FYI, as far as I can tell, at least MUMPS and TAUCS are already Open Source.
@kkofler cool! do you have a reference for MUMPS?
TAUCS is in C, not Fortran, so auto-generating Java code that fits into the same ecosystem as the existing BLAS/LAPACK/ARPACK APIs will be non-trivial.
http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/
The download page states that it is in the public domain.
Is there any update on this stuff (interfacing e.g. MUMPS)? We could really use a Java interface for a sparse linear solver here at the University of Vienna now.
I have no plans to work on this. The only sparse solver I know of in Java is ARPACK in MTJ. It would be good if you created a project on github with a port of TAUCS etc.
this one's a big ask: support for the solvers listed in ftp://ftp.numerical.rl.ac.uk/pub/reports/ghsRAL200505.pdf
which will require implementing open source versions of some of these proprietary solvers.
