External Downloads

The entries below refer to software projects required by bcMPI which were not developed at OSC. Each gives a brief description including its relevance to bcMPI, a link to the project's home page, and links to the project's download files.

Note that ParaMake will determine which files are required by your configuration and attempt to download them automatically.

autoconf

Generates shell scripts that can be run on the target system to detect the build environment. Required by ParaMake (for historical reasons).

2.59

2.61

Latest version not yet tested.

automake

Generates Makefiles. Required by ParaMake.

1.9

1.9.6

Latest version not yet tested.

electric fence

Replacement for malloc and free, for debugging. Not required by default for any configurations.

2.1.13-0.1

fftw

A faster DFT implementation, optional for Octave. Home page.

3.1.2

gcc

The GNU Compiler Collection (C Compiler). Required by ParaMake, must be manually installed before using ParaMake.

If you are using MATLAB, check here to see if you need a version different than what's installed on your system.

libtool

Create shared libraries with a consistent, portable interface. Required by ParaMake.

1.5.6

1.5.22

Latest version not yet tested.

MATLAB

6.5

Unknown. (Installed on oscbw.)

7.0 (R14)

Unknown. (Installed on antares, oscbw.)

7.1 (R14SP3)

Tested with bcmpi-1.0, no longer tested or supported.

7.2 (2006a)

Unknown. (Installed on kodos, oscbw.)

7.3 (2006b)

Currently used for all bcMPI development at OSC (Installed on kodos, oscbw.) Requires bcmpi greater than 1.0 to workaround Type-ahead buffer over-flow bug.

mpich

An MPI implementation from Argonne National Laboratory. Only required for configurations where OpenMPI has not been made to work.

1.2.6

1.2.7p1

Latest version not yet tested.

mpich2

An MPI-2 implementation from Argonne National Laboratory. Note none of the new MPI-2 features would be used by bcMPI. Not currently used by any configurations.

mvapich

An MPI implementation supporting InfiniBand. Not currently used by any configurations.

mvapich-0.9.4.tgz

octave

An open source clone of MATLAB.

2.1.72

2.9.4

2.9.5

Was used with bcmpi-1.0, no longer tested or supported.

2.9.9

octave-forge

Optional toolboxes for Octave which make it more like MATLAB.

2006.03.17

2006.07.10

Latest version not yet tested.

Open MPI

An MPI-2 implementation supporting a variety of interconnects. Recommended for all configurations for which it can be made to work.

1.0.2

Was used with bcmpi-1.0, no longer tested or supported.

1.1.2

pMatlab

An implementation of distributed MATLAB arrays and operators, patched to work with bcMPI. Also contains sources and examples for MatlabMPI.

Optional for both interpreters to install MatlabMPI examples. Optional for MATLAB to install pMatlab.

1.0

Python

A dynamic object-oriented programming language. Required for ParaMake and run-time utilities (mpi_octave, mpi_matlab), must be manually installed before using ParaMake.

2.4 is likely to be required RSN...

Note: 2.3.x tempfile.py is not compatible with bcMPI-1.1. So, 2.4 tempfile.py is used to create temp files with names that are supported by Matlab.
