|
The goal of the Zoltan project is to design a general-purpose tool for
|
|
parallel data management for unstructured, dynamic applications. This tool includes a suite of load-balancing
|
|
algorithms, an unstructured communication package, distributed data directories, and dynamic debugging tools that can be used by a variety of applications. It will, thus,
|
|
be used by many application developers and be added to by many algorithm
|
|
developers. Software projects of this scale need general guidelines
|
|
and principles so that the code produced is easily maintained and added
|
|
to. We have tried to keep restrictions on developers to a minimum.
|
|
However, we do require that a few coding practices be followed. These
|
|
guidelines are described in the following sections:
