 OpenCoarrays defines an application binary interface ([ABI]) that translates high-level communication and synchronization requests into low-level calls to a user-specified communication library.  This design decision liberates compiler teams from hardwiring communication-library choice into their compilers and it frees Fortran programmers to express parallel algorithms once and reuse identical CAF source with whichever communication library is most efficient for a given hardware platform.  The communication substrate for OpenCoarrays built with the preferred build system, CMake, is the Message Passing Interface ([MPI]).
 
-OpenCoarrays enables CAF application developers to express parallel algorithms without hardwiring a particular version of a particular communication library or library version into their codes.  Such abstraction makes application code less sensitive to the evolution of the underlying communication libraries and hardware platforms.

 ## <a name="compatibility">Compatibility</a> ##
 The GNU Compiler Collection ([GCC]) Fortran front end ([gfortran]) is OpenCoarrays-aware for release versions 5.1.0 and higher.  Users of other compilers, including earlier versions of gfortran, can access a limited subset of CAF features via the provided [opencoarrays module].  After installation, please execute the "caf" script (which is installed in the "bin" directory of the installation path) with no arguments to see a list of the corresponding limitations.  Please also notify the corresponding compiler vendor and the OpenCoarrays team that you would like for a future version of the compiler to be OpenCoarrays-aware.

-We expect our LIBCAF_MPI library to be the default OpenCoarrays library.  LIBCAF_MPI is the most straightforward to install and use, the most robust in terms of its internal complexity, and the most frequently updated and maintained.  Building LIBCAF_MPI requires prior installation of an MPI implementation.  We recommend [MPICH] generally or, if available, [MVAPICH] for better performance. [OpenMPI] is another option.

 We offer an unsupported LIBCAF_GASNet alternative.  We intend for LIBCAF_GASNet to be an "expert" alternative capable of outperforming MPI for some applications on some platforms.  LIBCAF_GASNet requires greater care to configure and use and building LIBCAF_GASNet requires prior installation of [GASNet].
