MUP NUMBER: DXML331_DEV ----------- PRODUCT: Digital Extended Math Library for Digital UNIX -------- UPDATED PRODUCT: Digital Extended Math Library for Digital UNIX 3.3A ---------------- APPRX BLCK SIZE: 92000 ---------------- DIGITAL Digital Extended Math Library (DXML) Version 3.3A for Digital UNIX Development Kit Please Read Before Installation December 1996 1 DXML Version 3.3A Development Kit DXML Version 3.3A is identical to DXML Version 3.3 with one exception as follows. The installation scripts for the parallel development subset (XMDPLL330) has a too restrictive test that causes the wrong version of the library to be installed on some newer, yet to be released versions of Digital UNIX. The error causes the IVP to fail and the library not to work. DXML Version 3.3A with subset number 331 (eg. XMDPLL331) fixes the problem. Version 3.3 of DXML has had the following changes made since the release of Version 3.2 in January 1996: o SCIPORT, Digital's implementation of CRAY LibSci, has been added. o Four random generator subprograms and two auxilary input subprograms for parallel applications have been added to the DXML library. o Two quick sort and two general purpose sort subprograms have been added to the DXML library. The kit includes the following subsets: o XMDLOA331 - serial library o XMDPLL331 - parallel library o XMDMAN331 - manpages o XMDSCI331 - SCIPORT These subsets replace the previous DXML distribution kit. Please note that the parallel library should be installed only on a multiprocessor (SMP) configuration running Digital UNIX Version 3.0 or later. The following user documentation is available on the CD-ROM distribution in Bookreader format: o Digital Extended Math Library for Digital UNIX Reference Manual o Digital Extended Math Library for Digital UNIX Installation Guide The documentation kit is also available in hardcopy format from Digital. The order number is QA-MUXAA-GZ. DXML Version 3.3 is also available as an individual product option. The order number is QA-MUXAA-H8. 2 Disk Space Requirements You need approximately 90 megabytes of disk space to install all four DXML subsets.
