Sun Math Library

If you focus on compute-intensive application, you can increase performance by using the optimized math libraries provided with Sun Performance WorkShop Fortran. The libm math library bundled with the Solaris operating environment contains the functions required by the various standards to which the Solaris software conforms. Some features of the math library are:

• Single, double, and quadruple floating-point numeric formats

• Algebraic, transcendental, rounding, conversion, and random number functions

• Table-driven algorithms for maximum speed and accuracy
