Computer Physics Communications Program Library
The CPC Program Library is an integral part of the journal Computer Physics Communications. The Library's function is the storage and dissemination of refereed computer programs in physics and physical chemistry, whose detailed descriptions have been published in the journal Computer Physics Communications. The Program Library provides access via the Internet to the Library programs and to the corresponding full-text articles. The Program Library currently holds over 1,800 refereed computer programs which have been contributed by scientists from all over the world. As such it represents a major repository of computational knowledge and technique. These programs range in size from under one thousand to tens of thousands of lines of code. The contributed programs have been coded in a variety of programming languages including Algol, Ada, C, C , Lisp, Mathematica, Maple, Occam and Pascal: however, the vast majority of contributions are programmed in Fortran.
DOE Information Bridge
