Colorado-Boulder, 7 U. Tennessee Summary Software developed and supported by the Terascale Optimal PDE Simulations (TOPS) project is in use in projects similar to those in the SciDAC portfolio around the globe. SciDAC applications groups are actively assisting TOPS in the development of scalable solver software by using it, porting it, “breaking” it, comparing it to other solvers, asking for additional functionality, suggesting changes, and in some cases, actually contributing new routines to it. However, SciDAC-supported users are not the only users contributing to TOPS software development in this manner. Some of the software packages developed, made interoperable, and maintained through TOPS have active user communities numbering in the hundreds, including Hypre, PETSc, SUNDIALS, SuperLU, and TAO. The user communities of these and other TOPS packages span many areas included in the DOE Office of Science portfolio. In the interest of encouraging the sharing of information about TOPS software across user groups, some representative publications produced with the aid of TOPS software within the past two years are listed here.

TOPS solver software has been incorporated into numerous other packages, some commercial and some freely available. We list here some widely distributed packages maintained outside of the SciDAC program that employ or interface to TOPS software “under the hood”: Dspice, EMSolve, FEMLAB ® , FIDAP ® , Global Arrays, HP Mathematical Library ® , libMesh, Magpar, Mathematica ® , NIKE, Prometheus, SCIRun, SLEPc, Snark, Trilinos. TOPS software is taught in many courses in the U.S. and abroad, and forms a core of the DOE ACTS toolkit tutorial. TOPS software is also regularly featured in short courses at professional meetings.
