Linux and Open Source in Math, Science and Engineering
- 1. Linux and Open Source in Math, Science and Engineering Dr. Doug Davis (3D) pde1d.blogspot.com
- 2. Agenda A bit of history Where we are Visualization Math Engineering Science Watt's steam engine at the lobby of the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering of Madrid Wikimedia Commons
- 3. A bit of History Computers originally for Computing Unix developed for telephone system Human computers in the NACA High Speed Flight Station "Computer Room", Dryden Flight Research Center Facilities WikiMedia Commons
- 4. 1960s and 70s Mainframe era IBM, CDC, Cray, Burroughs Corporation, DEC, NCR, General Electric, Honeywell, RCA, and UNIVAC Fortran Programs Hollerith Cards Beginnings of interactive programing Thomas J. Watson, Sr. was fired several times by John Henry Patterson the owner of NCR in Dayton, Ohio. So he went to work for Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) which became IBM under his leadership
- 5. 1980 and 90s Early PC and MAC 2D AutoCAD Graphic Engineering Workstations 3D graphics High price High performance Unix variants
- 6. 2000s This is a picture of the TinyHPC Beowulf cluster Beowulf cluster MPI – Message Passing Interface PVM – Parallel Virtual Machine COW – Cluster of Workstations LOBOS – Lots Of Boxes On Shelves The name Beowulf originally referred to a specific computer built in 1994 by Thomas Sterling and Donald Becker at NASA.

- 10. One Killer Feature of Linux for S&E in My Opinion Anyway GPM - gpm provides mouse cut-and-paste services Highlight, then mouse middle click, to paste selected text Fast and simple way to transfer numbers between programs Command line file names, ls → <command> → double click→ middle click With OO Calc can transfer whole text tables eMail and web addresses Works with vi, kwrite, gedit, OO writer, etc.

- 32. OpenFOAM http://www.openfoam.com/ Arbitrary Polyhedral Cell Field Solver Separate Solvers for Different Problems Really a framework OpenCFD Ltd. acquired by SGI An extensive set of OpenFOAM solvers has evolved (and is forever growing) that are available to users. OpenFOAM is used mainly for CFD but has found use in other areas such as stress analysis, electromagnetics and finance because it is fundamentally a tool for solving partial differential equations rather than a CFD package in the traditional sense.
