System Requirements

 

PADE is designed to execute on workstations running the Unix operating system and its variants. Most of its functionality consists of executing other standalone programs. These programs therefore define the basic system requirements, which can be summarized as follows:

Information on how to get these programs is contained in Section 2.4 below.

A key tenet of the PADE design concept is that it must enhance the utility of the underlying message-passing library, and thus it must be accessible to any user of that library. Thus, like all the programs itemized above, PADE can be installed by any user; no system privileges are required. However, the installer will need to know the locations of certain system resources, as described in Section 2.5.
