Description:
|
PCN is a parallel programming system designed to improve
the productivity of scientists and engineers using parallel
computers. It provides a simple language for specifying
concurrent algorithms, interfaces to Fortran and C, a
portable toolkit that allows applications to be developed
on a workstation or small parallel computer and run
unchanged on supercomputers, and integrated debugging and
performance analysis tools. PCN was developed at Argonne
National Laboratory and the California Institute of
Technology. It has been used to develop a wide variety of
applications, in areas such as climate modeling, fluid
dynamics, computational biology, chemistry, and circuit
simulation.
