Yes, it's called NBSLIB.  It's being tested.
I won't post the address, but I'll send it to Earl.  Just like netlib.
The problem is some of the programs are out of date (like the Livermore
loops).  Frank McMahon (LOOPS author, aka the MFLOPS program [the
original use of MFLOPS, BTW in the 1950s) has to updtae the NBS's 14
loop kernel to the more modern 24 LOOP [significantly better in my opinion]
kernel.

Faces:
Herman Chernoff. "The Use of Faces to Represent Points in k-Dimensional
Space Graphically," Journal of the American Statistical Association,
68 June 1973.  May I suggest the use of a Cray icon (Cray-1) because it
has more dimensionlity than most boxes out there.  Cray-2 does not have
enough (it lost the seats).  This is why we need a graphical (raster)
data standard to transfer pictures of data better.  The Bar graph was
not as good as I would hopes.  Check out Tufte's book on data (Then
watch one of those Apple Mac ads and see what Apple does wrong).

Bye.
