README for DataFiles directory.

./SDDF:

  The directory ./SDDF contains SDDF data files which can be used by 
  the Pablo system. In that directory... 
  
  The file PICL.pde64.BigEndian is the SDDF binary big-endian version 
  of a trace file generated by the Oak Ridge PICL software.  This file 
  was converted from the original PICL file found in ./PICL/pde64.trf 
  into the SDDF format used by Pablo.  
  See ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/ConvertPICL.C for the source to 
  the converter program.   The file ./SDDF/PiclFormat.ascii contains 
  the SDDF Record Descriptors that define the event types created -- 
  this file is used by the converter program.

  Genome28.binary was produced by running a genome-sequencing code that had
  been instrumented to capture message passing, procedure entry/exit, and 
  I/O events on a 28 processor iPSC/860.  The file is used by the 
  GenomeRdSeekAll sample configuration which is under the IO config area. 
  The file can also be processed by ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/IOFileStats 
  to produce a summary report.

  The file XYZ.ascii is a very simple SDDF file that can be used to 
  exercise the Pablo system with a limited amount of data.

  The file Sample.ascii was generated as output by the program found in
  ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/Sample.C.

  The file Color.ascii is used by a DEMO configuration to display a
  range of colors in a matrix display

  The files Game1.ascii and Game2.ascii are used by the Tutorials 1-4.

  The file Jacobi-8.BigEndian was generated on iPSC/860 machines running 
  a PDE-solver that was instrumented with the Pablo instrumentation software. 
  Tutorials 5 and 6 use the file. (The actual file generated on the iPSC/860
  was in little endian format, it was byte-swapped to bin endian for faster
  processing on the Sparc.)

  The file AimsFormat.ascii contains the SDDF Record Descriptors that define
  the event types used by the NASA AIMS trace data files.  See 
  ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/ConvertAIMS.C for the conversion program
  that, together with the AimsFormat.ascii file, converts AIMS data files
  into SDDF format.

  The file expandSample.ascii in a sample SDDF data file that can be used
  in conjunction with TEMPLATE/expandSample to demonstrate the program 
  ExpandField.  See ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/ExpandField.C.

  You can convert between ASCII, binary, and binary byte-swapped SDDF 
  formats using the program ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/SDDFConverter.C.

./PICL:

  The directory ./PICL contains an "original" data file generated by the PICL
  system.

./NewHeaderFormatInfo:

  The directory ./NewHeaderFormatInfo contains the information and files 
  needed to convert an SDDF file Release 1.1 or earlier into the newer 
  SDDF format that includes header information.  A script to convert saved
  Pablo configurations to the new format is also provided. See the 
  file ./NewHeaderFormatInfo/README for more information.

./TEMPLATE
  
  The directory ./TEMPLATE contains template file(s) for use with the program
  ExpandField (see ../SDDFlibrary/SamplePrograms/ExpandField.C)  In particular,
  expandSample in this directory can be used to expand fields in the data
  file ./SDDF/expandSample.ascii.
