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