PILGRIM Library
			---------------

This directory contains a prototype for Parallel Library for Grid
Manipulations.  Note that it is neither complete nor does it
necessarily contain components which are a baseline for future
development.  At any one time this directory will contain prototypes
and unit tests, some of which can be used for benchmarking purposes.

As of 15 March 2002, this directory contains:

	README				This file
	Makefile			The makefile
	Makefile.conf.XXXX		Configurations for various platforms
	configure			Script to set up for your platform
	debug.h				Debugging macros used in PILGRIM
	debugutilitiesmodule.F90	Debugging utilities
	decompmodule.F90		Decomposition utilities
	ghostmodule.F90			Ghosting utilities
	parutilitiesmodule.F90		High level communication primitives
	redistributemodule.F90		Redistribute module
	memstuff.c			SGI specific utilities
	mp_assign_to_cpu.c		SGI specific utilities
	mod_comm.F90			Basic communication primitives
	unit_testers			Directory containing unit testers
	pilgrim.h			Include file
	
Installation:
-------------

	1) Run ./configure -- this will create Makefile.conf, a 
	   link to the appropriate Makefile.conf.XXXXX file.
	   If the appropriate Makefile.conf.XXXXX for your 
	   architecture does not exist, create one from one
	   of the other examples and please mail it to the
	   author, sawyer@dao.gsfc.nasa.gov
	
	2) Some editting of Makefile.conf might be necessary.
	   For example, you may have to change the values
	   of _LMPI (location of the MPI library), _lMPI
	   (name of the MPI library), and _IMPI (location
	   of the MPI include files, e.g. mpif.h).

	3) Type "make". This should build "libpilgrim.a".

	4) Optional: 

		cd unit_testers
		make tests
		
		mpirun -np nnnn XXXXXest

	For a wide array of programming examples, please look at
	the unit testers:
