random number generation. Additionally, the NAG Parallel Library supplies utility routines for data distribution, input/output and process management purposes. These utility routines shield users to a large extent from having to deal explicitly with the message-passing system - which may be MPI or PVM - on which the library is based. Targeted primarily at distributed memory computers and networks of workstations, the NAG Parallel Library also performs well on shared memory computers whenever efficient implementations of MPI or PVM are available.
