1.6 Components, Tools, Compilers, Libraries, and Debuggers

This section provides a brief overview of the some of the common tools, compilers, libraries, and debuggers available for use on HP XC.

An HP XC system is integrated with several open source software components. HP XC incorporates a Linux operating system and its standard commands and tools, and maintains the Linux ABI. In addition, HP XC incorporates LSF and SLURM to launch and manage jobs, and includes HP-MPIfor high-performance, parallel, message-passing applications.

You can use most standard open source compilers and tools on an HP XC system; however, you must purchase them separately. Several open source and commercially available software packages have been tested with the HP XC Software. The following lists some of the software packages that have been tested for use with HP XC. This list provides a sample of what is available on HP XC and is not intended as a complete list. Some packages listed are actually included as part of the HPC Linux distribution and as such can be used as part of the HP XC development environment. The tested software packages include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Intel Fortran 95, C, C++ Compiler Version 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 9.1 including OpenMP, for Itanium® (includes ldb debugger)

•gcc version 3.2.3 (included in the HP XC distribution)•g77 version 3.2.3 (included in the HP XC distribution)•Portland Group PGI Fortran90, C, C++ Version 5.1, including OpenMP, for CP4000

•Quadrics SHMEM, as part of QsNet II user libraries, on Itanium systems connected with the Quadrics QsNet II switch (included in the HP XC distribution)

•Etnus TotalView debugger Version 6.4•gdb (part of the HP XC Linux distribution)•Intel MKL V6.1 on Itanium•AMD Math Core Library Version 2.0 on CP4000•valgrind 2.0.0 (http://valgrind.kde.org) in 32-bit mode only•oprofile 0.7.1 (http://oprofile.sourceforge.net)•PAPI 3.2 (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/papi)

•Intel Visual Analyzer/Tracer (formally Pallas Vampir and Vampirtrace performance analyzer ) on Itanium

•GNU make, including distributed parallel make (included in the HP XC distribution)

Other standard tools and libraries are available, and you can most likely used them on HP XC as you would on any other standard Linux system.

IMPORTANT: Software that is not described in the HP XC QuickSpecs or in the HP XC documentation set has not been tested with the HP XC System Software. HP does not warrant the operation of any software that is not specifically identified in the product specification (the HP XC QuickSpecs) and is not documented in the HP XC documentation set.
