KeLP

KeLP (Kernel Lattice Parallelism) is a C++ class library for implementing portable scientific applications on distributed memory parallel computer architectures. Software can be developed on a single processor workstation, which facilitates debugging. KeLP is the successor to the LPARX Programming System. However KeLP introduces a new communication model based on the inspector/executor model to provide better communication performance on message-passing multicomputers. KeLP is currently targeted for irregular and multi-level adaptive finite difference methods. However, it may also be used for single mesh finite difference methods as well.

Targeted Platforms:

KeLP 1.0 distribution supports the Intel Paragon, IBM SP2, Cray T3D, and networks of IBM RS6000, Sun, and DEC Alpha workstations using MPI. Has also been ported to Cray T3E, SGI Power Challenge, SGI Origin 2000, and Linux workstations; contact the authors for more information on these ports.
Porting to LINUX involves editing a configuration file to reference the installation's C++ compiler and MPI distribution. See the user's manual for more details.
