A
| Package | Description | License | wanted by | remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARPACK | Arnoldi package library | BSD-like | Scientists | Similar LAPACK, but using the Arnoldi technique to solve eigenproblems. Exists also in a parallel version (PARPACK) |
| Asymptote | Vector Graphics Drawing Program | GPL | Scientists | Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. |
| ATLAS | Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software | BSD-like | Scientists | Contains optimized BLAS and some LAPACK routines. Atlas however has to be compiled on the computer where it is used, because of the self-tunig during the build process. So, really nice would be an application that builds ATLAS, puts the library into a rpm, and installs it.
Feel free to download a version from home:brcha repository. Keep in mind that only x86_64 version is correct. The i586 version is optimized for the openSUSE's build farm which has SSE3 enabled computers so it probably will not work on most computers. The best way (until I fix that issue and after that too) is to download the src.rpm and rebuild it yourself (rpmbuild --recompile libatlas3-3.8.0-3.1.src.rpm) since then it will be optimized for your own CPU. |
