SCI

SCI is a general purpose, scientific library licensed for use on some supercomputers at NCAR, including the Cray parallel-vector machines. It is optimized and contains offerings in the following areas: linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, fast Fourier transforms, signal processing, and sorting and searching. SCI contains optimized versions of the following libraries: EISPACK, LINPACK, and LAPACK.

Recommendation: SCI is highly recommended for its optimized, scientific routines.

Documentation: Overview documentation is available on Cray Research computers via the man intro_libsci command and on HP's sioux via man scilib. Usage documentation for specific routines is available as man pages. Online manuals are available in SGI-CRI's Online Software Publications Library.
Source code: official source is not available. A portable version is available from netlib's SCILIB directory.
NCAR users: the SCI binary library is available to NCAR computer users, for linking with Fortran programs, on some of SCD's compute-servers. See "SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers. The directory location of the library is specific to the computer on which you are running. On Cray parallel-vector computers, the library is linked by default. On Hewlett Packard's Exemplar SPP2200, you must use compiler flags -L/opt/mlib/lib/pa2.0parallel -lscilib.
