National Software Exchange Created for HPCC Community August 19

NEWS BRIEFS HPCwire

To facilitate the development and distribution of software enabling technologies for high performance computing, we have set up a National Software Exchange (NSE) for the High Performance Computing and Communications community.

The project has the following goals:

• Wide availability of high-quality, public-domain software for high performance computers.
• Promotion of software reuse.
• Collaboration and information sharing between universities, research laboratories, and industry.
• Active participation by Grand Challenge groups and other research scientists, both in contributing to and in using the NSE.
• Promotion of technology transfer and software capitalization.

A prototype system is in place and can be accessed through the URL: http://www.netlib.org/nse/home.html

As an overview to the system information is provided on the following topics:

HPCC Programs and Activities Grand Challenges Software / Enabling Technologies Repositories Packages Application Level Library Software Parallel Programming Environments Parallel Programming Languages Performance Visualization Information Databases Commercial Vendor Catalog Reports, Journals, and Professional Societies Related Network Resources
