		     Additions for November 1996
		     ===========================

28th November 1996

/parallel/environments/lam/distribution/
	Updated LAM to V6.1

/parallel/environments/lam/distribution/lam61.tar.gz
	"LAM 6.1 Source Distribution"
	by LAM Project <lam@tbag.osc.edu>, <URL:http://www.osc.edu/lam.html>,

27th November 1996

/parallel/occam/compilers/ocpp/
	Updated to V3.001

/parallel/occam/compilers/ocpp/ocpp301.tar.gz
	"occam Pre-Processor V3.01" (OCPP)
	by Mark Ian Barlow <Mark@nlcc.demon.co.uk>; Tel: +44 (0)1207 562 154
	An occam pre-processor that is somewhat more friendly and with
	greater functionality than the rather obscure non-supported
	SGS-Thomson tool PREOCC. The main advantages are:
	
	1) It comments out lines rather than removing them so toolset error
	messages still refer to the relevant source line.
	
	2) For the same reason it is able to reverse it's own effect and
	re-construct it's input.
	
	3) It offers more optional methods for defining symbols and extra
	directives.
	
	4) It can modify files in-place, and can optionally annotate
	conditional directives with useful debugging data.
	
	5) It can perform simple textual substitutions in the output code,
	and process embedded code-template files to generate standard
	constructs.
	
	6) It possesses a (rather lightweight) capability to import constants
	from C header files directly into occam source code.
	
	7) It can expand references to environment variables within any file
	specification attached to either it's own, or the occam compiler's
	native directives (#INCLUDE, &c.).
	
	Documentation, source, transputer and DOS binaries included.

/parallel/occam/compilers/ocpp/srci100.tar.gz
	"Source Inventory utility" (Srci)
	by Mark Ian Barlow <Mark@nlcc.demon.co.uk>; Tel: +44 (0)1207 562 154
	A program intended to complement the imakef makefile generator in the
	INMOS toolset, or indeed any automated makefile generation facility.
	It extracts and lists those source files which are essential to permit
	re-building of all the targets found in a makefile. Contains source
	and DOS binary.

/parallel/environments/lam/distribution/lam61.doc.ps.gz
	"LAM 6.1 User Document: MPI Primer / Developing with LAM"
	11th November 1996
	ABSTRACT:
	This document is organized into four major chapters. It begins with a
	tutorial covering the simpler techniques of programming and operation.
	New users should start with the tutorial. The second chapter is an MPI
	programming primer emphasizing the commonly used routines.
	Non-standard extensions to MPI and additional programming capabilities
	unique to LAM are separated into a third chapter. The last chapter is
	an operational reference. It describes how to configure and start a
	LAM multicomputer, and how to monitor processes and messages. This
	document is user oriented. It does not give much insight into how the
	system is implemented. It does not detail every option and capability
	of every command and routine. An extensive set of manual pages cover
	all the commands and internal routines in great detail and are meant
	to supplement this document. The reader will note a heavy bias towards
	the C programming language, especially in the code samples. There is
	no Fortran version of this document. The text attempts to be language
	insensitive and the appendices contain For tran code samples and
	routine prototypes.

	debugging and performance tuning.
	
	To analyze a program using XPVM, a user need only compile their
	program using the PVM library, version 3.3 or later, which has been
	instrumented to capture tracing information at run-time. Then, any
	task spawned from XPVM will return trace event information, for
	analysis in real time, or for post-mortem playback from saved trace
	files.
	
	Release includes binaries for sun4, sgi5, rs6k and alpha as well as

	"High Performance Parallel Computing for Fluid Dynamic Applications
	Course"
	by David Emerson <D.R.Emerson@dl.ac.uk>
	Details of course being held from 12th-16th May 1997 at Daresbury
	Laboratory, Cheshire, UK. Organised by ERCOFTAC SIG on Parallel
	Computing in CFD.
	
	A one week course intended to provide practical tuition and
	experience and is addressed to CFD specialists at a graduate level who
	are interested in learning more about high performance computing
	and/or want to port their code to a parallel platform.
	
	A copy of the book High Performance Computing in Fluid
	Dynamics, which was published by Kluwer, will be provided to
	all participants attending the course. In addition to this,
	new lectures will be presented to reflect recent progress in
	this rapidly changing field. Additional course notes will be
	provided by the new lecturers.
