ACTS

An overview of the Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) collection. The ACTS Collection brings together a number of general-purpose computational tools that were developed by independent research projects mostly funded and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. These tools tackle a number of common computational issues found in many applications, mainly implementation of numerical algorithms, and support for code development, execution, and optimization. In this article, we introduce the numerical tools in the collection and their functionalities, present a model for developing more complex computational applications on top of ACTS tools, and summarize applications that use these tools. Last, we present a vision of the ACTS project for deployment of the ACTS Collection by the computational sciences community.

This software is also peer reviewed by journal TOMS.
