MADNESS Documentation

These pages serve as the main programmer's reference manual for MADNESS and were automatically generated from the source using Doxygen.

A good place to start is the modules page that provides access to documentation for libraries, examples, and applications. The examples are intended to meet the needs of those starting to develop new applications.

Additional technical documentation can be found in the MADNESS doc directory

• The getting started guide introduces use of the numerical functionality
• The implementation notes document the internal numerical workings as a resource for both users and MADNESS developers.
• The parallel runtime and API documents document the operation and interface for the parallel programming environment.

The project home contains information on configuring, building, etc.

Status and supported platforms

MADNESS is roughly in beta release. Most things work well enough for several applications to be in production mode, but on the other hand there are still lots of "rough" spots and the documentation in particular does not yet meet our expectations.

Currently, we intend that MADNESS work correctly and efficiently on the following platforms

• Cray XT,
• IBM BG/P,
• Linux workstations with x86 32-bit and 64-bit multi-core processors, and clusters thereof
• Apple Macintosh (Intel processors) with recent versions of OS X.

To build on any of these you will need a recent software stack.
