| Short description: |
A parallel version of the symbolic manipulation system
FORM based on MPI.
It demonstrates a good speedup behaviour on symmetric multiprocessing machines
and modern cluster architectures. FORM programs written for the sequential
version can run on the ParFORM without any modifications. |
