[301,016] SSPLIB - MODIFIED IBM SCIENTIFIC SUBROUTINE PACKAGE FOR PDP-11 Base level: Version 01 Date: 26-NOV-77 Patch level: None Date: Submitted by: Charles South (as received from Dr. Kaplan) Hughes Research Labs 3011 Malibu Canyon Rd. Malibu, CA 90265 (213) 456-6411 Description: This is approximately the IBM/360 Scientific Subroutine Package (SSP), modified to run using F4P. It should be independent of operating system (i.e. RSX-11M, D, or IAS). There is no guarantee that the routines will compile as supplied using FOR, but they might. The supplied OLB file is the result of compilation w/ F4P, version 2.50, with the default switches of optimization and TR:BLOCKS. System reqts: As compiled, requires FPP hardware (11/34,45,55,60,70). Speed and space obviously vary greatly from one routine to another. Documentation: None internally (including NO comments in source). For description of subroutines see: IBM System/360 Scientific Subroutine Package Programmer's Manual Document # GH20-0205-4 (or more recent version, if one exists) Status: No compilation errors. It is well known that for some situations this library does not use the latest or best algorithms for solving a given problem. However, it is widely used. Desired enhancements: Further information on run characteristics on PDP-11s, and/or further documentation on peculiarities of various subroutines. Support: The librarian will endeavor to keep a file of reported problems, fixes, etc., but this is a use-at-your-own-risk package.
