The first public release of the PARADYN PARALLEL PROGRAM PERFORMANCE TOOLS
is now available.  Paradyn is a tool for measuring and analyzing the
performance of parallel and distributed programs.

Paradyn can measure large, long running programs and provides facilities for
helping to automatically find performance problems in parallel programs.

Paradyn operates on executable (a.out) files but dynamically inserting
measurement code while the program is running.

Paradyn can measure programs running on SunOS, Solaris, AIX, SP2, and TMC
CM-5, or heterogeneous combinations of these systems.  An HP-UX version will
be available shortly.  Paradyn can also handle PVM on these platforms and
MPL on the SP2.  An MPI version be ready this summer.

The current release is binary only.  Source code will be distributed during
the summer.
