The main thing I'd need to know before looking at it more is how the user-specified error tolerances are used by each package -- otherwise it's not clear that the runtimes can be compared on a like-for-like basis. If that is ok, it may be that GSL routines are overestimating the error, and hence taking smaller steps. > Sundials is BSD licensed - are there ways to (legally) incorporate it > into GSL?

The license is compatible, so it can be used side-by-side with GSL as an independent packages. I think that is the best way to use it. > On the other hand, there are several articles in scientific journals, > including a long one in ACM TOMS.

If somebody wanted to implement some of the algorithms in the GSL framework that would be cool. -- Brian Gough _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list Help-gsl@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
