UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Is Unix for me?

Hi,
"Can someone my speed handle UNIX?" well that is up to you if you can handle it. I'm sure you asked the same question when you first used Windows or any other O/S. They are just a matter of learning and knowing how it works. 4 months ago I hardly touched a Linux/Unix box. Now they are the main computers that I use at work, only reason I use windows is for the net and e-mails.
I can't program free hand. I have learnt how to script and do some basic programming in my time. You can't help but to have to learn to pick it up. It's not to hard just look for examples and move from there if your having problems.
Don't give up on it though, if you think UNIX is to hard to start with try Linux. That is pretty easy to use and learn, then when you think you can tackle Unix go for it. There's not to much difference between them in the basic base line commands.

LAM(1) LAM OVERVIEW LAM(1) NAME
LAM - introduction to Local Area Multicomputer (LAM) DESCRIPTION
LAM is an MPI programming environment and development system for a message-passing parallel machine constituted with heterogeneous UNIX computers on a network. With LAM, a dedicated cluster or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer solving one compute-intensive problem. LAM emphasizes productivity in the application development cycle with extensive control and moni- toring functionality. The user can easily debug the common errors in parallel programming and is well equipped to diagnose more difficult problems. LAM features a full implementation of the MPI communication standard, with the exception that the MPI_CANCEL function will not properly cancel messages that have been sent. User Information Users are strongly encouraged to read the LAM/MPI User's Guide that is included with the LAM/MPI distribution, and is provided on the main LAM/MPI web site (http://www.lam-mpi.org/). Up-to-Date Information The LAM home page can be found on the World Wide Web at: http://www.lam-mpi.org/. It should be consulted for the most current information about LAM, as well as updates, patches, etc. SEE ALSO
