The
CERN Program Library is a large collection of general purpose
libraries
and
modules
maintained and offered in both source and object code form on the CERN central
computers. The two most popular applications based on CERNLIB are
PAW and
GEANT 3.21.
Most of these programs were developed at CERN and are therefore
oriented towards the needs of a physics research laboratory that is
general mathematics, data analysis, detectors simulation,
data-handling etc... applicable to a wide range of problems.
Some tools like
cfortran.h
are developed outside CERN.
Some
commercial softwares (e.g: NAG etc ...)
have also been acquired.
