Hi All I am a total novice to the MPI world, so please forgive me if any of my questions/comments sound stupid.
First, a few *possible* bugfixes: When I downloaded openMPI and tried to compile it for our MIPS64 platform, it broke at 3 places. 1. The configure script in the root directory did not have a case for MIPS64. That is fixed in the attached patch.configure patch file. 2. The Makefile.am in opal/asm/ directory is incorrect. It creates a platform-dependent file called atomic-asm.s that has #include's in it. According to gcc manual, .s assembly files are NOT preprocessed and hence none of the macros in the atomic-asm.s file were expanded. Note that it works fine for IA32 platforms because that version of atomic-asm.s file does not have macros in it. The patch.Makefile.am fixes this. Note that you need to rerun automake after patching this file. 3. I don't remember the third place it broke right now. I can give out a third patch later. Now the question is: Is there a benchmark program I can run for the openMPI suite of library? I tried NetPipe from Ameslab.gov. It seems to run, but it terminates without producing any output, either to the console or to any file. I tried specifying the output file explicitly with the -o option, but to no avail. Any help is deeply appreciated. Thanks Durga N.B. I noticed from the mailing list archive that there are other people in this mailing list who are interested in the MIPS64 architecture. I would especially love hearing from them in off-line conversations. -- Devil wanted omnipresence; He therefore created communists.
