A portable generic elementary function package in Ada and an accurate test suite

Description: A comprehensive set of elementary functions has been implemented portably in Ada. The high accuracy of the implementation has been confirmed by rigorous analysis. Moreover, we present new test methods that are efficient and offer a high resolution of 0.005 unit in the last place. These test methods have been implemented portably here and confirm the accuracy of our implemented functions. Reports on the accuracy of other function libraries obtained by our test programs are also presented. 26 ref… more

Implementing Automatic Differentiation Efficiently

Description: The automatic differentiation of computer arithmetic has been investigated since before 1960. Most of this effort has been centered on the forward mode of derivative evaluation. Speelpenning, Iri and Kubota, and Horwedel et al. have all implemented the more efficient reverse mode of evaluating derivatives in their respective Fortran precompilers. The reverse mode requires information about a computation to be stored in order that derivatives may be calculated after the function evaluation has b… more

Deconvolution/identification techniques for 1-D transient signals

Description: This paper discusses a variety of nonparametric deconvolution and identification techniques that we have developed for application to 1-D transient signal problems. These methods are time-domain techniques that use direct methods for matrix inversion. Therefore, they are not appropriate for large data'' problems. These techniques involve various regularization methods and permit the use of certain kinds of a priori information in estimating the unknown. These techniques have been implemented in… more

Multirate ordinary differential equation intergrator. [MRATE, in FORTRAN for IBM 360/75, CYBER 175, and INTERDATA 7/32]

Description: Most of the work on the numerical integration of systems of ordinary differential equations concerns itself with integrating all the variables simultaneously. There has been little theoretical work on integrating the variables separately (multirate methods), and even less in implementing a multirate ordinary differential equation integrator. A multirate integrator is presented in this work, and different schemes are tested. The implemented multirate integrator is applied to a variety of test pr… more

COMP: a basic non-linear last squares curve fitting package. [Interactive program for PDP-11/34 or 11/70]

Description: To find a mathematical model which describes (fits) data from a process which is fundamentally nonlinear, one usually uses nonlinear least-squares techniques on maxicomputers. These usually run in batch mode with the user supplying a model and initial ''guesstimates'' of its parameters. However, fitting the model to the data can be considered an art because computer algorithms either converge to true solutions, or converge to erroneous solutions, or fail to converge, depending on the quality of… more

FORTRAN programs for data fitting using orthogonal polynomials. [ORFIT, FIT, and TFIT, for PDP-11]

Description: The use of orthogonal functions in least-squares data fitting is discussed, and a FORTRAN subroutine (ORFIT) which uses orthogonal polynomials in data fitting is presented. Also described are two FORTRAN programs for fitting data which use the subroutine ORFIT. The first one, FIT, is a general-purpose data fitting program. The second one, TFIT, is specifically intended for use in calibrating cryogenic germanium resistance thermometers. TFIT fits lnT to a polynomial in lnR (where T and R are the… more

NURE rabbit and card reader

Description: The NURE Rabbit and IBM Card Reader is a LSI-11 based microcomputer system. The purpose of the rabbit and card reader is to read the drilled code (ID) on the polyethylene rabbit, read the punched data on the traveler card, and then store the code (ID) and the card data together as a record in a file on a floppy diskette. A record is 82 words long with the first 2 words being the rabbit ID number. The components involved are the card reader, the rabbit reader, the LSI-11 microcomputer and chassi… more

ZONE: a finite element mesh generator. [In FORTRAN IV for CDC 7600]

Description: The ZONE computer program is a finite-element mesh generator which produces the nodes and element description of any two-dimensional geometry. The geometry is subdivided into a mesh of quadrilateral and triangular zones arranged sequentially in an ordered march through the geometry. The order of march can be chosen so that the minimum bandwidth is obtained. The node points are defined in terms of the x and y coordinates in a global rectangular coordinate system. The zones generated are quadrila… more

MAFJ: some simple additions to MAFCO. [Generates magnetic fields resulting from collections of current elements, for CDC 7600 computer]

Description: MAFJ is a revision of the MAFCO code which generates magnetic fields (B) resulting from collections of current elements. In addition to the original MAFCO's capabilities, MAFJ follows field lines through a region of interest and calculates integrals of functions along these lines. It can also generate three-dimensional grids of B. MAFJ runs from eight to 15 times faster than MAFCO, depending on the types of current elements chosen. 2 tables.

Basic row-column operations with orthogonally linked sparse matrices for use with FORTRAN

Description: An orthogonally linked data structure is used to represent sparse rectangular matrices. This representation requires four type INTEGER locations and one type REAL location per nonzero entry in the matrix. Operations are presented that perform many of the basic computations required in numerical linear algebra. The operations are available in portable FORTRAN, with the exception of the necessarily operating-system-sensitive ''get'' and ''put'' subprogram for the individual records. The package o… more

Description: A data storage and recovery system was devised to allow the rapid collation and presentation of large quantities of data in three usable forms: a listing of all data on each experiment, a listing of preselected data, and a plot of any set of data points. The system employs a punch card data storage system, a card sorter, and a FORTRAN computer program. 7 figures.

Name management in the construction of large programs. [Modular decomposition, programmed in PL/I for IBM 360/65]

Description: There has been much recent work on the problem of constructing large programs. One aspect of this problem that has been somewhat ignored is the management of names during the program construction process. A framework emphasizing this aspect of the problem is presented. Linguistic constructs for the manipulation of names between independently written pieces of text are defined. An implementation model defining the effect of these constructs on the naming structure of the resulting language is pr… more

Description: The FBSAM subroutine package provides rapid movement of large blocks of data directly between user storage arrays and magnetic disk data sets. No buffer space is required. Large reductions in data transmission time and number of I/0 requests can be obtained. Moves can be concurrent with each other and with computation. A form of random access is available. A demonstration program provides a thorough test of all features. The package is intended for use by FORTRAN programers with little or no as… more

Computer implementation of Glimm's method. [Subroutine GLIMM, for solution of nonlinear hyperbolic equations, in FORTRAN for CDC 7600 computer]

Description: Glimm's method deals with the solution of a nonlinear hyperbolic equation. The method is rooted in the constructive proof by Glimm (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 18, 697 (1965)) that such systems have weak solutions. The Riemann problem is examined. The iterative method of Godunov, the selection of random numbers, and the actual implementation of Glimm's method are discussed. Usage of the FORTRAN subroutine GLIMM is explained; a flow chart is provided. Graphical results are presented for th… more

Upgrade of the GRESS (test version D) precompiler to allow triply-dimensioned arrays

Description: GRESS is a FORTRAN precompiler and run time library which automatically processes computer models and adds derivative-taking capabilities to the normal calculated results. The GRESS system is under development at ORNL and work is proceeding in upgrading test versions of the precompiler to allow processing by GRESS of most of the ANSI X3.9-1978 FORTRAN syntax. Heretofore, a major limitation has been the inability of GRESS to process arrays with more than two dimensions. Consequently, a significa… more
