Its purpose is to provide a way to explore an extensive collection of problems (over 500 different test problems to date), provide a way to compare existing packages, provide a way to use a large test problem collection with new packages, provide motivation for building a meaningful set of new interesting test problems, provide ways to manage and update the system efficiently, and do all the above on a variety of popular platforms. <description><url>http://www.rl.ac.uk/departments/ccd/numerical/cute/cute.html</url> <reference><url>ftp://138.48.4.14/pub/reports/cute.ps.gz</url> <contact> <keywords>optimization; numerical library <category>numerical <publication-date>January 1995 <environment> CUTE is written is standard ANSI Fortran 77.
