Cluster Tools

How to Build a Cluster - Intel® Server Board S5000PAL

The Z RESEARCH* GlusterHPC* Installation - Intel® Server Board S3000AH recipe for this platform can be found on the ESAA website:

Once the cluster has been deployed, there are several tool suites that can be used to verify functionality and tune performance. Included in the Platform* OCS* installation is the Intel® MPI Library 2.0.1runtime environment. Additionally, the Intel® Tools suite version 4.1.9 can be installed during the Platform OCS 4.1.1-1.1/4.1.1-2.1 install as well as post install." It may be downloaded from the link below:

To install the Intel® Tools 4.1.9. Roll, use the Platform* OCS* installation instructions detailing how to install additional rolls. Intel® Tools suite 4.1.9 includes Intel Compilers, however to compile applications installing licenses is required. (If the licenses are not installed, the compiling functionality of the Intel Compilers will not be available; however a runtime environment will still be available.)

The licenses can be installed with the following steps. Perform the following as root prior to rolling any compute nodes:

1)Copy license files to be used on the Front End to: /opt/intel/licenses

2)Create the directory: /export/apps/intel/licenses

3)Copy license files to be used on the compute nodes to: /export/apps/intel/licenses

4)Create a script called intel_license.sh. The script should be:

#!/bin/sh

rm -rf /opt/intel/licenses

ln -s /share/apps/intel/licenses /opt/intel/licenses

5)Use rocks-compute to add the script to the post-install

# rocks-compute -s intel_license.sh -b
