GAUSS

GAUSS – High-Performance and Scalable Software for Numerical Analysis and Statistics

GAUSS is a powerful software system designed for solving complex numerical computation problems across statistics, econometrics, time series analysis, and optimization. It is widely used in economics, finance, portfolio management, and engineering applications. No other solution combines such a robust set of tools with an advanced analytical environment, precision, fast development cycles, and execution speed like GAUSS.

🔍 Why GAUSS?

GAUSS is based on a matrix-oriented high-level language and has been the go-to solution for professional users for decades—especially when fast, intensive numerical and statistical computations are essential.

Ideal for rapid prototyping of custom algorithms, GAUSS is equipped with a 64-bit compiler for scalable implementation—from desktop use to enterprise-level deployment. If you need to move gigabytes of data and don’t want to spend years learning C or FORTRAN, GAUSS is your number crunching powerhouse.

Thanks to user-defined multithreading, GAUSS delivers maximum performance on modern multi-core systems and ensures that your algorithms are ready for the future.
