The ALPS Light Libraries are public-domain part of the ALPS Libraries. If you need the full functionality of the ALPS Libraries, such as Lattice, Model, Scheduler, etc, please use the full version of ALPS Libraries, which is available from http://alps.comp-phys.org/.
The ALPS libraries are part of the ALPS project (Parallel Algorithms for Lattice Models), which aims at providing generic parallel algorithms for classical and quantum lattice models and provides utility classes and algorithm for many other problems. It strives to increase software reuse in the physics community.
Currently the following libraries are publicly available as part of the ALPS library project
