/parallel/languages/sisal/distribution/tools/LoadBalance_0.9.tar.Z
/parallel/languages/sisal/distribution/tools/README.LoadBalance
	SISAL LoadBalance Performance Analaysis Tool V0.9 distribution
	containing sources and users manual. Requires c/g++ and Motif.
	Author: Cindy Solomon, Computer Research Group, Lawrence Livermore
	National Lab, USA. [compressed tar file]

/parallel/simulation/architectures/parasol/parasol-3.1.tar.Z
	PARASOL V3.1 distribution. Contains source code for PARASOL
	libraries, full documentation, example applications, a test suite,
	some small tools including visiualisers.
	Requires a POSIX system with ANSI C and the official release supports
	Sun SPARCstations with SunOS 4/5; PCs with Linux, Mach or NextStep; HP
	snakes with HPUX; SGIs with IRIX.
	Changes since 2.3:
	a) Improved execution traces to facilitate debugging and model
	validation. Included are filters which provide interfaces to
	visualization tools such as ParaGraph and xtg.
	b) A warning flag option to further facilitate debugging by causing
	warnings to be written to stderr if library calls misfire due to
	inappropriate arguments.
	c) A new provision for highly flexible node scheduling using user
	written schedulers. This provision permits a new class of applications
	to use PARASOL directly without the need for kernel hacking.
	d) A new class library called PARASOL++ for C++ object oriented
	users. This library provides the base classes for most PARASOL-based
	applications without requiring the PARASOL kernel to be accessed
	directly.
	e) A new PVM-based (Parallel Virtual Machine) simulation manager
	called DPSM (Distributed PARASOL Simulation Manager) which manages
	concurrent experimental replications to achieve user specified
	confidence intervals.
	f) Improved statistics handling with the addition of RATE statistics,
	a "reset all" function, and several new options for node utilization
	statistics.
	g) New support for glocal variables - this will be appreciated most
	by modellers of highly detailed simulations/emulations when modelling
	static data.
	h) New default stack sizing which improves PARASOL's resistance to
	stack overflows - a problem which manifest itself particularly with
	optimized Linux- based models.
	i) Improved and updated documentation with several new case study
	examples. Added new documentation for PARASOL++, DPSM, and the
	visualization tools.
	j) An improved test suite for system verification and to aid in
	porting PARASOL to new platforms.

/parallel/standards/mpi/anl/mpiman.ps.Z
	"MPICH Model MPI Implementation Reference Manual (Draft)"
	ABSTRACT:
	This document contains detailed documentation on the routines that
	are part of the MPICH model MPI implementation. As an alternate to
	this manual, the reader should consider using the script mpiman; this
	is a script that uses xman to provide a X11 Window System interface to
	the data in this manual.

/parallel/standards/mpi/anl/adiman.ps.Z
	"MPICH ADI Implementation Reference Manual (Draft)"
	ABSTRACT:
	This document contains detailed documentation on the routines that
	are part of the ADI part of the MPICH model MPI implementation. The
	ADI is a multi-level interface; there are some routines (the core)
	that must be implemented, and an additional set (the extensions) that
	can be implemented as necessary and desired for improved performance
	(see the collective operations below). In addition, the ADI may itself
	be implemented on a lower-level interface called the "channel"
	interface; this is detailed in a separate report. As an alternate to
	this manual, the reader should consider using the script mpiman; this
	is a script that uses xman to provide a X11 Window System interface to
	the data in this manual. The ADI definition presented here is still
	evolving; while we intend to make no major incompatible changes, we
	can not rule them out. Unlike MPI, the ADI is not a standard but is
	rather part of a research project.

/parallel/standards/mpi/anl/workingnote/newadi.ps.Z
	"MPICH Working Note: Creating a new MPICH device using the Channel
	interface (DRAFT)"
	ABSTRACT:
	The MPICH implementation of MPI uses a powerful and efficient layered
	approach to simplify porting MPI to new systems. One interface that
	can be used is the channel interface; this interface defines a
	collection of simple data-transfer operations. This interface can
	adapt to additional functionality, such as asynchronous or nonblocking
	transfers or remote memory operations. This paper describes this
	interface, some of the special issues, and gives instructions on
	creating a new MPICH implementation by implementing just a few
	routines.
	Authors: William Gropp, Argonne National Laboratory, Mathematics and
	Computer Science Division and Ewing Lusk, University of Chicago.

