SciComputing
The article has been accepted
I have just arrived from Comsol Multiphysics Workshop and I found an email that my article, submitted some time ago, has been accepted and it will be published in Physical Review E journal. If you didn’t notice yet, I have to mention that it is the first article where I am the first author, so [...]
COMSOL Multiphysics Workshop
Today, I attended a small workshop, “Comsol Multiphysics”. If you are not aware what is this “piece” of software I can say that is a great environment to solve any physical problems on computer. From their website: “The COMSOL Multiphysics simulation environment facilitates all steps in the modelling process, defining your geometry, specifying your physics, [...]
42 Free Linux Scientific Software
If you are using Linux for Scientific Computing, like me, then a list with some free applications for Linux with a short description for every application is nice to have. The link is here.
Installing Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) on OpenSUSE 10.3
The Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) is a collection of components developed by Enthought to construct custom scientific applications. It includes a wide variety of components, including: an extensible application framework application building blocks 2-D and 3-D graphics libraries scientific and math libraries developer tools MayaVi Data Visualizer It is available for Linux, Mac OS X [...]
SciComp on Windows with Python(x,y)
If you are doing a lot of Scientific Computing and you want to use Windows as a platform, then my advice is to switch on Linux/Unix. If you don’t agree with me then a good solution for you is Python(x,y). What is it? From their web site: “Python(x,y) is a free scientific and engineering development [...]
SAGE: Open Source Math Software
“Sage is a huge distribution of free open source mathematical software: Algebra and calculus: Maxima, SymPy High precision arithmetic: GMP, MPFR, MPFI, quaddouble, Givaro Commutative algebra: Singular Number theory: PARI, NTL, mwrank, ECM, FLINTQS, GMP-ECM Exact linear algebra: LinBox, IML Group theory: GAP Scientific computation: GSL, SciPy, NumPy, cvxopt Statistical computation: R Graphics (2d and [...]
Parallel scientific code development
If you are interested in a short overview about what is Scientific Programming and which are the tools used in general, here is a short but very nice article: A case study on large-scale parallel scientific code development. Just a short summary: “All codes use the message passing interface (MPI) library to achieve parallelism. In [...]
