Have you ever been interested in how mainframes work and how to develop software on them? Well a lot of very smart people have developed emulation software that emulates an IBM System/370 architecture. The following is from the Hercules website: Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe…

Introduction From the LAPACK Website: LAPACK - Linear Algebra PACKage LAPACK routines are written so that as much as possible of the computation is performed by calls to the Basic Linear…www.netlib.org LAPACK is written in Fortran 90 and provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. The associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR, SVD, Schur, generalized Schur) are also provided, as are related…

Introduction Fortran is not a dead language. Much scientific and financial code is written in Fortran. An example would be the BLAS library (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms). …