	"ST C101 (rev 4) Parallel DS-Link Adaptor Datasheet - Engineering
	Data"
	This allows high speed serial DS-Links to be interfaced to buses
	peripherals and microprocessors. It is particular suitable to
	interfacing such devices to interconnects which deal in packets
	consisting of data and header information. This header information may
	be used to demultiplex packets from different sources and/or route
	them through one or more switches. It has two modes of operations - in
	the first (Transparent Mode), with packetization disabled, it provides
	simple access to the DS-Link, all data provided to the STC101 is
	transmitted down the DS-Link. In the second (Packetizing Mode) it can
	be used by devices such as processors to use such things as the ST
	C104 Asynchronous Packet Switch (APS) [C104.06.ps.gz below] (datasheet
	42 1 470 06). In both modes it can be used as one of: 16 bit processor

	ABSTRACT:
	This standard specifies a physical-level interface for transmitting
	digital data at 800 Mbit/s or 1600 Mbit/s serially over fiber-optic or
	coaxial cables across distances of up to 10 km. The signalling
	sequences and protocol used are compatible with HIPPI-PH, ANSI
	X3.183-1991, which is limited to 25 m distances. HIPPI-Serial may be
	used as an external extender for HIPPI-PH ports, or may be integrated
	as a host's native interface without HIPPI-PH.

	"Global Arrays: A Portable 'Shared-Memory' Programming Model for
	Distributed Memory Computers"
	ABSTRACT:
	Portability, efficiency, and ease of coding are all important
	considerations in choosing the pr ogramming model for a scalable
	parallel application. The message-passing programming model is widely
	used because of its portability, yet some applications are too complex
	to code in it while also trying to maintain a balanced computation
	load and avoid redundant computations. The shared-memory programming
	model simplifies coding, but it is not portable and often provides
	little control over interprocessor data transfer costs. This paper
	describes a new approach, called Global Arrays GA, that combines the
	better features of both other models, leading to both simple coding
	and efficient execution. The key concept of GA is that it provides a
	portable interface through which each process in a MIMD parallel
	program can asynchronously access logical blocks of physically
	distributed matrices, with no need for explicit cooperation by other
	processes. We have implemented GA libraries on a variety of computer
	systems, including the Intel DELTA and Paragon, the IBM SP-1 - all
	message-passers, the Kendall Square KSR-2 - a nonuniform access
	shared-memory machine, and networks of Unix workstations. We discuss
	the design and implementation of these libraries, report their
	performance, illustrate the use of GA in the context of computational
	chemistry applications, and describe the use of a GA performance
	visualization tool.

	"PUMA: An Operating System for Massively Parallel Systems"
	ABSTRACT:
	This paper presents an overview of PUMA, Performance-oriented,
	User-managed Messaging Architecture, a message passing kernel. Message
	passing in PUMA is based on portals - an opening in the address space
	of an application process. Once an application process has established
	a portal, other processes can write values into the portal using a
	simple send operation. Because messages are written directly into the
	address space of the receiving process, there is no need to buffer
	messages in the PUMA kernel and later copy them into the applications
	address space. PUMA consists of two components: the quintessential
	kernel Q-Kernel and the process control thread PCT. While the PCT
	provides management decisions, the Q-Kernel controls access and
	implements the policies specified by the PCT.

	"Parallel Processing: A Self-Study Introduction; A First Course in
	Programming the Intel Paragon"
	ABSTRACT:
	This booklet is written in the hope that we can accelerate the
	learning process of readers using an Intel Paragon computer for the
	first time. It is not intended as a replacement for the manufacturers
	programming and reference manuals, but rather to complement them and
	to guide the new user through the jungle of terminology and
	programming techniques. We hope that we have written this guide such
	that the reader can complete this tutorial without requiring such
	manuals. Our long experience with advanced computer systems has shown
	us that these users want to become familiar with a new system as
	quickly as possible, without having to wade through, say, a metre
	shelf of manuals to be able to write a simple program. Rather than
	write yet another tutorial, we have tried to give the user guidance in
	using the Paragon, with concise information, with the hope that they
	can get up to speed as quickly as possible. Very little instruction on
	parallel algorithms is given in this guide, we have concentrated
	instead on use of the system. The text and examples in this guide were
	developed on the 100 node system at parallab. Almost everything in
	this guide should be applicable to all Paragon system configurations.

