Newman ---------------------- This package contains a parallel
implementation (using the LAM implementation of the MPI
specification) of Newman's algorithm for the exact solution of
linear systems of equations over the integers. Installation
---------------------- Since the code deals with large integers,
we use the gmp (GNU MP) library for arbitrary precision
arithmetic. The code has been tested with libgmp version 2.0.2.
Since this is a parallel program, we also require an
implementation of the MPI specification. The scripts provided to
generate runtime data and run automated tests assume that the
user is using the LAM package (this has been tested with LAM
6.5.8), although in theory, any implementation of the MPI
specification should work. The user may download these two
packages at the following URLs: libgmp: lam: Once these have
been installed, the package should be decompressed by running
gzip -cd newman.tar.gz | tar -xf - Compilation is then
accomplished by running make in the created directory ./newma
