In this talk we review experiences of using the Harwell Subroutine Library and other numerical software codes in implementing large scale solvers for commercial industrial process simulation packages. Such packages are required to solve problems in an efficient and robust manner. A core requirement is the solution of sparse systems of linear equations; various HSL routines have been used and are compared. Additionally, the requirement for fast small dense matrix solvers is examined.
