1) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2) ORIGINAL README
--------------------
1) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The makefile included derives all the info it needs for building the code
from running mpic++, so make sure that mpicc is in your path before running Octave
or type
putenv ("PATH", "/path/to/mpic++:${PATH}")
from within Octave.
Once this is done you should be able to install openmpi_ext from a locally dowloaded tarball
by doing:
pkg install mpi-<version>.tar.gz
or directly from the ftp server by doing
pkg install -forge mpi
2) ORIGINAL README
Below are the contents of the original README file included with the first release
by R. Corradini, I am not sure all the info there still make sense but they are still
reported here, just in case ...
The code is general-purpose, but I would like to use it for econometrics.
So the first step will be to install the following tarball from
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.3/downloads/openmpi-1.3.3.tar.bz2
possibly in a multi-core computer to run my simple examples
and configure it for instance in the following way (/home/user is your $HOME)
./configure --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default --enable-heterogeneous --prefix=/home/user/openmpi-1.3.3/ --enable-static
and modify .bashrc in your home
OMPIBIN=`$ompi_info -path bindir -parsable | cut -d: -f3`
OMPILIB=`$ompi_info -path libdir -parsable | cut -d: -f3`
OMPISCD=`$ompi_info -path sysconfdir -parsable | cut -d: -f3`
export PATH=$OMPIBIN:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:$OMPILIB:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset ompi_info OMPIBIN OMPILIB OMPISCD
If you want to install it on a simple toy network, just assign a static ip address on every linux computer and set up
an ssh connection with no password (see for instance http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html ) and then install openmpi and octave always with the same versions and with the same info on .bashrc for the same user.
After this type in a terminal mpiCC --showme
In my case I will have something like
g++ -I/home/user/openmpi-1.3.3/include -pthread -L/home/user/openmpi-1.3.3/lib -lmpi_cxx -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl -Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil -lm -ldl
This will be useful for mkoctfile
for instance for MPI_Init.cc we shall have
mkoctfile -I/home/user/openmpi-1.3.3/include -lpthread -L/home/user/openmpi-1.3.3/lib -lmpi_cxx -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl -lnsl -lutil -lm -ldl MPI_Init.cc
The m files just contain some very simple examples
More complex examples will be provided in the next future.
See also
http://static.msi.umn.edu/tutorial/scicomp/general/MPI/content6.html
to understand the logic of MPI Derived Datatypes and how could they be easily handled by openmpi_ext package.
Bests regards
Riccardo Corradini
