IMSL Fortran Numerical Library v5.0 Now Available with IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition for Mac OS X
World renowned mathematical & statistical libraries now bundled with IBM's XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 on Apple's latest Mac OS X
Absoft Corporation has announced General Availability of Visual Numerics' IMSL(TM) Fortran Numerical Library version 5.0 bundled with the high performance and award-winning IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition compiler Version 8.1 for Mac OS X. Through a special OEM relationship with IBM, Absoft is now able to offer powerful new development tools such as the IMSL Fortran Library and Absoft's Integrated Development Environment bundled with the IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 compiler for Mac OS X. The IMSL Fortran Library is the gold standard mathematical and statistical library for Fortran programmers developing high performance computing applications. The IMSL Fortran Library saves development time by eliminating the need to write code from scratch. Using only two or three of the IMSL Fortran Library's mathematical or statistical routines will more than pay for the product in time-savings alone. The complete IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, is now available to users of IBM's high performance XL Fortran compiler on the Mac OS X platform.
The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, version 5.0, includes new powerful and flexible interface modules for all applicable routines. These new interface modules allow users to utilize the fast, convenient optional arguments of the modern Fortran syntax for 100% of the relevant algorithms in the library, allowing for greater control and faster, simpler development of code. The IMSL Fortran Library provides full depth and control via optional arguments for experienced programmers, reduces development efforts by checking data-type matches and array sizing at compile time, and gives developers a simple and flexible interface to the library routines as well as speeds programming and simplifies documentation. At the heart of the IMSL Numerical Libraries lie the comprehensive and trusted IMSL mathematical and statistical numerical algorithms. The IMSL Fortran Library includes all of the algorithms from the IMSL family of Fortran libraries, including the IMSL F90 Library, the IMSL Fortran 77 Library, and the IMSL parallel processing features. Utilities are included to simplify large-scale computing with the ScaLAPACK library.
The IMSL Fortran Library is now available bundled with IBM's XL Fortran Advanced Edition Version 8.1 for Mac OS X to commercial customers starting at $1699. Government licenses for the IBM XL Fortran V8.1 plus IMSL Fortran Library v5.0 bundle start at $1299 while academic licenses start at $799. The IMSL Fortran Library is also available with Absoft's Pro Fortran Compiler Suite version 9.0 for Windows and Macintosh OS X. Special pricing is available for upgrades and volume purchases. For a limited time, existing Absoft Pro Fortran customers with earlier versions of the IMSL Fortran Library for OS X or Windows can receive special upgrade pricing. Product and ordering information are available at http://www.absoft.com/Products/Libraries/imsl.html, by calling Absoft at (248) 853-0050, or by emailing sales@absoft.com.
