GENESIS APPLICATION SOFTWARE

In its second phase GENESIS was essentially a software project. Howeve r, already from its very beginning, the GENESIS project put a strong e mphasis on parallel application software. More than ten research insti tutions and companies were involved in GENESIS on the application soft ware side. The development of PARMACS, the portable message passing la yer in GENESIS, allowed full portability across a substantial number o f different parallel systems. This portability was demonstrated succes sfully with the GENESIS application codes.
