To install PPW, download the software at the links below. If you have never used PPW before, we recommend that you first check out the quick-start guide, briefly glance over the user manual, then work through the tutorial.

PPW is known to work on many platforms. It has been heavily tested on Linux with the Berkeley UPC compiler (GCC and Intel C compilers) and the GCC UPC compiler (patches available from the GASP website). PPW has also bee lightly tested on the Cray XT3/XT4 (CNL and Catamount with Berkeley UPC and the MPI and Portals conduits), Cray XD1 (using the MPI conduit with Berkeley UPC), FreeBSD, and Sun Solaris. If you want to use PPW with the Cray XT3/XT4, please see the special XT3/XT4 installation page.

If you experience any problems getting PPW to run on your system, please contact us or file a bug report on our bugzilla website.
