a C e Architecture-adaptive Computing Environment aCe is a programing and execution environment for the development of applications that are based on parallel programing. aCe will run under Linux or Mac OsX 10.3. It will also run on clusters of Linux workstations. It supports sockets over TCP, but allows an application to be run in a single process for ease of program development. aCe C is the programming language for aCe. It is a superset of ANS C. Documentation for aCe can be found in the '../share/ace' directory (relative to the 'bin' directory in which ace is found). aCe includes no third party software. However if one wants to use aCe graphics they must install either 'glut' or 'freeglut'. Otherwise glut is not necessary. aCe requires python for some system scripts. Installation (for LINUX): - Put 'ace-1.00.xx.tar.gz in '/usr/local' - De-tar aCe: 'tar xzpf ace-1.00.xx.tar.gz' in '/usr/local' - Goto aCe directory: 'cd ace-1.00.xx ' - Read README file Installation (for MAC OsX): - Make directory '/sw/src' - Put 'ace-1.00.xx.tar.gz in '/sw/src' - De-tar aCe: 'tar xzpf ace-1.00.xx.tar.gz' in '/sw/src' - Goto aCe directory: 'cd ace-1.00.xx ' - Read README file
