// .NAME vtkMPIEventLog - Class for logging and timing.

// .SECTION Description
// This class is wrapper around MPE event logging functions
// (available from Argonne National Lab/Missippi State
// University). It allows users to create events with names
// and log them. Different log file formats can be generated
// by changing MPE's configuration. Some of these formats are
// binary (for examples SLOG and CLOG) and can be analyzed with
// viewers from ANL. ALOG is particularly useful since it is
// text based and can be processed with simple scripts.

// .SECTION See Also
// vtkTimerLog vtkMPIController vtkMPICommunicator
