Paraffinalia free software
The software packages available here have been developed for use in various engineering and scientific calculations. All are released under the GNU General Public License so they are free (as in freedom) software with absolutely no guarantee or warranty. It is your responsibility, as with all numerical software, to satisfy yourself that a code, and its inputs, are giving answers you are prepared to rely on. The codes are documented, in the form of HTML pages describing the basic structure of the libraries and the functions in them. This documentation is installed when you install the packages.
Source code for the packages is now available on github:
- BEM3D, the boundary element library and codes
- SISL, the simple iterative solver library
- WMPI, the wrapper library for MPI systems
- GQR, the Gaussian Quadrature Rule library
- WBFMM, a Wide Band Fast Multipole Library
Other software
The codes you will find here depend on a number of packages produced by other people and you will need to install some or all of them in order to use the software here. These packages are:
- GMSH for meshing and visualization.
- the GNU Scientific Library.
- the GNU Triangulated Surface library for geometry handling.
- the Matheval library for function evaluation.
- LAPACK for linear algebra.
- A Basic Linear Algebra System such as the the Netlib or ATLAS implementation.
