OctaveIntroductionOctave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran, or other languages. VersionVersion 2.1.5 is currently available at OSC. AvailabilityOctave is available on the Glenn Cluster. UsageTo begin use of Octave, type module load octave Then, to run the program, type octave or, to begin use of Octave, type octave-2.9.12 DocumentationGeneral documentation is available from the Octave home page. |
