HP XC System 2.x Software manual HP-MPI Documentation and Manpages, At http//docs.hp.com

Run the resulting prog.x under MPICH. However, various problems will be encountered. First, the MPICH installation will need to be built to include shared libraries and a soft link would need to be created for libmpich.so, since their libraries might be named differently.

Next an appropriate LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting must be added manually since MPICH expects the library path to be hard coded into the executable at link time by -rpath.

Finally, while the resulting executable would run over any supported system interconnect under HP-MPI, it would not do this under MPICH due to not being linked against libgm/libelan.

Similar problems would be encountered if linking under MPICH and running under HP-MPI’s MPICH compatibility. MPICH’s use of -rpathto hard code the library path at link time would keep the executable from being able to find the HP-MPI MPICH compatibility library by means of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting.

8.11 HP-MPI Documentation and Manpages

The HP MPI User’s Guide and HP-MPI Release Notices are available online in the following locations:

•In /opt/hpmpi/doc after you install the product

•At http://docs.hp.com

•At http://www.hp.com/go/mpi

On systems that have the Version 7 Intel compiler, documentation is installed by default with the compiler at /opt/intel/compiler70/docs. On systems that have the Version 8 Intel compiler, documentation is installed at /opt/intel_cc_80/docs or

/opt/intel_fc_80/docs.

The HP-MPI manpages are located in the MPI_ROOT/share/man/man1* subdirectory, and can be grouped into three categories: general, compilation, and run-time. There is one general manpage, MPI.1, that is an overview describing general features of HP-MPI. The compilation and run-time manpages are those that describe HP-MPI utilities.

Table 8-2 describes the three categories of manpages in the man1* subdirectory that comprise manpages for HP-MPI utilities.