	"The Pablo Self-Defining Data Format"
	ABSTRACT:
	This manual documents the Pablo Self-Defining Data Format (SDDF), a
	flexible file meta-format designed to describe the structural layout
	of event records in performance trace files. We present our motivation
	for developing SDDF, high-level and in-depth coverage of the format
	itself, an explanation of the C ++ interface library, and sample files
	and code demonstrating the use of SDDF.

/parallel/performance/tools/pablo/SDDFStatistics.ps.gz
	"The Summary File Format for SDDFStatistics"
	ABSTRACT:
	The SDDFStatistics program gathers a variety of statistics about the
	data fields of SDDF files, and can save these statistics to summary
	files which are themselves in SDDF format. These summary files are
	used by SDDFStatistics as "caches" of summary data, to minimize
	startup time when interactively browsing SDDF data files using the
	graphical user interface provided by SDDFStatistics. They may also be
	used by other Pablo tools, including the main Pablo Visualization
	Environment, whose displays may be configured more easily using
	information contained in the summaries. This document defines and
	describes the format of the summary files produced by SDDFStatistics,
	and includes an example consisting of an input SDDF data file and the
	corresponding summary file generated by SDDFStatistics.

/parallel/performance/tools/pablo/PabloOverview.ps.gz
	"An Overview of the Pablo Performance Analysis Environment"
	ABSTRACT:
	As massively parallel, distributed memory systems replace traditional
	vector supercomputers, effective application program optimization and
	system resource management become more than research curiosities |
	they are crucial to achieving substantial fractions of peak
	performance for scientific application codes. By recording dynamic
	activity, either at the application or system software level, one can
	identify and remove performance bottlenecks. Pablo is a performance
	analysis environment designed to provide performance data capture,
	analysis, and presentation across a wide variety of scalable parallel
	systems. The Pablo environment includes software performance
	instrumentation, graphical performance data reduction and analysis,
	and support for mapping performance data to both graphics and sound.
	Current research directions include complete performance data
	immersion via head-mounted displays and the integration of Pablo with
	data parallel Fortran compilers based on the emerging High Performance
	Fortran (HPF) standard.

/parallel/performance/tools/pablo/PorsonifyUserGuide.ps.gz
	"Porsonify: A Portable System for Data Sonification"
	ABSTRACT:
	Porsonify is a portable system for mapping data to sound. Sound is an
	interesting medium for presenting data because it can potentially
	highlight characteristics of data that cannot easily be seen. For
	example, a movie soundtrack or sound effects that accompany a vidio
	game convey information complementary to the imagery. The elements of
	sound (e.g., pitch, volume, duration and timbre) can be used in the
	same way that visual elements (such as color, form, and line) are
	manipulated to present and analyze data in visual displays. The use of
	sound to present data, the auditory equivalent of visualization, is
	called sonification. Porsonify is designed to encourage
	experimentation with aural data presentation, or sonification, on a
	variety of sound devices.

	"iPablo User's Guide"
	ABSTRACT:
	This document is a guide to the use of the iPablo graphical user
	interface to the Pablo Instrumentation Environment. Although using
	iPablo is not mandatory, it will allow you to quickly and easily
	specify the most common source code instrumentations without
	laboriously modifying your source code manually. Because this document
	is intended as a user's guide to the iPablo graphical interface of the
	Pablo Instrumentation Environment, its focus is on using iPablo to
	instrument application program source code in a variety of ways.
	iPablo is a Motif-based, X Windows application that currently supports
	the interactive instrumentation of procedure calls and outer loops in
	C source programs. Future versions of iPablo will support the
	interactive instrumentation of Fortran 77 programs as well.
