D Package Descriptions

The following sections contain detailed descriptions of the packages for the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics software. In this release, software may be installed in several ways. With the QLogicIB-Basic download, which uses the Installer tool, the package groupings are a bit different than those in the RPM-based downloads.

Package Names with the QLogicIB-Basic Download

The QLogic IB-Basic download has been packaged differently than the RPM download. Some but not all of the underlying packages are RPMs. The Installer tool groups the components in this way:

ib_stack, truescale, mvapich gcc qlc, mvapich_pgi_qlc, mvapich pathscale qlc, mvapich intel qlc, openmpi_gcc_qlc, openmpi pgi qlc, openmpi pathscale qlc, openmpi_intel_qlc,oftools, ib_stack dev, fastfabric, qlgc srp, qlgc vnic, qlgc_fm, ofed_ipoib, ofed sdp, ofed udapl, mvapich, mvapich2, openmpi, ofed_mpisrc, ofed rds, ofed srp, ofed srpt, ofed_iser, ofed_isert, ofed_iwarp, opensm, ofed debug

Once the Installer tool has begun the installation, for some packages, the underlying RPM names are displayed on the screen.

Different Nodes May Use Different RPMs

In a cluster environment, different nodes may be used for different functions, such as launching jobs, software development, or running jobs. These nodes are defined as follows:

„Front end node. This node launches jobs. It is referred to as the front end node throughout this document.

„Compute node. These nodes run jobs.

„Development or build node. These are the machines on which examples or benchmarks can be compiled.

Any machine can serve any combination of these three purposes, but a typical cluster has many compute nodes and just a few (or only one) front end nodes. The number of nodes used for development will vary.
