PENELOPE-MPI requires Fortran 90 and C compilers and the MPI library and runs
on IBM SP workstations.  The code was tested at RSICC on an IBM SP3 under AIX 
with mpxlf90 and mpcc compilers.

PENELOPE-MPI extends capabilities of PENELOPE-2001 by providing for usage 
of MPI type parallel drivers and extends the original versions ability to read 
different types of input data sets such as voxel data. The physics of the 
calculations were not changed, and the original documentation is still valid.

The Indiana University Medical Center's Radiation Oncology Department and
University Information Technology Services at Indiana University adapted
PENELOPE-2001 to increase efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations for medical
applications.  PENELOPE-2001 (NEA-1525/05; RSICC C00682MNYCP02) was developed
by the Universitat de Barcelona and Institut de Tècniques Energètiques,
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain, and the Universidad
Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina.

ReadmeIU.txt is the only new documentation for PENELOPE-MPI.

The Penelope Forum list archives and other information can be accessed at
http://www.nea.fr/lists/penelope.html 

File penelope\report\manual.txt contains some general information about Penelope-2001
package contents. The installation section of manual.txt contains guidance on compiling 
and loading executables.  Sample input files are included.
