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, and the Intel TFLOP. 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 enclose the output of "uname -a". Also attach the
|
|
content of "config.log" if you have run the "configure" command.
|
|
|
|
First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as
|
|
described in the file INSTALL. 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 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 detail explanations.
|
|
|
|
IBM SP2: follow the instructions in bin/config_para_ibm_sp.sh.
|
|
|
|
TFLOPS: follow the instuctions in INSTALL_TFLOPS.
|
|
|
|
SGI Origin 2000:
|
|
Cray T3E:
|
|
(where MPI-IO is part of system MPI library such as mpt 1.3)
|

3. Detail explanation
|
|
---------------------
|
|
The HDF5 library can be configured to use MPI and MPI-IO for
|
|
parallelizm on a distributed multi-processor system. The easy
|
|
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 $${NPROCS:=2}
|
|
|
|
The `$${NPROCS:=2}' will be substituted with the value of the
|
|
NPROCS environment variable at the time `make check' is run
|
|
(or the value 2).
