The IBM Supercomputing Program Data Base is a listing of
information concerning programs that have been written or
converted to use IBM 3090 vector or parallel processing.
The data base is maintained by the Computer Center at the
University of Illinois at Chicago with support from IBM.
Data provided for each program include the program's appli-
cation area, name, a description, the environment under
which it operates, the person to contact for more informa-
tion and the approximate cost for academic user. The pro-
grams themselves are not available through the data base.
The data base is referred to as ``supersft'' for ``supercom-
puting software.''
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _a_c_c_e_s_s
This data base is accessible to other universities through
BITNET and the Internet. A LISTSERV virtual machine named
SUPERSFT has been established at UIC for easy retrieval of
the information.
_W_h_o _C_a_n _U_s_e _T_h_e _D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e
Access to the database is open to anyone with a BITNET or
Internet connection. Access to the programs described in
the database is controlled by their owners.

Three files available through this LISTSERV provide informa-
tion about the data base, an index to the data base, and a
form for submission of information. To receive these files,
issue the following commands from a VM system on BITNET:
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft help [for the help file]
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft index [for the index]
tell listserv at uicvm get supersft form [for the submission form]
If you do not use a VM system, send a standard note
addressed to ``listserv at uicvm'' if you're on BITNET or
``listserv@uicvm.cc.uic.edu'' if you're on the Internet.
The note should contain just the appropriate LISTSERV com-
mands, such as
get [filename1 filetype1]
get [filename2 filetype2]
substituting the names of the files of interest.
Submissions to the data base can be made either electroni-
cally or by mail. The information submission form is in the
file named SUPERSFT FORM mentioned above.
