In order to make it as easy as possible for our researchers to make use of this resource one of my colleagues, Ian Cottam, created a system called DropAndCompute. In my previous blog post I mentioned that I am a member of a team that supports High Throughput Computing (HTC) at The University of Manchester via a 1600+ core ‘condor pool’. Chebfun is a very interesting project as can be seen from the wide array of examples. Chebfun is a collection of algorithms, and a software system in object-oriented MATLAB, which extends familiar powerful methods of numerical computation involving numbers to continuous or piecewise-continuous functions. Version 4.0 of the free MATLAB toolbox, Chebfun, has been released. PGI insider have an article called Using GPU-enabled Math Libraries with PGI Fortran which covers GPU accelerated libraries such as CUBLAS, CULA and MAGMA. Jacket, arguably the most advanced GPU-accelerated toolbox for MATLAB currently available, has been updated to version 1.7 Check out the release notes to see what’s been added. NVIDIA have released version 4.0 of their CUDA toolkit.

GP-GPU (General Purpose Graphics Processing Units) related news, tutorials and releases If you’ve never used this software before then it’s a bit MATLAB-like and uses Maxima for symbolic stuff.

Version 12 of EuMaT (Euler Math Toolbox) has been released but I can’t find a changelog (update: changelog is here). Version 1.10.14 of Gnumeric, a free alternative to Excel, has been released. For a list of all things new see this thread. Version 4.6.2 was released just after I published February’s edition of MMS so I’ve included it here. SAGE, the open-source mathematics package based on Python, has seen a new minor release. Check out to see what’s new.Ī new minor release (version 4.4.3) of GNUPLOT, a popular open-source plotting package, is now available. Version 5.3.1 of Scilab, a superb free MATLAB-like environment, has been released. Version 8.0.1 contains bug fixes and enhancements and a short list of these is available at Īnother month, another Magma release. If I’ve missed anything then contact me and let me know.Ī minor update to Mathematica has been released. If you like what you see then you may also be interested in last month’s edition and possibly January’s too.

Welcome to the March 2011 edition of A Month of Math Software (MMS) where I take you on a brief tour of new things in the world of mathematical software.
