This is to announce the release of the Colt V1.0 Beta 4 distribution. Check out the online documentation and/or download at http://nicewww.cern.ch/~hoschek/colt/index.htm Scope ===== The Colt distribution provides an open source infrastructure for scalable scientific and technical computing in Java. It contains, among others, efficient and usable data structures and algorithms for Off-line and On-line Data Analysis, Linear Algebra, Multi-dimensional arrays, Statistics, Histogramming, Monte Carlo Simulation, Parallel & Concurrent Programming. Contents ======== The Colt distribution consists of several free Java libraries, for user convenience bundled under one single uniform umbrella. The Colt library provides fundamental general-purpose data structures optimized for numerical data, such as resizable arrays, dense and sparse matrices (multi-dimensional arrays), linear algebra, associative containers and buffer management. The Jet library contains mathematical and statistical tools for data analysis, powerful histogramming functionality, Random Number Generators and Distributions useful for (event) simulations, and more. The JAL library, a partial port of the C++ Standard Template Library developed by Silicon Graphics, contains a wide range of efficiently coded general-purpose algorithms on arrays. The RngPack library contains random number generators. The CoreJava library contains C-like print formatting. The Concurrent library contains standardized, efficient utility classes commonly encountered in parallel & concurrent programming. Finally, the VNI library contains mathematical functions and complex numbers.
