The fitting program produces times based solely on alpha and beta values. The code can be downloaded as a tar-gzipped (.tar.gz) - 10 kB file or a zipped (.zip) - 10 kB file.

The fitting program must be compiled with the math library provided in most C distributions. For example 'gcc -Wall -lm fitting.c -o fitting.exe'. The fitting program reads in 10 values and generates output as files based on them. The values are:scanf("%f", &alphas):

• Send alpha - The startup latency for a send call.
• Send beta - The communication volume cost for a send call.
• Receive alpha - The startup latency for a receive call.
• Receive beta - The communication volume cost for a receive call.
• Alpha - the average alpha value.
• Beta - The average beta value
• p - The number of processors.
• start - The starting number of elements.
• end - The final number of elements.
• step - The size of element step.

The files used in program are described as:

• fitting.c - The main program.
