   ==================================================================


1. Description
--------------
The benchmark assumes that the matrix to be transposed is square. The 
matrix is decomposed into a grid of sub-matrices. Hence this program
must be run on a number of processes which is a perfect square.


2. Operating Instructions
-------------------------

Changing problem size and numbers of processes:

The following parameters are specified by PARAMETER statements in 
the file "trans1.inc" : 
Number of processes (N), maximum matrix side on each process (MAXD),
and the number of times the transpose is to be repeated (LOOPS).

Suggested Problem Sizes :

The experience accumulated so far shows that for small number of
processes (up to 36) the values in the table below are suitable.

		--------------------------------------
		| SIDE | No. of processes - N |   D  |
		--------------------------------------
		|   1  |           1          |  960 |
		|   2  |           4          |  480 |
		|   3  |           9          |  320 |
		|   4  |          16          |  240 |
		|   5  |          25          |  192 |
		|   6  |          36          |  160 |
		--------------------------------------

For larger number of processes the problem size should also be larger by
increasing the parameter MAXD.


Compiling and Running The Benchmark:

1) Choose problem size and number of processes by editing the PARAMETER
   statement in the file `trans1.inc'.

2) To compile and link the benchmark type:   `make' for the distributed 
   version or `make slave' for the single-node version.

3) If any of the parameters in the include files are changed,
   the code has to be recompiled. The make-file will automatically
   send to the compiler only affected files.

4) On some systems it may be necessary to allocate the appropriate
   resources before running the benchmark, eg. on the iPSC/860
   to reserve a cube of 8 processors, type:    getcube -t8

5) To run either sequential or distributed version of the benchmark,
   type:    trans1

   A permanent copy of the benchmark output is written to a file
   called 'trans1.res'.
