Harwell Subroutine Library (HSL)

The Harwell Subroutine Library (HSL) is a suite of ANSI Fortran 77 subroutines and Fortran 90 modules for scientific computation. The scope of the library covers:

  • automatic differentiation
  • numerical solution of differential equations, including stiff solvers,
  • eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices
  • special functions of mathematical physics and statistics sorting and indexing
  • linear programming
  • linear algebra, for full and sparse matrices solution of non-linear equations polynomial and rational functions
  • interpolation and approximation
  • optimisation (with and without constraints) and data fitting
Release 12 has some significant new features including: New sparse matrix routines incorporating the most advanced algorithms (for the first time parallel processing is supported), and a new collection of routines for the iterative solution of large linear systems.
