Prerequisites

POOMA requires a modern C++ compiler, such as G++ 3.1 or later. POOMA has been used with a wide variety of compilers, but some changes may be required to support compilers that do not correctly implement some aspects of the ISO C++ standard with respect to templates.

If you wish to use the parallel features of POOMA, you must also download either SMARTS (to use threads) or Cheetah (to use message-passing).

Installation

POOMA must be built from the source distribution. Directions for building POOMA (and other packages, like Cheetah) can be found within the source distributions for those packages.
