package System.Garlic is
pragma Pure;
-- GARLIC is organized around several modules, which form a coherent
-- set:
-- System.Garlic
-- This is the top-level package for all the PCS.
-- System.Garlic.Protocols
-- This package defines the Protocol_Type type and its primitive
-- operations. An instance of Protocol_Type'Class defines a
-- communication mean (e.g. Tcp) and performs some basic operations.
-- System.Garlic.Options
-- This package gets the Boot_Location and other informations from
-- the command line.
-- System.Garlic.Startup
-- This package 'withes' the different protocols to link them into
-- the runtime and do the job of registering them. It also offers
-- services to initialize the PCS.
-- System.Garlic.Physical_Location
-- This package defines a Location type which will represents the
-- way to use to find a protocol. This type is usable for
-- inter-partitions communications and will be used to spread
-- the knowledge into the PCS.
-- System.Garlic.Heart
-- This is the heart of the system. It defines callable operations
-- to initialize the system and send Params_Stream_Type instances
-- accross partitions, and thus may be called by System.RPC to
-- perform the remote calls.
-- System.Garlic.Remote
-- This package provides the necessary procedures needed to launch
-- the slave partitions with the right options.
-- System.Garlic.Replay
-- This package provides the user with facilities to record and
-- replay the execution of a distributed program.
-- System.Garlic.Filters
-- This package implements data filtering.
