NIST'S PADE FEATURED IN NEW BOOK ON BUILDING LINUX CLUSTERS.NIST's Parallel Application Development Environment (PADE), a tool for developing parallel applications on a computer network, is featured in the new book: Building Linux Clusters, published in July 2000, by O'Reilly and Associates O'Reilly and Associates - The leading publisher of information on the Internet, Unix, the X Window System and other open systems. They also provide the Global Network Navigator service. Home page. (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/clusterlinux/). PADE was produced by NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards.

A software system designed to allow a network of heterogeneous machines to be used as a single distributed parallel processor. message-passing library. Building Linux Clusters presents PADE as one of the most extensively used tools in the field, and provides a copy of the PADE software on its bundled CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). . PADE has already had considerable success as a stand-alone program and is available on a NIST web server. Now it also will be distributed as part of an enterprise solution package by one of the leading publishers serving the Unix and Linux communities. |
