This directory contains the 5 NAS Parallel Benchmark Kernels
ported to run under PVM, as well as (1) an enchaned communication
library for high throughput and (2) modified libs, and tools to
generate and view ParaGraph tracefiles under PVM (the latter is
*very* undocumented). Also, in ~ftp/pub/vss are a bunch of PVM
papers, including one describing the NPB kernels and results.

Please ...
	+ note that the benchmarks are algorithmically unoptimized
	+ note that benchmark descriptions and sample codes
	  are only available from Nasa Ames.
	+ send me (vss@mathcs.emory.edu) a note if you take these
	+ post any interesting new results you obtain
	+ consider contributing modified or optimized versions that
	  you may develop
	+ consider contributing other PVM benchmarks or applications
