Change in Documentation for the INSTALL process on the ASCI Red
Problem:
As part of the parallel HDF5 install process, upon compiling the
library and sequential testers, it is necessary to copy the testers
onto local disk prior to testing. This is almost done by steps 9-11)
...
9) cp -r ../hdf5 ../scratch
10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test
11) make test >&! test.out
After the copying to /scratch, when the "make test" is run,
dependencies are checked and it is determined that the executables
need to be rebuilt. Unfortunately, the MPI-IO libraries in
sasn100:/usr/community/mpi-io are not accessible on ASCI Red, so
that step #11 above gives an error.
Solution:
Albert Cheng and Robb Matzke suggested to add the "-p" option in
step #9, if available, to maintain the original modifications.
Those install steps were changed to:
...
9) cp -rp ../hdf5 ../scratch
10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test
11) make test >&! test.out
Everything works fine!
Platform tested:
janus - ASCI Red
sasn100 - TFLOPS Application server
Documentation (mostly)
Solution:
Parallel HDF5 support on Intel TFLOPS machine using PFS file system
and MPIO.
Platform tested:
Intel TFLOPS (ASCI Red)
Documentation
Problem:
The installation steps of the HDF5 library for the ASCI Red machine
must be split up between the ASCI Red machine itself and its support
machine.
Solution:
An installation list has been drawn-up which explicitly states which
machine is responsible for which step of the installation.
Platform tested:
ASCI Red Machine, TFLOPS Application server
