6 GUTS/IO  is a specification compliance testing suite for Unified Parallel C (UPC) I/O library
7 implementations. The latest UPC/IO specification (V1.02) was considered while developing our
8 testing suite. It is designed by trying to follow the unit testing strategy as much as possible.
9 That is, each function provided in UPC/IO specification is tested in a single unit.
10
11 Requirements:
12 -------------
13
14 You need to have UPC/IO library successfully installed to use guts_io. In order to get more information
15 on how to download and install the UPC/IO library please refer to the
16         http://threads.seas.gwu.edu/sites/libupcio/wiki
17        
18 Also, you need to have a working latest specification compliant UPC compiler.

20 How to use guts_io testing bench?
21 ---------------------------------
22
23 Basically, there is a script "guts_io.sh" provided for convenience. This script compiles and runs each
24 unit inside the UPC/IO testing suite. Here, unit refers to each functionality or call specified in the
25 UPC/IO Library Specifications. 
26
27 Usage : ./guts_io.sh [# of threads]
28
29 In order to get the UPC Compiler flags, script is using the "upcio-config" which is created after installing
30 the "libupcio" refer to http://threads.seas.gwu.edu/sites/libupcio/browser/posix/README for more information.
31
32 How can I use guts_io to test a unit that I created?
33 ----------------------------------------------------
34
35 Please follow the API i.e "GULA_FAIL(error message)" for your error outputs, create your source file and just
36 put the name of the additional units in ./src/units[_shared] file in a seperate line.
37 You can then use the script as usual, as stated expanding the units is very flexible and easy.
