hdf5/INSTALL.ascired

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.  Special effort must be made to move the compiled and linked
testers to disks local to the processors for execution.  This special
effort is shown here at steps 9) and steps 10).

The total required steps are something similar to:
FROM SASN100,

1) uncompress hdf5-1.0.0a.tar.Z

2) tar xvf hdf5-1.0.0a.tar

3) cd ./hdf5

4) ./configure tflop

5) make H5detect


FROM JANUS, 

6) cd ./hdf5

7) make H5Tinit.c


FROM SASN100,

8) make >&! comp.out &


When everything is finished compiling and linking,
FROM JANUS, 

9) cp -r ../hdf5 /scratch

10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test

11) make test >&! test.out


Once satisfied with the test results, as long as you 
have the correct permission,
FROM SASN100,

12) 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.  It is done by a
coordination of events from sasn100 and janus.  Special effort must be made to
move the compiled and linked single processor testers to disks local to the
processor for execution.  This special effort is shown here at steps 9) and
steps 10).  Following these test, there are the edit, compile, link, and
execution of parallel tests described in steps 12) through 16).


The total required steps are something similar to:
FROM SASN100,

1) uncompress hdf5-1.0.0a.tar.Z

2) tar xvf hdf5-1.0.0a.tar

3) cd ./hdf5

4) sh INSTALL_parallel.ascired   /* this is different from the sequential version */

5) make H5detect


FROM JANUS, 

6) cd ./hdf5

7) make H5Tinit.c


FROM SASN100,

8) make >&! comp.out &


When everything is finished compiling and linking,
FROM JANUS, 

9) cp -rp ../hdf5 /scratch

10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test

11) make test >&! test.out


Once satisfied with the single processor test results, 
FROM SASN100,

12) cd testpar

13) /* edit testphdf5.c, edit the following line */
    char    *filenames[]={ "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/your_own/Eg1.h5f", "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/your_own/Eg2.h5f" };

    /* change "your_own" to your own directory name */
    char    *filenames[]={ "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/my_name/Eg1.h5f", "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/my_name/Eg2.h5f" };

    /* delete or comment-out the next line */
    char    *filenames[]={ "ParaEg1.h5f", "ParaEg2.h5f" };

14) make -f Makefile.ascired

When everything is finished compiling and linking,
FROM JANUS, 

15) cd ./hdf5/testpar

16) make test -f Makefile.ascired >&! test.out


Once satisfied with the parallel test results, as long as you 
have the correct permission,
FROM SASN100,

17) make install
