[hpcdev-discuss] Open64 port HelloWorld works!

2009-03-16 Thread Rayson Ho
Open64 can finally compile HelloWorld at -ipa. There are still a few steps that need to be done "by hand", including hand modifying the makefile in the final make phrase. And Solaris' make does not like the ".IGNORE" directive in the makefile, so it's likely that we will require the user to instal

[hpcdev-discuss] Cell Processing and (Open)Solaris

2009-03-12 Thread Rayson Ho
Currently there are 2 ways to "run" cell: First way is to run cell as a CPU -- the OS runs on the PPEs and the tasks (similar to threads) runs on the SPEs. Note that there are lots of limitations on what the tasks can do, and also note that the tasks do not have the ability to directly address the

Jian-Xin: Is there anything modified in "ld-new"?? How is it different from the GNU linker?? I assume the object files with IPA information (WHIRL sections?) need special treatment... but I am hoping that we can workaround the issues and use the system linker to reduce maintenance effort... Chr

Hi John, The "thousands of source files" I was talking about were mostly related to missing header files on Solaris or different locations of the system header files. I did a gmake -i >& /tmp/error.txt but I haven't gone through the error messages yet. However, one of the missing files was endian

The CFS (now Sun) guys are working on the port. And as an added benefit, Lustre will be integrated with ZFS -- so you will get all the ZFS cool features no matter you use Linux or Solaris!! http://arch.lustre.org/index.php?title=Feature_Lustre_ZFS Rayson On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 9:30 PM, Harsha

[hpcdev-discuss] compiling OpenMPI with sunstudio on solaris

Sun ClusterTools includes OpenMPI, and it is for Solaris (but it also supports Linux)... so it shouldn't be hard to compile OpenMPI on Solaris! According to this blog entry, ClusterTools 8.0 packages Open MPI 1.3: http://blogs.sun.com/analyzethis/entry/hpc_developers_sun_hpc_clustertools Rayson

Wondering if anyone played with both projects?? http://opensolaris.org/os/project/hpc-stack/ http://opensolaris.org/os/project/livehadoop/ Hadoop/MapReduce can solve some HPC problems quite well, and Grid Engine can be used as the job scheduler. IMO it should be included in the Hadoop Live CD! h
