____________________________________________________
THE PARALLAXIS PARALLEL PROGRAMMING SYSTEM
____________________________________________________
This directory contains version -- 2.37 -- of the Parallaxis system.
Each program now has an independent version number, while this overall
number is being incremented for every change made.
The latest versions of the programs are:
pa (Parallaxis compiler) : 2.17
pz (Parallaxis simulator) : 2.04
pz2c (PARZ to C compiler) : 2.8
pmon (timing tool for X window) : 2.1
pgui (graphics interface for x) : 1.0
Besides the simulation systems for various workstations and PCs,
the parallel Parallaxis implementation is available for MasPar MP-1
and Conncetion Machine CM-2.
The programming environment tools are available for X-window systems only.
These tools are included in the distribution files of the appropriate computer
system. The source codes for both tools are available via ftp in separate
"tar"-files.
The Parallaxis User Manual (without syntax diagrams) is now also available in
electronic form as a number of Postscript files:
MANUAL_large.tar.Z (regular pages) or
MANUAL_small.tar.Z (two pages reduced on one)
This directory contains compressed archive files of Parallaxis for
the following computer systems:
Apple Macintosh (Mac OS, StuffIt-hqx file) (no graphics yet)
IBM-PC AT DOS (compressed tar file) (no graphics yet)
IBM-PC AT DOS w/co-proc. (EMX, Eberhard Mattes Extend.)(no graphics yet)
IBM-PC AT OS/2 2.0 (selfextracting PC EXE file) (no graphics yet)
IBM-PC AT Unix (compressed tar file) (no graphics yet)
OS/2 or Unix are HIGHLY recommended for IBM-PC or
compat. since DOS has severe memory space limitations
Sun 3 (OS 4.0, w/ coprocessor)
Sun 3 (OS 4.0 w/o coprocessor)
SPARCstation / Sun 4 (OS 4.0)
IBM RS/6000
HP /800 series
DECstation 2100
MasPar MP-1 (with DECstation front end, software rev. MP-3.22)
Conncetion Machine CM-2 (with SPARCstation fron end)
The following systems have been requested once, but will not be updated.
The filename shows the version number (e.g. "x.2.10..." is version 2.10).
Apollo DN3000 (Aegis 9.7)
Cray-2 (scalar only, sorry)
HP 9000/300
MasPar MP-1/VAX (with VAXstation front end)
Silicon Graphics 4D (without simulator and graphics routines)
Sony 68030-based (without simulator and graphics routines)
Sony MIPS-based (without simulator and graphics routines)
VAXstation (without graphics)
VAX / VMS (without simulator and graphics routines)
The (basic) example files "Examples.tar.Z" are included in the Macintosh-file,
but not in the other systems' versions, so you have to copy them
separately. All further sample applications "More_Examples.tar.Z" are separate
for all versions.
All executable files are compressed and in tar-format, except the Macintosh
version, which has been converted by BinHex and StuffIt.
The text file DOCU_SHORT is a limited survey of Parallaxis version 1 (!),
including the outdated version 1 language syntax, but does not resemble
the user manual! Text file BUGS_FIXED lists all errors removed from previous
versions. The current version number is stated in the name of this file.
You are free to copy the file packages provided, but make sure to return
a filled-in registration sheet. If you consider to upload Parallaxis to
another bullitin board, please let me know in advance, so I can coordinate
updates.
In order to operate the Parallaxis system, you definitely need a copy of
the "Parallaxis Version 2 User Manual", which is available either via
"anonymous ftp", or as a printed copy for a nominal fee by air mail.
