Sequalator 1.20.1 Released

Sequalator stands for Simultaneous Equations Calculator.
It is a software for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations. The solver is based on the Gauss Jordan elimination method for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations.
Sequalator is free software! You may use it for educational as well as commercial purpose.
Please refer the license for terms & conditions for using this software.

Sequalator 1.20.1 is now available for Download.
Just check the Downloads page for details about this version.
Following are the significant improvements in this version:
  • Automatically check for updates - Sequalator now has the capability to automatically check for updates. It will check only when Sequalator is launched and that too only the first launch of that day. Thus you are assured of getting the latest features of Sequalator without bogging down your PC by an updater running in background.
  • Solver selection improvement -You can now very easily choose the solver for your computation. Previously there was a lot of confusion between the default solver and the OpenCL solver. The User Interface has been revamped to allow the user to choose the solver for running the computation.
  • GUI enhancements - Some minor improvements have been made in the GUI which will enhance your experience with Sequalator.
  • Installer support - Sequalator now has an installer! No longer do you have to go through the mess of zip files. Just launch the installer, next, next, next, finish and you are done! But don't forget to read the instructions on each page. :)

    How to perform Sequalator benchmarks?

    The cardinal reason for using Sequalator compared to its alternatives is speed and precision.
    But how do you know how fast Sequalator really is?
    Well, that is why you benchmark Sequalator!
    Performing benchmarks with Sequalator is really easy and there is a prize too!
    The top 10 benchmarks will be posted on this blog under the Benchmarks page!
    Just follow these really simple steps to complete your benchmark:

    Sequalator 1.20.0 Released

    Sequalator stands for Simultaneous Equations Calculator.
    It is a software for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations. The solver is based on the Gauss Jordan elimination method for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations.
    Sequalator is free software! You may use it for educational as well as commercial purpose.
    Please refer the license for terms & conditions for using this software.

    Sequalator 1.20.0 is now available for Download.
    Just check the Downloads page for details about this version.
    Following are the significant improvements in this version:
    • OpenCL support - OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a standard for cross platform parallel programing using modern computation devices like CPU, GPU, etc. Sequalator now can solve the equations on multiple devices like CPU's and GPU's simultaneously using the power of OpenCL technology. To use this feature however, you need to register your copy of Sequalator, which is absolutely free! OpenCL and the OpenCL logo are trademarks of Apple Inc.
    • 64 bit support - Sequalator is now available in 64 bit version as well. This means there is no 2GB memory restriction which is applicable to any 32 bit application. So if you have the sufficient RAM and processing power there is virtually no limit to the no of equations you can solve using Sequalator. Also note that 32 bit applications will work on 32 or 64 bit hardware, but 64 bit applications will only work on 64 bit hardware.
    • Bug fix - A bug reported in the previous version has now been fixed. The cause of the bug was a minor programming mistake (we all do ;-) ); to be precise Sequalator was trying to read a non existing file.
    • GUI enhancements - There have been quite a lot GUI enhancements in this version. This is primarily because Sequalator now uses Qt 5.2.1 while all previous versions used Qt 4.8.1. This version of Qt has had a lot of bug fixes and apparently highlighted some of mine too :P

    Sequalator 1.19.0 Released

    Sequalator stands for Simultaneous Equations Calculator.
    It is a software for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations. The solver is based on the Gauss Jordan elimination method for solving Linear Simultaneous Equations.
    Sequalator is free software! You may use it for educational as well as commercial purpose.

    Sequalator 1.19.0 is now available for Download.
    Just check the Downloads page for details about this version.
    Following are the significant improvements in this version:
    • Binary File Format - A new file format is now added to store the data in a compact and robust manner. Not only does it use less space compared to the text file format, the time required to create this file and read data from the file is also significantly low.
    • Session Manager - The session manager saves a record of every action you perform to a file. This means your data is still safe even if you close Sequalator without saving the data. In addition if at all you experience a crash, you can still retrieve just where you left off!
    • Revamped Undo Redo functionality - The undo redo functionality in previous versions stored the action history in memory (RAM). In this release the entire undo redo functionality is re-written so that the action history is stored to file. This is possible now because of the binary file format which is light years ahead of the text format in terms of speed.
    • Apart from the above mentioned enhancements there are quite a few changes in the GUI.
