This file is part of the LAM/MPI software package.  For license
information, see the LICENSE file in the top level directory of the
LAM/MPI source distribution.


This tree includes all the necessary files for the different RPI's in
LAM/MPI.  The layout is not entirely self-explanaitory; this file is
meant to clear up any confusion.

Note that the LAM RPI is due to change in the not-too-distant future.
Changes will likely include capabilities for making LAM MT safe, MT
hot, and having [true] multiple devices compiled in LAM
simultaneously.  It is possible that the old RPI will be left intact
(i.e., the changes will consist of an entirely new API such that the
old API can be left for compatability-mode compiles), so that any
independantly-developed 3rd party RPIs will still function correctly,
but we're not making any promises to that effect.

Subdirectories:

- c2c   - contains files common to all C2C RPIs.
- lamd  - contains the LAMD RPI, and a helper function that is common
          to all RPIs, lamfault().  When there are more helper
          functions, they will likely warrant their own subdirectory.
- myri  - contains the Myrinet RPI (still under development).
- shmem - contains files common to the 2 shared memory RPIs.
- sysv  - contains the files specific to the sysv shared memory RPI.
          Compiling with this RPI also requires the contents of the
          shmem and tcp directories.
- tcp   - contains the files specific to the tcp RPI.  Taking
          advantage of Unix linker semantics, this can be combined
          with the shared memory RPIs to make the shared memory RPIs
          be TCP-aware as well.
- sysv  - contains the files specific to the usysv shared memory RPI.
          Compiling with this RPI also requires the contents of the
          shmem and tcp directories.
