SABrE User's Guide
In computing landscape which has a plethora of different hardware architectures and supporting software systems ranging from compilers to operating systems, there is an obvious and strong need for a philosophy of software development that lends itself to the design and construction of portable code systems. The current efforts to standardize software bear witness to this need. SABrE is an effort to implement a software development environment which is itself portable and promotes the design and construction of portable applications. SABrE does not include such important tools as editors and compilers. Well built tools of that kind are readily available across virtually all computer platforms. The areas that SABrE addresses are at a higher level involving issues such as data portability, portable inter-process communication, and graphics. These blocks of functionality have particular significance to the kind of code development done at LLNL. That is partly why the general computing community has not supplied us with these tools already. This is another key feature of the software development environments which we must recognize. The general computing community cannot and should not be expected to produce all of the tools which we require.
