Hello, all.
I'm a physics grad. student currently embroiled in a calculation of 
nuclear spin dynamics in a 3D lattice.  I'm working primarily on a 
Silicon Graphics Indigo workstation, and I've been searching for some
of the standard numerical packages like LAPACK which compile and run
well on the Indigo.  In particular, I'm looking for good 3D FFT routines
and the like.  Does anyone know where I might direct my search?

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew of Matlab kluges or clones which
can handle 3D matrices (this, I think, is a perennial question, but I 
wonder if any progress has been made in recent times)?  I'd love to 
write my program in Matlab, but the 2D barrier may be prohibitive.
Also, Matlab is painfully slow at control loops.  Does anyone know of
any form of "compiled Matlab" (or, perhaps, an interpreter which converts
Matlab programs to a lower-level language) which might be faster?

Thanks.

Dan Sodickson
