New ACM TOMS publication highlights the evolution of Trilinos

31 März 2026

 

A new paper on the current status of Trilinos has been published in ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (ACM TOMS), bringing together contributions from numerous current and former developers, including Matthias Mayr from IMCS. Building on the original 2005 overview by Heroux et al., the publication reflects significant developments in the framework, including the adoption of the Kokkos ecosystem for performance portability across heterogeneous hardware and the deprecation of Epetra. The paper provides an updated perspective on Trilinos as a community-driven, open-source framework for large-scale, multiscale, and multiphysics simulations, highlighting its modern software design, organization into product areas, and evolving contribution model.
