GSL is available on selected bwHPC-Clusters. A complete list of versions currently installed on the bwHPC-Clusters can be obtained from the [https://www.bwhpc.de/software.html Cluster Information System (CIS)].

In order to check which versions of GSL are installed on the compute cluster, run the following command:
<pre>
<pre>
$ module avail numlib/gsl
$ man gsl
</pre>
</pre>

= Loading the module =
You can load the default version of the GSL library with the command<br>
'module load numlib/gsl'.
<br>
The module will try to load modules it needs to function.
If loading the module fails, check if you have already loaded one of those modules with the command 'module list'.
<br>
If you wish to load a specific (older) version (if available), you can do so using e.g.
' module load numlib/gsl/'version' to load the version you desires.

Description

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a software library for numerical computations in applied mathematics and science. GSL is written in C, but bindings exist for other programming languages as well. The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite.

The complete range of subject areas covered by the library:

• Complex Numbers • Roots of Polynomials • Special Functions • Vectors and Matrices • Permutations • Sorting • BLAS Support • Linear Algebra • Eigensystems • Fast Fourier Transforms • Quadrature • Random Numbers • Quasi-Random Sequences • Random Distributions • Statistics • Histograms • N-Tuples • Monte Carlo Integration • Simulated Annealing • Differential Equations • Interpolation • Numerical Differentiation • Chebyshev Approximation • Series Acceleration • Discrete Hankel Transforms • Root-Finding • Minimization • Least-Squares Fitting • Physical Constants • IEEE Floating-Point • Discrete Wavelet Transforms • Basis splines • Running Statistics • Sparse Matrices and Linear Algebra

How to use GSL

A man page is available and can be accessed by typing 

$ man gsl

Includes

Your source code should contain preprocessor include statements with a gsl/prefix such as 

#include <gsl/gsl_math.h>

Compile

A typical compilation command for a source file 'example.c' using the Intel C compiler icc is 

 $ icc -Wall -I$GSL_INC_DIR -c example.c

The $GSL_INC_DIR environment variable points to the location of the include path for the GSL header files.

Link

The following command can be used to link the application with the GSL libraries: 

 $ icc -L$GSL_LIB_DIR -o example example.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm

The $GSL_LIB_DIR environment variable points to the location of the GSL libraries. Also make sure to have the GSL module loaded before running applications build with this library.
