C-SSL II

The C-SSL II project produced a C interface to the Fujitsu Scientific Software Library (SSL). The SSL is a library of sequential computational mathematics routines similar to the NAG library.

Here are some of the C-SSL II technical reports.

Performance issues

This document presents our early understanding of some of the issues involved in the development of a C language interface to the SSL II VP. Our main consideration in this document is the performance of such a library but we also discuss some other important aspects of the design of the library.

Documentation

This report discusses the issues involved in the development and production of technical documentation in multiple formats: printed, hypertext and man-page. We focus especially on two issues: the emerging hypertext formats, and facilities which simplify the production of multiple output formats. The study is directed by our need to produce technical documentation for the C library, but it has a much wider applicability.
