(The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd: Oxford, UK) -- Quality engineers, many of whom are already contending with slower performance of legacy applications originally developed for 32-bit processors that are now operating in 64-bit systems or supercomputer-level resources, can obtain a white paper tailored for concerns of environmental researchers. “The Benefits of Using Rigorously Tested Routines from Numerical Libraries,” quality assurance engineering edition, can be obtained by writing to [email protected].

The white paper was written to help quality assurance engineers and others designing quality control systems to understand how and why to incorporate extensively documented numerical libraries into their application development practices.

The subject matter discussed in the NAG Library Guide white paper is of growing importance to a wide range of finance, industrial, business, scientific research, and engineering applications because of recent multicore processor developments and the emergence of graphical processing unit (GPU) chips and widespread access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources.
