    Summary: LAM/MPI (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment
    Description: 
    LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an MPI programming environment and
    development system for heterogeneous computers on a network. With
    LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an existing network computing
    infrastructure can act as a single parallel computer.  LAM/MPI is
    considered to be "cluster friendly", in that it offers daemon-based
    process startup/control as well as fast client-to-client message
    passing protocols.  LAM/MPI can use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for
    message passing (currently, different RPMs are supplied for this --
    see the main LAM web site for details).
    
    LAM features a full implementation of MPI-1 (with the exception that
    LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of MPI-2.
    Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM/MPI and
    any other implementation of MPI.  In addition to providing a
    high-quality implementation of the MPI standard, LAM/MPI offers
    extensive monitoring capabilities to support debugging.  Monitoring
    happens on two levels.  First, LAM/MPI has the hooks to allow a
    snapshot of process and message status to be taken at any time during
    an application run.  This snapshot includes all aspects of
    synchronization plus datatype maps/signatures, communicator group
    membership, and message contents (see the XMPI application on the main
    LAM web site).  On the second level, the MPI library is instrumented
    to produce a cummulative record of communication, which can be
    visualized either at runtime or post-mortem.
