Setup for PTP SC12 remote targets for tutorial

Sample app: shallow

• from cvs.ncsa.uiuc.edu, repository path: CVS/ptp-samples; open HEAD, open sample, 'Check out as...' on shallow

Client: use new almost-6.0.3 builds

• Install NCSA GSI Authentication plugin from http://forecaster.ncsa.uiuc.edu/updates/juno

For each system we need to document 1. toolchain recommended and/or documented 2. include files - location for setup using UNC notation //connection-name/path/to/include/files 3. resource manager(s) to use 4. what perf tools from the tutorial work there, and 5. anything else we need to know to use system

SDSC Trestles

Update PTP from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/builds/juno/nightly to get new Trestles target configuration

1. toolchain - i have tried LinuxGCC and Remote LinuxGCC. Either will build ok. Remote LinuxGCC puts a bunch of (non-unc) paths in 'Paths and symbols' but hyperlink nav still doesn't work
2. include files - guess: i see /usr/include/stdio.h and since 'which mpicc' returns /home/diag/opt/openmpi which lead me to /home/diag/opt/openmpi/1.4.3/gnu/include
   • which means i would need to set two paths in "Paths and Symbols" of
     • //trestles/usr/include/stdio.h --and-- //trestles/home/diag.opt/openmpi/1.4.3/gnu/include
     • but hyperlink nav in editor still doesn't work
3. Resource manager -
   • Run - edu.sdsc.trestles.torque.batch - new contributed resource manager in the latest PTP builds
     • Other config details: Queue: shared; Number of nodes: 1:ppn=5; MPI command: mpirun; MPI Number of cores: 4
   • Debug -
4. What works here? GEM? LinuxTools?
   • TAU not installed. PAPI not available

I am using a shell via MyProxy/GSI Auth in the NCSA plugin (per instructions in ptp-07-ncsa.ppt)

1. toolchain
2. include files
3. Resource manager
   • Run -

4. What works here? GEM? LinuxTools?
   • TAU is installed and works correctly

VirtualBox torque by Dennis

Download and setup info (Summary: Download VirtualBox, download torque-vm.zip, install VirtualBox and the torque VM, launch it and login with userid ptp and password ptp)

1. toolchain - i have tried Linux GCC. builds ok.
2. include files - stdio.h is in /usr/include and mpi.h is in /usr/local/include
3. Res Managers
   • Run - torque-generic-batch, queue: batch; num of nodes: 1; MPI command: mpirun; MPI num of tasks: 5
   • Debug -
4. What works here? GEM? LinuxTools?
   • TAU not installed. Local test install had unusual issues.
5. Other - OpenMPI 1.4.2 is installed
