Description : LHAPDF is a general purpose C++ interpolator, used for evaluating PDFs
: from discretized data files. Previous versions of LHAPDF were written
: in Fortran 77/90 and are documented at http://lhapdf.hepforge.org/lhapdf5/.
:
: LHAPDF6 vastly reduces the memory overhead of the Fortran LHAPDF (from
: gigabytes to megabytes!), entirely removes restrictions on numbers of
: concurrent PDFs, allows access to single PDF members without needing
: to load whole sets, and separates a new standardized PDF data format
: from the code library so that new PDF sets may be created and released
: easier and faster. The C++ LHAPDF6 also permits arbitrary parton
: contents via the standard PDG ID code scheme, is computationally more
: efficient (particularly if only one or two flavors are required at
: each phase space point, as in PDF reweighting), and uses a flexible
: metadata system which fixes many fundamental metadata and concurrency
: bugs in LHAPDF5.
:
: Compatibility routines are provided as standard for existing C++ and
: Fortran codes using the LHAPDF5 and PDFLIB legacy interfaces, so you
: can keep using your existing codes. But the new interface is much more
: powerful and pleasant to work with, so we think you'll want to switch
: once you've used it!

: LHAPDF6 is documented in more detail in http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7420
