MaRDI Open Interfaces (Q6534208): Difference between revisions

_MaRDI Open Interfaces_ is a project aiming to improve interoperability in scientific computing by removing two hurdles that computational scientists usually face in their daily work. These hurdles are the following. First, numerical solvers are often implemented in different programming languages. Second, these solvers have potentially significantly diverging interfaces in terms of function names, order of function arguments, and the invocation order. Therefore, when a computational scientist wants to switch from one solver to another, it could take non-negligible effort in code modification and testing for the correctness. _Open Interfaces_ aim to alleviate these problems by providing automatic data marshalling between different languages and a set of interfaces for typical numerical problems such as integration of differential equations and optimization.
