PACLIB (C) Copyright 1993 by RISC-Linz This directory contains the essential source code of the PACLIB system configured to run on Sequent Symmetry S81 multiprocessors under the operating system Dynix/ptx 1.3.1. The PACLIB system is principally portable to other UNIX workstations and shared memory multiprocessors as well but we do neither guarantee this nor necessarily provide porting support. Please note that the PACLIB system consists of three distinct parts with different copyright agreements. 1. THE PACLIB KERNEL. The source code of the kernel is included in this package and available free of charge by RISC-Linz on behalf of the parallel computation group. 2. THE SACLIB LIBRARY. A modified variant of the library is included in this package but subject to the copyright agreement expressed in the file COPYRIGHT.SACLIB. The authentic and stand-alone version of SACLIB can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ftp.risc.uni-linz.ac.at (193.170.36.100) as pub/saclib/saclib.tar.Z. Future versions of SACLIB may be incompatible to the variant used in the PACLIB system. 3. THE USYSTEM.
