 \subsection{Introduction}
 
+The exch2 package is an extension to the original cubed sphere exchanges
+to allow more flexible domain decomposition and parallelization.  Cube faces
+(subdomain) may be divided into whatever number of tiles that divide evenly
+into the grid point dimensions of the subdomain.  Furthermore, the individual
+tiles may be run on different processors in any combination, (tone this down 
+a bit), and whether exchanges between particular tiles occur between different
+processors is decided at runtime.
