Improved Performance

• Algorithms in the JMSL Numerical Library V5.0 have been updated to take advantage of new features in Java that will help improve application performance. JMSL Numerical Library users should see significant performance improvement, especially in function areas like Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms and matrix multiplication.
• Reviewed low-level BLAS functions integrated into the library and updated many methods to use the best techniques available for tasks like copying arrays and computing dot products.

Process Control Charts

• The JMSL Numerical Library V5.0 offers 13 new classes of process control charts. Any application that requires quantitative analysis (e.g., SixSigma quality management applications, environmental applications, life sciences applications) could benefit from being able to visualize process data in these highly customizable charts. New types available include:
  • X-Bar/R-Chart
  • CuSum chart
  • P-Chart and NP-Chart
  • Pareto Chart
  • U- and C-Charts

New Functions

• A set of classes to support sparse linear algebra (for matrices in which most of the elements are zero) common in application areas like engineering and financial modeling.
  • Also included is SuperLU, a popular package to solve sparse LU factorization problems.
• A spline 2D function to help with the computation of curves. Common application areas for spline computations include science (e.g., surface computations in physics), biomechanics and business.
• Two new solvers for linear systems of equations. Implementations of the restarted Generalized Minimum Residual (GMRES) method and a Conjugate Gradient method for symmetric positive definite systems add more options to developers solving dense linear systems.
