Parallel Toolbox for MATLAB
The MATLAB scientific package is a leading computation
and graphics software system for engineers. It has become the
premier software package for interactive numeric computation, data
analysis, graphics, and scientific computing.
The Parallel Toolbox (PT) has been created
to provide MATLAB programmers a tool to easily
run and test parallel algorithms without losing the power
and ease of MATLAB.
About MATLAB and PVM

Downloading
download a postscript version of the PT users manual.
download PT in compressed format.
These files may also be accessed via FTP at web.mthcsc.wfu.edu/pub/pt.
PT is in a developing phase. It has been compiled succesfully in a cluster
of SUN SPARC 5 workstations running MATLAB 4.2c and PVM 3.7.
We do not guarantee that it will compile for
every system.
However, if this toolbox turns out to be of any use to you, we
will greatly appreciate your input and ideas as it may keep this project alive.
Questions concerning PT?
Currently, efforts are being made to improve robustness of PT Error Display,
and to port PT to
the IBM SP2 at Maui High Performance Computing Center, Hawaii.

Developers
PT was developed by four computer science
graduate students at Wake Forest University as
a part of a software engineering
class during the spring semester 1995. These students are:
