3.1 POSE Modules

A POSE module is similar to a Charm++ module. It is comprised of an interface file with suffix .ci, a header .h file, and the implementation in .C files. Several posers can be described in one module, and the module can include regular chares as well. The module is translated into CHARM++ before the simulation can be compiled. This translation is performed by a Perl script called etrans.pl which is included with POSE. It generates files suffixed _sim.ci, _sim.h, and _sim.C.
