programming interface that is a device independent view of the CDF data
model. The application developer is insulated from the actual physical
file format for reasons of conceptual simplicity, device independence,
and future expandability. CDF files created on any given platform can
be transported to any other platform on to which CDF is ported and used
with any CDF tools or layered applications.

McStas is an ongoing project to create a general tool for simulating neutron
scattering instruments. The project is conducted at Risoe National Laboratory
in cooperation with the ILL.
McStas is based on a compiler that reads a high-level specification language
defining the instrument to be simulated and produces C code that performs the
Monte Carlo Simulation.

DeViSoRGrid application is part of that software family and is primarily used
for the following tasks, so far in 2D only:
* Geometry generation
* Manual coarse mesh generation
* Grid visualisation at all levels
All of this can be done in a very confortable manner using a simple point and
click interface like in common vector-based image processing software. Both the
reliable FEAT file format and the new FEAST format with integrated parallelism
are supported.

kst is a program for looking at data streams. It can plot:
- x-y plots
- power spectra
- histograms
- equations (including equations of data streams).
- data in files which are being updated as data is being logged,
in which case it can act as a plotter for a chart recorder.
- much more
You can use the mouse to rapidly zoom into interesting parts of the plots.
In addition to a complete GUI, kst has a convenient command line interface
for rapid access to plotting data in files. kst can read data from stdin.
It provides a DCOP interface for remote manipulation, and supports several
file formats in use in scientific projects around the world.

based upon the DFT++ algebraic framework introduced in Computer
Physics Communications 128, 1-45 (June 2000).
This framework allows us to transparently separate the computational
guts (cache optimization, parallelization, etc.) from the introduction
of new representations (plane waves, wavelets) and new
physics (new density functionals, linear response theory,
dielectric solutions).
The software is fully cache and register optimized,
and runs in serial, threaded, MPI and mixed threaded-MPI
parallel environments.

A common input structure has been used throughout so that
only minor modifications are needed to switch from one
program to another.
All the models produce shade files which can be processed
