To start, send the mail daemon send index in with the body or Subject field of the message. From: Dave Beckett (Dec 1993 till present) available under http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/ I also have older articles off-line from Steve Stephenson, from 1990+ but consider them too old to be relevant. comp.parallel specifically is at http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel/articles/ At this time (June 1995), the index (minus the help) is: bibliographies - Bibliographies available through parlib or ftp. butterfly Example programs for Butterfly connection-machine Connection machine examples cray example programs for various Cray products. faq Frequently asked questions and (with any luck) answers. intel860 Sample problems for the Intel i860 systems. intel860/c Example C program for iPSC/860 intel860/fortran Example Fortran program for iPSC/860 miscellaneous alogorithms and/or programs which don't fit any other category mobil donation of codes illustrating the same problem solved on various architectures. newsgroup Information regarding the comp.parallel newsgroup other-servers Other locations specializing is serving special groups. parallaxis Example programs written in parallaxis. p4 Example programs written in P4 readings Suggested or required readings in parallel / distributed processing. schools Schools and curricula which support parallel processing work sisal example problems written in Sisal salishan Problems and programs from John Feo's book send index from faq yields: amdahlslaw - some references to Amdahl's Law # oh yeah, read about it. Don't just find it. Get the NCC session # section on it (including Slotnick's rebuttal/commentary). debugging - some comments on debugging emailaddress - how to find email addresses environments - the turcotte report on environments express - outline of system forge - outline of system grandchallenges - a list of the original grand challenges gccommentary - a discussion of the grand challenges and how the GCs evolve. linda - Questions about linda may be answered here. simulators(dir) - some multiprocessor simulation packages parascope - Rice University's tools for scientific programming. parasoft - latest version of news letter---info on where to get. pcnets - networks of pcs: software. ppc - Information about the Parallel Processing Connection p4 - information on p4 and how to get the code. pvm - information on PVM and how to get the code. this is obsolete http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/index.html http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/faq_html/faq.html http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/book/node1.html qvctapes - information about QVC tapes availability. See also: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/ The net does not assure the value or quality of the information posted here. caveat receptor The quality is a function of how YOU (and others) participate. If you sit back passively, you will be disappointed. The group is basically academic in nature. Expect academic debate (or the more juvenille "flame war") on some topics. You get what you pay for here. Don't expect technical advice which you would have thought to pay thousands of dollars (an analysis) here for free. It doesn't happen. I have a huge amount (450M) of parallel computing files and lots of FAQs, and stuff culled from news articles. Experimentally: or .
