LAM - introduction to Local Area Multicomputer (LAM)

       LAM  is  an  MPI  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, with the exception that the
       MPI_CANCEL function will not properly cancel messages that have been sent.

   UserInformation
       Users are strongly encouraged to read the  LAM/MPIUser'sGuide  that  is  included  with  the  LAM/MPI
       distribution, and is provided on the main LAM/MPI web site (http://www.lam-mpi.org/).

   Up-to-DateInformation
       The LAM home page can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://www.lam-mpi.org/.  It should be consulted
       for the most current information about LAM, as well as updates, patches, etc.
