Abstract

Argonne National Laboratory, Stanford University and The University of Texas at Austin, in cooperation with various field test sites, have carried out a collaborative effort to certify and disseminate mathematical software. This is a prototype venture whose purpose is to develop ways of supplying the scientific computing community with highly reliable subroutines. Selected software is tested, first at the three principal institutions and then at field test sites. Routines of proven quality are certified and distributed from the Argonne Code Center. A collaborative testing methodology is emerging from the project. Software selected for testing and distribution includes a collection of routines for calculating certain special functions of mathematical physics and a Fortran package of eigensystem routines based on Algol originals of Wilkinson, Reinsch, and their colleagues.
