Library of Fortran subroutines for numerical analysis oriented towards a high-energy physics environment.
General Algebraic Modeling System for solving optimization problems, linear, non-linear and mixed integer.
GLIM is a package designed to facilitate the fitting of generalised linear models.
No description.
Digital Extended Math Library (DXML) is a set of computationally intensive mathematical subroutines that is optimized for Alpha AXP platforms. It includes among other things LAPACK and BLAS routines.
To use the dxml library, add the option -ldxml to your fortan
compiler statement.
More details can be found in the man-page of dxml on ASTER.
Interactive system to perform mathematical computation. Handles numeric, symbolic, and graphical calculations.
Troubleshooting fonts when using Mathematica on ASTER from a remote client.
- for UNIX, Linux and MacOS X clients:
- to set the mathematica fonts from a remote UNIX client, give the command
xset +fp tcp/mach:7100on your remote UNIX client. and logon onto aster again. You should now have the necessary fonts.- Windows clients (using X-win):
- check the Starnet website for additional fonts

MATLAB is an interactive ``matrix laboratory'' for tasks involving matrices, graphics and general numerical computation.
Matlab is available on ASTER, but also a part of the VUB/ULB software site license. For details about the latter, please see the Softweb pages.
Available toolboxes are MATLAB, SIMULINK, System Identification Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Signal Processing Toolbox, Spline Toolbox, Neural Network Toolbox, Real-Time Workshop, Image Processing Toolbox, Control System Toolbox, Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, Statistics Toolbox, Matlab Compiler.
Currently 3 versions are available on ASTER: the default version is 5.3.1 (release 11.1), but versions 6.1 (release 12.1) and 6.5 (release 13) are also available. The commands to be issued are:
/usr/local/bin/matlab or matlab
/usr/local/bin/matlab6 or matlab6
/usr/local/bin/matlab65 or matlab65

Numerical Algorithms Group is a large and coherent collection of high quality subroutines for numerical and statistical analysis.
NAG on ASTER: 2 versions of NAG exist on ASTER,
one for Fortran77 and one for Fortran90. To use either of these versions,
add the options -lnagsmp -ldxml or -lnagfl90 -ldxml
respectively.
Documentation: Online help is available with the command
naghelp.
