In computer science, a library is a collection of non-volatile resources used by computer programs, often to develop software. These may include configuration data, documentation, help data, message templates, pre-written code and subroutines, classes, values or type specifications. In IBM's OS/360 and its successors they are referred to as partitioned data sets.
In computer science, a library is a collection of implementations of behavior, written in terms of a language, that has a well-defined interface by which the behavior is invoked. This means that as long as a higher level program uses a library to make system calls, it does not need to be re-written to implement those system calls over and over again. In addition, the behavior is provided for reuse by multiple independent programs. A program invokes the library-provided behavior via a mechanism of the language. For example, in a simple imperative language such as C, the behavior in a library is invoked by using C's normal function-call. What distinguishes the call as being to a library, versus being to another function in the same program, is the way that the code is organized in the system.
A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material, and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, and other formats. Libraries range in size from a few shelves of books to several million items. In Latin and Greek, the idea of bookcase is represented by Bibliotheca and Bibliothēkē (Greek: βιβλιοθήκη): derivatives of these mean library in many modern languages, e.g. French bibliothèque.
The first libraries consisted of archives of the earliest form of writing—the clay tablets in cuneiform script discovered in Sumer, some dating back to 2600 BC. Private or personal libraries made up of written books appeared in classical Greece in the 5th century BC. In the 6th century, at the very close of the Classical period, the great libraries of the Mediterranean world remained those of Constantinople and Alexandria.

Our students take us on a quick tour of the libraries and study spaces on campus here at the University of Salford.
In this seminar we begin with an overview of the numerical software packages developed in the past decades and the latest developments. We will take a look at the libraries and packages recently installed on SHARCNET systems. We will then focus on a number of selected libraries and packages and walk through them with examples. In particular, we would like to discuss the linear algebra packages in a collection of open source and proprietary libraries; the fastest FFT library FFTW; the peer reviewed C++ library Boost.Numeric.Odeint, intel ODE solvers and other packages for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs); the packages for solving linear and nonlinear (partial differential) equations (PDEs); the packages for optimization problems; the GNU scientific library (GSL); the parallel ...
Boost.Compute is a library for GPU/parallel-computing. It provides a high-level, STL-like API and is portable to a wide variety of parallel accelerators including GPUs, FPGAs, and multi-core CPUs. This talk will give an overview of the library and demonstrate how to write and execute high-performance C++ applications on modern GPU hardware.

Read your free e-book: http://easyget.us/mebk/50/en/B01D8T1NX2/book Analog and Hybrid Computing focuses on the operations of analog and hybrid computers. The book first outlines the history of computing devices that influenced the creation of analog and digital computers. The types of problems to be solved on computers, computing systems, and digital computers are discussed. The text looks at the theory and operation of electronic analog computers, including linear and non-linear computing units and use of analog computers as operational amplifiers. The monograph examines the preparation of problems to be deciphered on computers. Flow diagrams, methods of amplitude scaling, estimation of values and frequencies, and scaling of higher order equations are described. The text also looks at the...

This video is the 1st of 8 in a series on how to use the Vsync multicast library, available from vsync.codeplex.com as an open source platform for building highly assured distributed systems. They are all pretty long (sorry!) and are aimed at graduate students who are hoping to learn exactly how Vsync can be used in major projects, or at industry developers creating highly assured cloud computing solutions. The technical level assumes some familiarity with distributed systems and operating systems, but because these aim at potential developers and not at theoreticians, all are very practical and hands-on in style. The library was previously named Isis2, and this video has not yet been rerecorded to match the new name. This video offers a broad introduction to the features of the Vsyn...
AMD Fusion Developer Summit 2012. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/AFDS_2012 TM is open sourced and a ULL intended to assist developers in optimally programming parallel software on heterogeneous computing systems to achieve highest performance, throughput and utilization. Its primary function is to provide APIs for designing task based applications and implementing dynamic workload balancing across the entire heterogeneous system. TM offers popular parallelism methods in both data-parallel and task-level parallel ways. The complexities of dynamic task scheduling processes and heterogeneous hardware configurations are completely transparent to the developers. In latest TM releases, we have enabled lot of more new features like boost support, GMAC integration and TM server. Subs...
