Building C-with-Ease

The source for the C-with-Ease compiler and libraries cease.tar.gz is here. This file contains some instructions on how to build it.

C-with-Ease can be built using many different parallel systems very simply. Currently supported are:

• Irix kernel threads (using CC/cc)
• Irix kernel threads using gcc
• PVM3 with sun lwp
• Sun lwp
• PVM3 with posix draft 4 threads
• PVM3 with posix draft 6 threads
• Posix 1003.4a Draft 4 threads
• Posix 1003.4a Draft 6 threads
• PVM3 with no threads
• PVM3 with rex lwp
• Rex lwp
• PVM3 with uSystem threads
• uSystem threads

Further ports are fairly easily based on one of these.

PVM is available from netlib and runs on many different architectures.

Posix draft 4 threads are available for the DEC alpha machines.

There is a posix draft 6 threads package available for linux, SunOS, solaris and FreeBSD here.

REX lwp is another threads package for linux and SunOS available here.

uSystem is available from here.
