Preface

This manual provides reference descriptions of commands available in the Prism trademark environment.

The manual is intended for application programmers developing serial or parallel
programs that are to run on a Sun trademark HPC system. You should know the basics
of developing and debugging programs, as well as the basics of the system on which
you will be using Prism software. Some familiarity with the Solaris® debugger dbx is helpful, but not required. The Prism interface is based on the X and OSF/Motif standards. Familiarity with these standards is also helpful, but not required.
