Development Environments Supported

The examples and programs presented in this book were developed and tested in the Linux and UNIX environments, specifically with Solaris 8, Aix, and Linux (SuSE, Red Hat). The PVM and MPI code was developed and tested on a 32-node Linux-based cluster. Many of the programs were tested on Sun Enterprise 450s. We used Sun's C++ Workshop, The Portland Group's C++ compiler, and GNU C++. Most examples will run in both the UNIX and Linux environments. In the cases where an example will not run in both environments, this fact is noted in the Program Profiles that are provided for all the complete program examples in the book.
