Netlib Repository
📜 Abstract
Netlib is a repository of mathematical software, papers, and databases, maintained by AT&T, Bell Laboratories, the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It serves as a collaborative bridge for America’s high-performance computing initiatives.
✨ Summary
The Netlib repository, established by Eric Grosse and Jack Dongarra, is a significant resource in the realm of scientific computing, providing free access to mathematical software, databases, and papers. It supports the spread and development of numerical software solutions. Netlib’s significance is underscored by its role as a pivotal resource for researchers and industry professionals in high-performance computing and scientific research. It has been foundational in the implementation and development of multiple numerical libraries that are widely used in various computational applications. The repository’s role in democratizing access to high-performance computing resources and encouraging open-source contributions has cemented its importance in computational research and development. Citations to this repository are found in research on numerical methods and in tools that implement high-performance computational tasks. However, due to the nature of being a repository rather than a single research output, its influence is typically more generalized across the computational sciences.
