Overview

Lintel is a utility library which originated in the Storage Systems Department of HP Laboratories. It is a collection of useful library and utility code which were used in other software.

Some of the contents of Lintel include:

1. Statistics classes, with linkage for C++ and Perl.
2. Random number generators, including MersenneTwister and Marsaglia's CMWC generator family.
3. Container classes w/better performance than the stl, including HashTable, Deque, and PriorityQueue.
4. Clock class wrapping around the cycle counter.
5. Mercury, a plotting language which interfaces with SQL, Perl, and gnuplot.
6. Atomic class wrapping atomic operations primitives (e.g. locked compare and swap).
7. batch-parallel; scripting support for running many jobs in parallel potentially across a cluster.
