                     README for Dvegas 

This directory contains source code, Makefiles, demo programs 
and documentation for the Dvegas library.  The Dvegas library
facilitates adaptive Monte Carlo integration based on an enhanced
and extended version of Peter Lepage's VEGAS algorithm.  It 
allows to automatically take into account correlations.  The code
is fully object-oriented, written in ISO/ANSI standard C++,
makes extensive use of the C++ Standard Library and includes an
interface to OmniComp.

OmniComp is an intuitive system that is easy to install and use
which allows to accelerate Monte Carlo programs through distributed
execution on workstation clusters or PC farms as well as multi-
processor machines.  It is based on omniORB, a high-performance, 
open-source CORBA implementation from AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 
Notably, it does not require thread-safe integrand implementations.
