Hi, everyone:

At the request of Tom, I have set up a facility
which provides the following two resources for the ADM-Code group:

1. ADM-CODE Mailing and Newsgroups Archive

This is an archive system in which any mail sent to
the admcode@npac.syr.edu reflector will be stored there for
your future reference/searching, in addition to the one
goes to your own mailbox. Several USENET newsgroups and 
mailing lists related to parallel computing
are archived together as a resource of related information. 
A Web-based search/navigation interface to this archive is                               
built and implemented on a 4-node IBM                                
SP2 where parallel Oracle 7 server backends                                
the archive system. You can search in the                               
archive with a set of search criteria: by                             
keyword, sender, time. thread and others. 

The current archived list of newsgroups and mailing lists include:

admcode (maining-list) (5) 
comp.parallel (972) 
comp.parallel.mpi (627) 
comp.parallel.pvm (998) 

Total archives: 4 Total Messages: 2602 


2. A web-based chat board for real-time discussion interaction
via the Internet. This is an interactive collaboration
environment that allows you to communicate with others 
via an Internet and Web based chat board. This system is also
built on the SP2 with parallel Oracle database servers.

The URL of this facility is

http://merlin9.npac.syr.edu:1963/admcode/home.html
or 
http://128.230.3.39:1963/admcode/home.html

Currently due to an unknown problem in the parallel Oracle
software, you may occassionally find this facility unavailable
during the down time of this server.

Please let me know if any question/problem - gcheng@npac.syr.edu.
