SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) is a software simulator for neural
networks on Unix workstations developed at the Institute for Parallel and
Distributed High Performance Systems (IPVR) at the University of Stuttgart.
The goal of the SNNS project is to create an efficient and flexible
simulation environment for research on and application of neural nets.
The SNNS simulator consists of two main components:
1) simulator kernel written in C
2) graphical user interface under X
The simulator kernel operates on the internal network data structures of the
neural nets and performs all operations of learning and recall. It can also
be used without the other parts as a C program embedded in custom
applications. It supports arbitrary network topologies and the concept of
sites. SNNS can be extended by the user with user defined activation
functions, output functions, site functions and learning procedures, which
are written as simple C programs and linked to the simulator kernel.
The graphical user interface XGUI (X Graphical User Interface), built on top
of the kernel, gives a 2D and a 3D graphical representation of the neural
networks and controls the kernel during the simulation run. In addition, the
2D user interface has an integrated network editor which can be used to
directly create, manipulate and visualize neural nets in various ways.
Solitaire is an encryption system based on a deck of cards by Bruce
Schneier. Although it is designed to be worked out by a human, it can
work on computers. This is the reference implementation programmed in
Perl. The program itself is installed as 'solitaire', and the source
code and test vectors are installed in share/doc/solitaire.

Spar is a modular math parser that comes with a fully featured text frontend,
something like an interactive calculator. It also provides a simple but
complete API for C/C++ programmers. This API provide a complete interface to
a top down parser that supports: variables, constants, functions, modules and
a libc based math library. This math library overrides standard functions with
a "custom" version (such as. deg, rad auto conversion, infinite symbol,
function domain...).
Spar, can be easily extended with modules. A module is a "user" extensions,
written in C/C++, to the basic features of the Simple Parser. Here you can
find the module definition: is a C structure that contains only few data
member:
- module name
- module version
- module description
- a pointer to the module main function
The modules are loaded at run-time by the module loader (that is a high level
layer of the module manager): you can load your modules, simply, coping theirs
paths into the .spar_modules (or any other file, with the -c option).
This is an ANSI C++ implementation of the complete ANSI C specification of
Chapter 3 of the BLAS Technical Forum Standard. The distribution is quite
small and it is meant as a starting point for developing an optimized and
architecture-dependent version. (C++ was used, rather than C, as it has support
for complex arithmetic and templates to facilitate to creation of various
precision codes.) The library includes support for all four precision types
(single, double precision, real, and complex) and Level 1, 2, and 3 operations.
SuperLU is a general purpose library for the direct solution of large,
sparse, nonsymmetric systems of linear equations on high performance
machines. The library is written in C and is callable from either C or
Fortran. The library routines will perform an LU decomposition with
partial pivoting and triangular system solves through forward and back
substitution. The LU factorization routines can handle non-square
matrices but the triangular solves are performed only for square
matrices. The matrix columns may be preordered (before factorization)
either through library or user supplied routines. This preordering for
sparsity is completely separate from the factorization. Working
precision iterative refinement subroutines are provided for improved
backward stability. Routines are also provided to equilibrate the
system, estimate the condition number, calculate the relative backward
error, and estimate error bounds for the refined solutions.
SuperLU_MT (version 2.0)
========================
SuperLU_MT contains a set of subroutines to solve a sparse linear system
A*X=B. It uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting (GEPP).
The columns of A may be preordered before factorization; the
preordering for sparsity is completely separate from the factorization.
SuperLU_MT is a parallel extension to the serial SuperLU library.
SuperLU_MT is implemented in ANSI C, with multithreading extension,
for example, using POSIX threads. Currently, only the LU factorization
routine, which is the most time-consuming part of the solution process,
is parallelized on machines with a shared address space. The other
routines, such as column preordering and the forward and back substitutions
are performed sequentially. This "alpha" release contains only
double-precision real data type.

NOTE: This library has to be linked with BLAS or a thread safe replacement.
surf is a tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry: plane algebraic
curves, algebraic surfaces and hyperplane sections of surfaces. surf is
script driven and has (optionally) a nifty GUI using the Gtk widget set.
The algorithms should be stable enough not to be confused by curve/surface
singularities in codimension greater than one and the degree of the surface
or curve. This has been achieved quite a bit. We have drawn curves of degree
up to 30 and surfaces of degree up to 20 successfully. However, there are
examples of curves/surfaces of lower degree where surf fails to produce
perfect images. This happens especially if the equation of the curve/surface
is not reduced. Best results are achieved using reduced equations. On the
other hand, surf displays the Fermat-curves accurately for degree up to 98.
The current version of the library includes the following functionality:
* Multifrontal Supernodal Cholesky Factorization.
* Left-Looking Supernodal Cholesky Factorization.
* Drop-Tolerance Incomplete-Cholesky Factorization.
* LDL^T Factorization.
* Out-of-Core, Left-Looking Supernodal Sparse Cholesky Factorization.
* Out-of-Core Sparse LU with Partial Pivoting Factor and Solve.
* Ordering Codes and Interfaces to Existing Ordering Codes.
* Matrix Operations.
* Matrix Input/Output.
* Matrix Generators.
* Iterative Solvers.
* Vaidya's Preconditioners.
* Recursive Vaidya's Preconditioners.
* Multilevel-Support-Graph Preconditioners.
* Utility Routines.

TestU01 is a software library, implemented in the ANSI C language, and
offering a collection of utilities for the empirical statistical testing
of uniform random number generators.
The library implements several types of random number generators in generic
form, as well as many specific generators proposed in the literature or
found in widely-used software. It provides general implementations of the
classical statistical tests for random number generators, as well as several
others proposed in the literature, and some original ones. These tests can
be applied to the generators predefined in the library and to user-defined
generators. Specific tests suites for either sequences of uniform random
numbers in [0,1] or bit sequences are also available. Basic tools for
plotting vectors of points produced by generators are provided as well.
Additional software permits one to perform systematic studies of the
interaction between a specific test and the structure of the point sets
produced by a given family of random number generators. That is, for a given
kind of test and a given class of random number generators, to determine how
large should be the sample size of the test, as a function of the generator's
period length, before the generator starts to fail the test systematically.
TetGen is a program for generating tetrahedral meshes for arbitrary 3D
domains. The main purpose of TetGen is to create high-quality tetrahedral
meshes for solving partial differential equations using finite element
and finite volume methods. This program, based on Delaunay methods,
currently generates meshes including exact constrained Delaunay
tetrahedralizations and quality (conforming Delaunay) meshes. For a 3D
point set, it generates its exact Delaunay tetrahedralization and convex
hull as well. The program is written in ANSI C++. It is highly portable,
it should be very easy to compile and run on all major computer systems.
It can be also used as a library embedded into other applications.
