Sterling FASTdrivers is a highly optimized library which enables the NASA Flow Analysis Software Toolkit (FAST) to operate under AIX on IBM RISC System/6000 and the Hewlett Packard 9000 series workstations. The Sterling FASTdrivers package is installed with the FAST standard distribution from NASA or COSMIC, using makefiles and shell script files provided by Sterling. FAST is a modular analysis and visualization tool developed by Sterling Software under contract to NASA. It is commonly used with grids and data generated by finite-difference, finite-element and other analytical methods. FAST is one of the most widely used systems in the United States for visualization of fluid flow and similar types of grid-oriented 3-D data. As distributed by NASA or COSMIC, FAST can operate only on a limited set of workstations and does not operate on the RS/6000, or the Hewlett Packard 9000 series workstations. When the Sterling FASTdrivers are installed with FAST on your IBM RS/6000, or the Hewlett Packard 9000 series workstations, FAST is adapted to and optimized for the RS/6000 and HP.
