- ADAPTOR (Automatic DAta Parallelism TranslatOR)
- for OS2 2.x platform.
-
-
- ADAPTOR (Automatic DAta Parallelism TranslatOR) was developed
- by the German National Institute for Computer Science. It is a
- tool that transforms data parallel programs written in Fortran with
- array extensions, parallel loops and layout directives to parallel
- programs with explicit message passing. ADAPTOR supports heterogeneous
- workstation configuration via the use of PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine)
- as the message passing model.
-
- PVM is a software system that enables a collection of heterogeneous
- computers to be used as a coherent and flexible concurrent computational
- resource.
-
- The individual computers may be shared- or local-memory multiprocessors,
- vector supercomputers, specialized graphics engines, or scalar
- workstations, that may be interconnected by a variety of networks,
- such as ethernet, FDDI.
-
- User programs written in C, C++ or Fortran access PVM through library
- routines.
-
- This port to OS2 platform uses my recently released port of PVM to
- OS2 (you can find it on ftp-os2.cdrom.com in /pub/os2/2_x/program
- as a file called pvm3os2b.zip). Than means, that you essentially need
- to get PVM for OS2 in order to do anything sensible with this port
- of ADAPTOR. PVM needs at least base package of TCP/IP v2.0 from IBM,
- because its message passing mechanism is based on TCP/IP software
- suite. For both ADAPTOR you need emx and f2c - excellent port of
- Fortran to C translator by Roger Fearick (can be found in the same
- directory as PVM). I also assume that you have two GNU file manipulation
- utilities - mv and rm.
