Abstract: As the number of high-performance numerical software packages grows, larger and more complex computational problems can be solved by scientists and engineers. This rapid growth in capabilities, however, makes the task of applying the best solution method to a given problem increasingly challenging because of the number and complexity of solutions of available. In our work we focus on the usability challenges the current implementations of numerical software pose.
We present example ways in which usability and performance can be improved through organizing software into searchable taxonomies, annotated with performance information with use cases.
