LINPACK
Monday, October 23rd, 2006This is probably well-known to everyone in physics, but less well-known to pure mathematicians. For a open-source high quality implementation of linear algebra computations such as finding eigenvalues, the standard is LAPACK (distributed by Netlib, a numerical source code repository). It is so standard, in fact, that tuned versions exist for individual architectures, and LAPACK performance is frequently used to benchmark processors.
