Scientific software libraries have long provided a large and growing resource for high-quality, reusable software components upon which applications from science and engineering can be rapidly constructed — with improved robustness, portability, and sustainability. For this, a team of researchers from four collaborating organizations proposed to develop BALLISTIC (Basic ALgebra Libraries for Sustainable Technology with Interdisciplinary Collaboration). The BALLISTIC project, through the leading-edge research it channels into its software deliverables, will lead to the introduction of tools that will simplify the transition to the next generation of extreme-scale computer architectures. The main impact of the project will be to develop, push, and deploy software into the scientific community to make it competitive on a world-wide scale and to contribute to standardization efforts in the area. BALLISTIC has the potential to become the community standard for dense linear algebra and be adopted and/or supported by a large community of users, computing centers, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) vendors. Learning to use numerical libraries is a basic part of the education of a computational scientist or engineer in many fields and at many academic institutions. BALLISTIC will have a correspondingly large impact on the research and education community, government laboratories, and private industry and support national efforts to build a workforce capable of employing state of the art tools in pursuit of science and engineering discoveries.The goal of BALLISTIC is to create a layered package of software components that is capable of running at every level of the platform deployment pyramid and achieves three complementary objectives: (1) deliver seamless access to the most up-to-date algorithms, numerics, and performance via familiar Sca/LAPACK interfaces, wherever possible; (2) make advanced algorithms, numerics, and performance capabilities available through new interface extensions, wherever necessary; and (3) provide a well-engineered conduit through which new discoveries at the frontiers of research in these areas can be channeled as quickly as possible to all the applications from science and engineering communities that depend on high-performance linear algebra libraries.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

长期以来，科学软件库为高质量，可重复使用的软件组件提供了大量且不断增长的资源，可以快速构建科学和工程的应用，并具有改善的鲁棒性，可移植性和可持续性。为此，来自四个合作组织的研究人员团队提议开发弹道（通过跨学科合作的基本代数库，用于可持续技术的基本代数图书馆）。弹道项目通过领先的研究IT通道进入其软件可交付成果，将导致引入工具，从而简化向下一代极端计算机体系结构的过渡。该项目的主要影响是开发，推动和部署软件到科学界，以使其在全球范围内具有竞争力，并为该地区的标准化工作做出贡献。弹道有可能成为密集线性代数的社区标准，并被大量的用户，计算中心和高性能计算（HPC）供应商所采用和/或支持。学习使用数值库是许多领域和许多学术机构中计算科学家或工程师教育的基本组成部分。 BALLISTIC will have a correspondingly large impact on the research and education community, government laboratories, and private industry and support national efforts to build a workforce capable of employing state of the art tools in pursuit of science and engineering discoveries.The goal of BALLISTIC is to create a layered package of software components that is capable of running at every level of the platform deployment pyramid and achieves three complete objectives: (1) deliver seamless access to the most up-to-date尽可能通过熟悉的SCA/LAPACK接口的算法，数字和性能； （2）在必要的地方，通过新接口扩展提供了高级算法，数字和性能功能； （3）提供了一个精心设计的渠道，可以通过该导管在这些领域的研究边界上的新发现可以尽快引导到依赖于高性能线性代数库的科学和工程社区的所有应用程序。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估基金会的范围和广泛的范围来进行评估。
