DUNE (Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment) is a modular C++ library for the solution of partial differential equations using grid-based methods. The DUNE library is divided into modules. In version 2.8 are the core modules In addition there are several further modules, including some which have been developed by third parties. The development of DUNE started in 2002 on the initiative of Prof. Bastian (then Heidelberg University), Dr. Ohlberger (during his habilitation at the University of Freiburg), and Prof. Rumpf (then University of Duisburg-Essen). The aim was a development model which was not attached to a single university, in order to make the project attractive for a wide audience. For the same reason a license was chosen which allows DUNE together with proprietary libraries. While most of developers still have a university background, others are providing commercial support for DUNE. More information...
