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