1. This is the source code for version 1.0 of the Topology Environment. It has been developed and tested on Sun workstations using PVM3.4.beta4. 2. Simply unpack and compile using aimk command. It will create the library, topology generator and the server. 3. There are two ways of adding new topologies: 3.1) Create a new topology generator executable. In this case just add topology name and contexts to pvmts.h in the PVM include directory and recompile the package. Note that your application now should pass the full path of the new topology generator when pvm_tpinit is called. 3.2) Add the new topology to the existing topology generator. You need to make the following changes: * Add the topology name and contexts to the pvmts.h in the PVM include directory. * Add the details of the new topology to the "topologies" structure in the topgenerate.h as well as definition of any other constants required for generation ot the topology specification. * Define a function in topgenerate.c. This function will be responsible for the correct generation of the topology specification. * Recompile the environment.
