The sequential C versions of the NAS CFD (computational fluid dynamics) 
benchmarks - appbt and appsp - are now available from the anonymous ftp 
site ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/wwt/Benchmarks/nas

This distribution contains the C version of the fortran cfd codes written
at NASA Ames Research Center by Sisira Weeratunga.  These codes were
converted to C by a team of students for their class project for CS
838-3/ChE 562  offered in Spring 1993 by Mark D. Hill, Sangtae Kim and
Mary Vernon at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.  CS 838-3/ChE
562 was an experimental course that brought computer scientists and
computation scientists together to promote interdisciplinary research.

You should have a NAS license for the original fortran code.  NASA has 
given us permission to distribute our ``significant'' changes freely.  

You can obtain the sequential fortran codes and a license by writing
