Forensics and Space

Posted on March 18, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

Time to populate some of the sparser sections. Forensics sees an interesting addition today, The Sleuth Kit is a file system digital forensics tool. Also seeing new links is the underpopulated Space section, which adds Celestia, a space simulator that looks, umm…. stellar, and XStar which looks like a great time sink.

CMU Sphinx

Posted on March 17, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

A set of reasonably mature, world-class speech components that provide a basic level of technology to anyone interested in creating speech-using applications without the once-prohibitive initial investment cost in research and development; the same components are open to peer review by all researchers in the field, and are used for linguistic research as well.

POOMA and Blitz++

Posted on March 16, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

Two new entries today, both numerical libraries in C++ that specialize in linear algebra. POOMA and Blitz++ both use Expression templates, and POOMA appears to support parallel computation with MPI.

FreePOOMA C++ Numerical Library

Posted on March 13, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

FreePOOMA is a C++ library supporting element-wise, data-parallel, and
stencil-based physics computations using one or more processors. The
library automatically handles all interprocessor communication,
obviating the need for any explicit communication code. The library
supports high-level syntax close to mathematical or algorithmic syntax
(like Fortran 95), easing the conversion from algorithms to code.

Blitz++ library

Posted on March 13, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

Blitz++ is a C++ class library for scientific computing which provides performance on par with Fortran 77/90. It uses template techniques to achieve high performance. The current versions provide dense arrays and vectors, random number generators, and small vectors and matrices.

PSI3

Posted on March 9, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

The PSI3 suite of quantum chemical programs is designed for efficient, high-accuracy calculations of properties of small to medium-sized molecules. The package’s current capabilities include a variety of Hartree-Fock, coupled cluster, complete-active-space self-consistent-field, and multi-reference configuration interaction models.
