Bank Definitions (BDML)

To facilitate communication between different modules of the primex analysis software, a bank structure was defned. Some properties include standard access mechanisims, dynamic resizing, and extensibility. Top level definitions of the banks was done by creating a flavor of XML dubbed the Bank Definition Markup Language (BDML)[1]. With BDML, a new bank is easily added to a single BDML file and the neccessary code is automatically generated by make. Additionally, the bank printing routines and documentation are standardized and generated directly from the BDML source.
