Description
GSL (the GNU Scientific Library) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite.
License
GSL is available under the GNU General Public License.
Benchmarks
None available.
Additional Notes
GSL is developed and maintained for the GCC compiler. As such it can be awkward to compile successfully with third party compilers. Consequently we are not able to provide a version built with the Intel compilers on Stokes and Stoney. In each case the test suite fails to complete after compilation. Users of Stokes and Stoney will need to link against a version built with GCC.
To use the GSL on Stokes, load the relevant environment module:
