- Installation instructions for Parallel HDF5
- -------------------------------------------
-
-
-1. Overview
------------
-
-This file contains instructions for the installation of parallel
-HDF5. Platforms supported by this release are SGI Origin 2000, IBM SP2,
-Intel TFLOPs, and Linux version 2.4 and greater. The steps are kind of
-unnatural and will be more automized in the next release. If you have
-difficulties installing the software in your system, please send mail to
-
- hdfparallel@ncsa.uiuc.edu
-
-In your mail, please include the output of "uname -a". Also attach the
-content of "config.log" if you ran the "configure" command.
-
-First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as described in the
-INSTALL file. You also need to obtain the information of the include and
-library paths of MPI and MPIO software installed in your system since the
-parallel HDF5 library uses them for parallel I/O access.
-
-
-2. Quick Instruction for known systems
---------------------------------------
-
-The following shows particular steps to run the parallel HDF5
-configure for a few machines we've tested. If your particular platform
-is not shown or somehow the steps do not work for yours, please go
-to the next section for more detailed explanations.
-
-------
-TFLOPS
-------
-
-Follow the instuctions in INSTALL_TFLOPS.
-
--------
-IBM SP2
--------
-
-First of all, make sure your environment variables are set correctly
-to compile and execute a single process mpi applications for the SP2
-machine. They should be similar to the following:
-
- setenv CC mpcc_r
- setenv MP_PROCS 1
- setenv MP_NODES 1
- setenv MP_LABELIO no
- setenv MP_RMPOOL 0
- setenv RUNPARALLEL "MP_PROCS=2 MP_TASKS_PER_NODE=2 poe"
- setenv LLNL_COMPILE_SINGLE_THREADED TRUE
-
-The shared library configuration for this version is broken. So, only
-static library is supported.
-
-An error for powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0's (LLNL Blue) install method was
-discovered after the code freeze. You need to remove the following line
-from config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 before configuration:
-
- ac_cv_path_install=${ac_cv_path_install='cp -r'}
-
-Then do the following steps:
-
- $ ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=<install-directory>
- $ make # build the library
- $ make check # verify the correctness
- $ make install
-
-
----------------
-SGI Origin 2000

-
----------------------
-Linux 2.4 and greater
----------------------
-
-Be sure that your installation of MPICH was configured with the following
-configuration command-line option:
-
- -cflags="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
-
-This allows for >2GB sized files on Linux systems and is only available
-with Linux kernels 2.4 and greater.

-HP V2500 and N4000
-------------------
-
-Follow the instructions in section 3.
-
-
-3. Detail explanation
----------------------
-
-The HDF5 library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for parallelism
-on a distributed multi-processor system. The easiest way to do this is to
-have a properly installed parallel compiler (e.g., MPICH's mpicc or IBM's
-mpcc) and supply that executable as the value of the CC environment
-variable:
-
- $ CC=mpcc ./configure
- $ CC=/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpicc ./configure
-
-If no such wrapper script is available then you must specify your normal
-C compiler along with the distribution of MPI/MPI-IO which is to be used
-(values other than `mpich' will be added at a later date):
-
- $ ./configure --enable-parallel=mpich
-
-If the MPI/MPI-IO include files and/or libraries cannot be found by the
-compiler then their directories must be given as arguments to CPPFLAGS
-and/or LDFLAGS:
-
- $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/mpi/include \
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/mpi/lib/LINUX/ch_p4 \
- ./configure --enable-parallel=mpich
-
-If a parallel library is being built then configure attempts to determine
-how to run a parallel application on one processor and on many
-processors. If the compiler is `mpicc' and the user hasn't specified
-values for RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL then configure chooses `mpirun' from
-the same directory as `mpicc':
-
- RUNSERIAL: /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1
- RUNPARALLEL: /usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np $${NPROCS:=3}
-
-The `$${NPROCS:=3}' will be substituted with the value of the NPROCS
-environment variable at the time `make check' is run (or the value 3).
