The algorithm incorporates parallel globally adaptive integration, with each processor storing its own priority queue of subproblems and performing scheduler-based local load balancing. Features of the release include: * Two techniques for running the software: - Running the ParInt executable from the unix command line - Using the ParInt API; allowing the user to solve integration problems from their own C applications by using ParInt functions * Support for double and long double accuracy * Use of MPI for underlying processor communication, providing platform independence * Support for user integrand functions written in C or Fortran * Support for vector integrand functions, integrated over hyperrectangular regions. * A full User Manual. * * * * * * * Users can download the release and view the documentation (.ps or .html) from the ParInt web site: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~parint. Questions can be directed to parint@cs.wmich.edu. We are currently working towards the release of ParInt1.1. * * * * * * * About the ParInt Research Project: ------------------------------------- There are two main goals of the ParInt project: to investigate new techniques in the distributed computation of multivariate integrals, and, to develop a user-friendly software interface for these techniques. Research areas include load balancing, distributed data structures, scientific visualization, and theoretical mathematical topics such as Quasi-Monte Carlo techniques and extrapolation. ParInt is led by Elise de Doncker and Ajay Gupta at WMU, and Alan Genz at WSU. --Rodger -- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- - Rodger R.
