SLATEC Math Lib for G77

08/09/2016

SLATEC Mathematical Library v4.1

for the GNU Fortran G77 port to Win32
Binaries and documentation
The Fortran sources are available from any Netlib mirror site. SLATEC is a large (902user-callable routines) general purpose mathematical library,created by the American National Laboratories (Los Alamos,Lawrence Livermore,
NIST, Oak Ridge, Sandia etc.), thus one maysafely assume that it contains everything that's likely to beneeded in a research environment. The library itself is composedby a selection of routines normally found scattered in many
otherpackages, such as BLAS, LINPACK, EISPACK, SLAP, FFTPACK, FISHPACK,LLSQ, MINPACK, MP, PCHIP, QUADPACK and SPLPACK. Extensive HTML-formatteddocumentation of the SLATEC routines is
available courtesy of Mr Chris Stoughtonof Fermilab. The documentation files are gathered together in aZIP archive (see below), thus the user can install these in asuitable directory and access the routine descriptions as localHTML
files using any web browser, such as Netscape or MicrosoftInternet Explorer.

Important Note
Some of the BLAS1 routines in SLATEC have been replaced by thefast (Pentium-optimized, assembly language coded ) routines of DrManuelKessler. This results in a considerable speedup in manycritical operations, such as
vector dot products. This, in turn,speeds up many common tasks that depend on these optimizedroutines (e.g., the solution of large systems of linear equations.)

The Library archive

slateclib.zip (1.3Mb)
Unzip the archive to extract the file libslatec.a thatit contains and place it in the directory containing thelibraries in an existing G77 installation (typically that'll be C:\G77\Lib\).The archive also contains the file readme2.txt with
basicinstructions of use.

The SLATEC Routines Documentation

slatecdoc.zip ( 2.11Mb)
These are the HTML-formatted SLATEC routine description pages.Unzip the archive in any suitable directory (e.g., C:\G77\SlatecDoc)and open up the (starting) document slatec.htmlwith any web browser like Netscape or
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
