ALPAL is a tool that automatically generates code to solve nonlinear integro-differential equations, given a very high-level specification of the equations to be solved and the numerical methods to be used. ALPAL is designed to handle the sort of complicated mathematical models used in very large scientific simulation codes. Other features of ALPAL include an interactive graphical front end, the ability to symbolically compute exact Jacobians for implicit methods, and a high degree of code optimization. 14 refs., 9 figs.
