ROGUE WAVE ANNOUNCES OBJECT-ORIENTED, C++ VERSION OF LAPACK

The Most Advanced C++ Solution for Linear Algebra

The Power of LAPACK, the Convenience of Object-Oriented Technology

CORVALLIS, OR -- January 11, 1994 -- Rogue Wave Software, Inc., the leading
developer of C++ class libraries, continues to revolutionize scientific
programming by announcing the shipment of LAPACK.h++. This new C++ class
library extends the C++ language to include numerical algorithms that were
previously available only in FORTRAN. Supported platforms for LAPACK.h++
include UNIX, MS-DOS, Windows, NT, OS/2 and a wide variety of C++
compilers, including Borland C++, Microsoft C++, and AT&T cfront derived
compilers. Pricing starts as low as $599. LAPACK.h++ will be marketed
directly through Rogue Wave as well as Rogue Wave's distributors and
resellers.

LAPACK.h++ provides a complete, intuitive, object-oriented interface to the
entities and algorithms used in numerical linear algebra. The algorithms
themselves are taken from the most modern, fast, and complete procedural
linear algebra library available today: LAPACK. All of the functionality,
and more, is available in LAPACK.h++.

Dr Thomas Keffer, president of Rogue Wave, says "Rogue Wave pioneered the
field of object-oriented numerics with Math.h++ and Linpack.h++. With
LAPACK.h++, we continue to provide the very latest in object-oriented
technology."

Product Particulars:

LAPACK.h++ includes classes for solving systems of equations, computing
determinants, inverses and condition numbers, solving over and under
determined systems of equations, solving symmetric/Hermitian eigenvalue
problems, non-symmetric eigenvalue problems, and computing and using
orthogonal and singular value decompositions. LAPACK.h++ also includes
classes for representing and using various shapes of matrices, including
general, symmetric, tri-diagonal, banded, symmetric banded, Hermitian,
banded Hermitian, upper triangular, lower triangular, and skew-symmetric
matrices.

Rogue Wave will be including Math.h++ with LAPACK.h++, providing all the
basics for numerical programming including vectors, matrices, arrays,
random numbers, FFT's, and much, much more. LAPACK.h++ also uses the
RWFile and virtual streams classes from Rogue Wave's Tools.h++, the
industry standard C++ foundation class library, making all objects fully
persistent.
