GENESIS application software

Abstract In its second phase GENESIS was essentially a software project. However, already from its very beginning, the GENESIS project put a strong emphasis on parallel application software. More than ten research institutions and companies were involved in GENESIS on the application software side. The development of PARMACS, the portable message passing layer in GENESIS, allowed full portability across a substantial number of different parallel systems. This portability was demonstrated successfully with the GENESIS application codes.
