FOR THE INTEL TFLOPS MACHINE:
Below are the step-by-step procedures for building, testing, and
installing the parallel and sequential versions of the HDF5 library.
-----------------
Software locations
------------------
The zlib compression library is installed in /usr/community/hdf5/ZLIB.
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.
---------------
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 <hdf5>, follow the steps below:
FROM SASN100,
1) cd <hdf5>
2) CC=/usr/community/mpich/mpich-1.2.3/bin/mpicc \
./configure --host=i386-intel-osf1 --with-zlib=/usr/community/hdf5/ZLIB
Skip the "--with-zlib=..." option if you do not wish to include the zlib
compression feature. Without the zlib compression feature, the library
will not be able to access zlib compressed datasets.
You may safely ignore the WARNING message,
=========
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
=========
You may add the option "--build=i386-intel-osf1" to get rid of the WARNING.
(The previous bugs in src/Makefile and test/Makefile have been resolved.
You don't need to edit them any more.)
3) make H5detect
FROM JANUS,
4) cd <hdf5>
5) make H5Tinit.c
FROM SASN100,
6) make
When everything is finished compiling and linking,
FROM JANUS,
7) make check
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 <hdf5>/test # or cd <hdf5>/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
---------------
Sequential HDF5:
---------------
(**NOTE** We have stopped testing sequential HDF5 for the Tflops machine
since it has little practical value to build sequential applications for
the Tflops machine. The instruction below are kept more for historical
purpose.)
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 <hdf5>, follow the steps below:
FROM SASN100,
1) cd <hdf5>
2) ./configure --host=i386-intel-osf1 --with-zlib=/usr/community/hdf5/ZLIB
Skip the "--with-zlib=..." option if you do not wish to include the zlib
compression feature. Without the zlib compression feature, the library
will not be able to access zlib compressed datasets.
You may safely ignore the WARNING message,
=========
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
=========
You may add the option "--build=i386-intel-osf1" to get rid of the WARNING.
(The previous bugs in src/Makefile and test/Makefile have been resolved.
You don't need to edit them any more.)
3) make H5detect
FROM JANUS,
4) cd <hdf5>
5) make H5Tinit.c
FROM SASN100,
6) make
When everything is finished compiling and linking,
you can run the tests by
FROM JANUS,
7) make check
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 <hdf5>/test # or cd <hdf5>/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
