Procedures are presented that are designed to help users
efficiently program irregular problems (e.g. unstructured
mesh sweeps, sparse matrix codes, adaptive mesh partial dif-
ferential equations solvers) on distributed memory machines.
These procedures are also designed for use in compilers for
distributed memory multiprocessors. The portable CHAOS pro-
cedures are designed to support dynamic data distributions
and to automatically generate send and receive messsage by
capturing communications patterns at runtime.
