NAME

       LAM - introduction to Local Area Multicomputer (LAM)

DESCRIPTION

       LAM  is  an  MPI  programming  environment  and development system for a message-passing parallel machine
       constituted with heterogeneous UNIX computers on a network.  With LAM, a dedicated cluster or an existing
       network  computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer solving one compute-intensive problem.
       LAM emphasizes productivity in the application development cycle with extensive  control  and  monitoring
       functionality.   The user can easily debug the common errors in parallel programming and is well equipped
       to diagnose more difficult problems.

       LAM features a full implementation of the  MPI  communication  standard,  with  the  exception  that  the
       MPI_CANCEL function will not properly cancel messages that have been sent.

   User Information
       Users  are  strongly  encouraged  to  read  the  LAM/MPI  User's  Guide that is included with the LAM/MPI
       distribution, and is provided on the main LAM/MPI web site (http://www.lam-mpi.org/).

   Up-to-Date Information
       The LAM home page can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://www.lam-mpi.org/.  It should be consulted
       for the most current information about LAM, as well as updates, patches, etc.
