The Gentoo Scientific Project handles math and science related activities in Gentoo. This includes maintaining packages that belong to various math and science related herds, fortran compilers, documentations and communications.
The goals of Scientific Gentoo are to provide a simple but optimal installation and configuration of a wide variety of math and science applications. Scientific computing is an area where custom optimization provides great benefit. We also provide tools to easily switch configurations, and relevant documentations. We give special attention to ways to test the packages, through regression suites, and benchmarks.
New packages and more complex version bumps are held in
