CERN Program Library

The CERN Program Library is a large collection of general purpose libraries and modules maintained and offered in both source and object code form on the CERN central computers. The two most popular applications based on CERNLIB are PAW and GEANT 3.21. Most of these programs were developed at CERN and are therefore oriented towards the needs of a physics research laboratory that is general mathematics, data analysis, detectors simulation, data-handling etc... applicable to a wide range of problems.

The development and support for CERNLIB is stopped.

Downloads The recommended way to install CERNLIB is from the preinstalled distribution kits but it is also possible to INSTALL it from the source files.
