The apps directory includes two example applications ported to RSIM: a parallel red-black SOR (in the directory apps/SOR) and a parallel quicksort algorithm (in the directory apps/QS). The inputs taken by these applications and the outputs provided are described in the README files in each of the application directories. These applications are provided primarily for instructional purposes. Both programs can be meaningfully run with inputs small enough to fully trace a large part of their execution. Additionally, these applications are useful for familiarizing oneself with the RSIM command line and configuration file.
To facilitate use of the SPLASH [20] and SPLASH-2 [27] applications, the RSIM distribution includes a set of PARMACS macros appropriate for RSIM in the file apps/utils/lib/rsim_macros.
