16 Pkg-Description: cooperative computing tools
17  This is a collection of software that help users to share resources in a
18  complex, heterogeneous, and unreliable computing environment. This includes:
19  .
20   Chirp - A personal filesystem and I/O protocol that allows unprivileged users
21           to share space securely, efficiently, and conveniently. When combined
22           with Parrot, Chirp allows users to create custom wide-area distributed
23           filesystems.
24   Parrot - A transparent user-level virtual filesystem that allows any ordinary
25           program to be attached to a remote storage device such as an FTP
26           server or a Chirp server.
27   Makeflow - A workflow system for parallel and distributed computing that uses
28           a language very similar to Make.
29   Work Queue - A system and API for building master-worker style programs that
30           scale up to thousands of processors.
31   All Pairs - A computational abstraction for running very large Cartesian
32           products.
33   Wavefront - A computational asbtraction for running very large dynamic
34           programming problems.
35   The Fault Tolerant Shell - A high-level programming language that allows
36           users to combine the ease of shell scripting, the power of distributed
37           programming, and the precision of compiled languages. Basically,
38           parallel programming and exception handling for scripts.
