abstract

LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is a programming environment and
development system for a message-passing parallel machine constituted with
heterogeneous UNIX computers on a network. With LAM, a dedicated cluster
or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel
computer solving one compute-intensive problem.
LAM emphasizes productivity in the application development cycle with
extensive control and monitoring functionality. The user can easily debug the
common errors in parallel programming and is well equipped to diagnose
more difficult problems.
LAM features a full implementation of the MPI communication standard.
