Debian Science Engineering-dev packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages which might be helpful for development of applications for Engineering.

You might also be interested in the science-engineering metapackage.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Science Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Science which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Science to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Science mailing list

The Adaptable IO System (ADIOS) provides a simple, flexible way for scientists to describe the data in their code that may need to be written, read, or processed outside of the running simulation. By providing an external to the code XML file describing the various elements, their types, and how you wish to process them this run, the routines in the host code (either Fortran or C) can transparently change how they process the data.

BoxLib is a foundation library of C++ classes that facilitate the development of block-structured finite difference algorithms such as arise in the solution of systems of partial differential equations. BoxLib is particularly useful in designing and building adaptive algorithms. BoxLib contains rich data structures for describing operations which take place on data defined in regions of index space that are unions of non-intersecting rectangles. Because we are interested in unsteady problems where the regions of interest may change in response to an evolving solution, support is provided in BoxLib for efficiently building and destroying the data structures. All constructs in BoxLib are designed to run efficiently in parallel.

BoxLib is the foundation library for the PMAMR (porous media) , (low Mach number combustion), CASTRO (compressible astrophysics) codes. and NYX (cosmology) codes. An analogous version of BoxLib written entirely in Fortran90 is the foundation library for the MAESTRO code, for example.

The Elmer multiphysics simulation package includes physical models of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, and acoustics, among others. These are described by partial differential equations which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Elmer uses METIS (or its free counterpart Scotch) for mesh partitioning, and (P)ARPACK, UMFPACK, BLAS/LAPACK, and hypre to solve the sparse linear systems resulting from FEM discretization. It includes pre- and post-processors, and several examples illustrating simulation of various physical phenomena.

Elmer's lead institution is CSC in collaboration with Finnish universities, research institutes, and industry.

This package contains the static libraries and header files for eio, huti, and matc, as well as the Elmer solver shared library symlink. These are used for developing Elmer, and are not needed to run the software.

This package contains the development files (headers, so and static libraries) for MAdLib.

MAdLib is a library that performs global node repositioning and mesh adaptation by local mesh modifications on tetrahedral or triangular meshes. It is designed to frequently adapt the mesh in transient computations. MAdLib is written in C++.

The adaptation procedure is driven by two objectives:

  • make the edge lengths as close as possible to a (non-homogenous)

    prescribed length,

  • maintain a satisfying element quality everywhere.

MAdLib can be used in transient computations in order to maintain a satisfying element quality (moving boundaries, multiphase flows with interface tracking, ...) or/and to apply selective refinements and coarsenings (error estimators based, interface capturing: shocks, free surfaces, ...).

Silo is a library for reading and writing a wide variety of scientific data to binary, disk files. The files Silo produces and the data within them can be easily shared and exchanged between wholly independently developed applications running on disparate computing platforms. Consequently, Silo facilitates the development of general purpose tools for processing scientific data. One of the more popular tools that process Silo data files is the VisIt visualization tool.

Silo supports gridless (point) meshes, structured meshes, unstructured-zoo and unstructured-arbitrary-polyhedral meshes, block structured AMR meshes, constructive solid geometry (CSG) meshes, piecewise-constant (e.g. zone-centered) and piecewise-linear (e.g. node-centered) variables defined on the node, edge, face or volume elements of meshes as well as the decomposition of meshes into arbitrary subset hierarchies including materials and mixing materials. In addition, Silo supports a wide variety of other useful objects to address various scientific computing application needs. Although the Silo library is a serial library, it has some key features which enable it to be applied quite effectively and scalable in parallel.

Architecturally, the library is divided into two main pieces; an upper-level application programming interface (API) and a lower-level I/O implementation called a driver. Silo supports multiple I/O drivers, the two most common of which are the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) and PDB (Portable Data Base) drivers.

The finite element method (FEM) package SyFi is a C++ library built on top of the symbolic math library GiNaC. The name SyFi stands for Symbolic Finite Elements. The package provides polygonal domains, polynomial spaces, and degrees of freedom as symbolic expressions that are easily manipulated. This makes it easy to define finite elements and variational forms. These elements and forms are then used to generate efficient C++ code.

SyFi is similar to FFC in the sense that it has a compiler that generates UFC code based on variational forms and finite elements. It is also similar to FIAT in the sense that it implements many different finite elements.

This package will always depend on the most recent version of libsyfiX-dev (X=version), so if you install it then you will get upgrades automatically.

One or more data sets of thousands of data points (X and Y coordinate) may be displayed and updated in split seconds. The widget is therfore used in many scientific and private projects that need to show quickly changing data live. GtkDatabox offers the ability to zoom into and out of the data and to navigate through your data by scrolling.

In addition to rulers and a simple coordinate cross, GtkDatabox now also allows you to add one (or even more) configurable grids like on an oscilloscope.

Data may be presented as dots, lines connecting the data, or vertical bars. The widget allows you to easily transform pixel coordinates into data coordinates, thus allowing you to easily create powerful applications for data analysis.

The NetCDF-Java library implements a Common Data Model (CDM), a generalization of the NetCDF, OpenDAP and HDF5 data models. The library is a prototype for the NetCDF-4 project, which provides a C language API for the "data access layer" of the CDM, on top of the HDF5 file format. The NetCDF-Java library is a 100% Java framework for reading netCDF and other file formats into the CDM, as well as writing to the netCDF-3 file format. The NetCDF-Java library also implements NcML, which allows you to add metadata to CDM datasets, as well as to create virtual datasets through aggregation.
