Parallel Toolbox

Version 1.x

The Parallel Toolbox simplifies the automatic parallelization of local graph oriented problems. It is based upon C++ and (for the time being) PVM as underlying communication library. In the English documentation you will find information about concepts, installation, and usage of the toolbox.

Version 2.x

The new version of the Parallel Toolbox will consist of several independent modules. Together they will eventually have the functionality of Version 1.x with some advantages:

  • Support of both PVM and MPI communication libraries,
  • Support of MPPs and cluster architectures,
  • Simplified access to command-line parameters and configuration files.

Platforms

The toolbox has been tested on several platforms. The following table gives an overview of the development.
