+ PUNC (Portable Understructure for Numerical Computing) is a small standard
+ collection of software libraries for numerical computing. The PUNC
+ collection includes reference implementations of the standard (dense matrix)
+ linear algebra tools BLAS and LAPACK, and also includes some newer (sparse
+ matrix) linear algebra tools ARPACK, SuperLU, CgCode, and PMG. PUNC also
+ provides some additional basic infrastructure such as the standard F2C
+ header and corresponding library (libF2C), to support the use of F2C'd
+ FORTRAN codes, and some other standard tools used to build numerical
+ simulation software, such as the HDF5 library. While most of the libraries
+ included in PUNC are completely stand-alone, and are the reference
+ implementations developed by the individual library authors, PUNC also
+ provides some Object-oriented C wrappers (written by the FETK developers)
+ for use with Object-oriented C/C++ codes such as FETK . This is accomplished
+ by building PUNC on top of FETK 's MALOC library.
