CHAOS

Abstract

The Chaos library is a set of software primitives that are designed to efficiently handle irregular problems on distributed memory systems. It is a superset of the Parti library. These primitives have been designed to ease the implementation of computational problems on parallel architecture machines by relieving users of low-level machine specific issues.
