Thanks a lot, I m implementing the passwordless cluster I m also tryin different benchmarking software n got fed up of all the probs in all de sofwares i try. will list few:
*1) VampirTrace* I extracted de tar in /vt then followed following steps *$ ./configure --prefix=/vti* [...lots of output...] *$ make all install* after this the FAQ on open-mpi.org asks to '*Simply replace the compiler wrappers to activate vampir trace*' but does not tell how do i replace the compiler wrappers. i try to run *mpicc-vt -c hello.c -o hello * but it gives a error *bash: mpicc-vt: command not found **2) HPL * for this i didnt undersatnd the installation steps. I extracted the tar in /hpl Then is asks to '*create a file Make.<arch> in the top-level directory*' i created a file Make.i386. then it says '*This file essentially contains the compilers and librairies with their paths to be used*' how do i put that? after that it asks to run command *make arch=i386 *but it gives error* **make[3]: Entering directory `/hpl' make -f Make.top startup_dir arch=i386 make[4]: Entering directory `/hpl' Make.top:161: warning: overriding commands for target `clean_arch_all' Make.i386:84: warning: ignoring old commands for target `clean_arch_all' include/i386 make[4]: include/i386: Command not found make[4]: [startup_dir] Error 127 (ignored) lib make[4]: lib: Command not found make[4]: [startup_dir] Error 127 (ignored) lib/i386 make[4]: lib/i386: Command not found make[4]: [startup_dir] Error 127 (ignored) bin make[4]: bin: Command not found make[4]: [startup_dir] Error 127 (ignored) bin/i386 make[4]: bin/i386: Command not found make[4]: [startup_dir] Error 127 (ignored) make[4]: Leaving directory `/hpl' make -f Make.top startup_src arch=i386 make[4]: Entering directory `/hpl' Make.top:161: warning: overriding commands for target `clean_arch_all' Make.i386:84: warning: ignoring old commands for target `clean_arch_all' make -f Make.top leaf le=src/auxil arch=i386 make[5]: Entering directory `/hpl' Make.top:161: warning: overriding commands for target `clean_arch_all' Make.i386:84: warning: ignoring old commands for target `clean_arch_all' ( src/auxil ; i386 ) /bin/sh: src/auxil: is a directory *then it enters shell prompt. Please help, is there a simpler Benchmarking software? i dont wanna give at this point :( * *
