| PUNC (Portable Understructure for Numerical Computing) is a small standard |
| collection of software libraries for numerical computing. The PUNC |
| collection includes reference implementations of the standard (dense matrix) |
| linear algebra tools BLAS and LAPACK, and also includes some newer (sparse |
| matrix) linear algebra tools ARPACK, SuperLU, CgCode, and PMG. PUNC also |
| provides some additional basic infrastructure such as the standard F2C |
| header and corresponding library (libF2C), to support the use of F2C'd |
| FORTRAN codes, and some other standard tools used to build numerical |
| simulation software, such as the HDF5 library. While most of the libraries |
| included in PUNC are completely stand-alone, and are the reference |
| implementations developed by the individual library authors, PUNC also |
| provides some Object-oriented C wrappers (written by the FETK developers) |
| for use with Object-oriented C/C++ codes such as FETK . This is accomplished |
| by building PUNC on top of FETK 's MALOC library. |
