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. --------------- Sequential 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. Though janus can do compiling, it is better to build it from sasn100 which has more complete building tools and runs faster. It is also anti-social to tie up janus with compiling. The HDF5 building requires the use of janus because one of steps is to execute a program to find out the run-time characteristics of the TFLOPS machine. Assuming you have already unpacked the HDF5 tar-file into the directory , follow the steps below: FROM SASN100, 1) cd 2) ./configure tflop 3) make H5detect FROM JANUS, 4) cd 5) make H5Tinit.c FROM SASN100, 6) make When everything is finished compiling and linking, you can run the tests by FROM JANUS, 7.1) Due to a bug, you must first remove the following line from the file test/Makefile before the next step. RUNTEST=$(LT_RUN) 7.2) make check 7.3) Sometimes the "make check" fails in the sub-directories of test or tools with a message as "print not found". This is due to the "make" of Janus thinking some binary code needs to be recompiled. The easiest way to fix it is FROM SASN100 cd /test # or cd /tools make clean; make # re-make all binary Once satisfied with the test results, you can install the software by FROM SASN100, 8) make install --------------- Parallel HDF5: --------------- The setup process for building the parallel version of the HDF5 library for the ASCI Red machine is very similar to the sequential version. Since TFLOPS does not support MPIO, we have prepared a shell-script file that configures with the appropriate MPI library. Assuming you have already unpacked the HDF5 tar-file into the directory , follow the steps below: FROM SASN100, 1) cd 2) sh bin/config_para_tflops.sh /* this is different from the sequential version */ 3) make H5detect FROM JANUS, 4) cd 5) make H5Tinit.c FROM SASN100, 6) make When everything is finished compiling and linking, FROM JANUS, 7.1) Due to a bug, you must first remove the following line from the file test/Makefile before the next step. RUNTEST=$(LT_RUN) 7.2) make check 7.3) Sometimes the "make check" fails in the sub-directories of test or tools with a message as "print not found". This is due to the "make" of Janus thinking some binary code needs to be recompiled. The easiest way to fix it is FROM SASN100 cd /test # or cd /tools make clean; make # re-make all binary Once satisfied with the parallel test results, as long as you have the correct permission, FROM SASN100, 8) make install
