How to get the ViC* software

We don't just put the software out on a server because (a) it's always in a state of flux, and (b) we want to make sure you know what you're getting into first.

At this time, the compiler is not available, but the ViC* interface, which makes your system look like the Parallel Disk Model, is.

Current ViC* interface implementations:

• Uniprocessor with Unix File System (UFS).
• Multiprocessor with MPI for interprocessor communication and UFS.
• Multiprocessor with MPI for interprocessor communication and the Galley File System.
• MPI-IO (currently works on ROMIO).

All UFS versions require that your system support Posix pthreads.

Note that ViC* can give you the illusion of having parallel disks even if you have only one disk! That way, you can at least verify functional correctness of your implementation of PDM algorithms.

Using the ViC* interface, we have developed a library for out-of-core BMMC permutations and also out-of-core FFT codes for both uniprocessors and multiprocessors. Click the "Papers" button above or here to find papers that describe these methods.
