From 95d86b38c592f18447159d3d7d550469c509e66c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Albert Cheng Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 16:54:57 -0500 Subject: [svn-r5237] Purpose: Updated the installation instruction for the Tflops machine. Moved the parallel HDF5 building instructions to the front and putting in a NOTE that the sequential version is not supported any more because it has little practical value to build sequential applications for the Tflops machine. --- release_docs/INSTALL_TFLOPS | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/release_docs/INSTALL_TFLOPS b/release_docs/INSTALL_TFLOPS index b3e8421..cf8ab1e 100644 --- a/release_docs/INSTALL_TFLOPS +++ b/release_docs/INSTALL_TFLOPS @@ -1,36 +1,32 @@ - FOR THE INTEL TFLOPS MACHINE: Below are the step-by-step procedures for building, testing, and -installing both the sequential and parallel versions of the HDF5 library. +installing the parallel and sequential versions of the HDF5 library. ----------------- Software locations ------------------ The zlib compression library is installed in /usr/community/hdf5/ZLIB. -The mpich library, including mpi-io support, is in -/usr/community/mpich/mpich-1.2.1. +The latest version is zlib v1.1.3. +The mpich library, including mpi-io support, is in /usr/community/mpich/. +The latest version used is mpich-1.2.3. --------------- -Sequential HDF5: +Parallel HDF5: --------------- -The setup process for building the sequential HDF5 library for the -ASCI Red machine is done by a coordination of events from sasn100 and -janus.
