The default location to install ParaStation MPI is
/opt/parastation
. Underneath this directory,
several subdirectories are created containing the actual ParaStation MPI
installation:
bin
contains all executables and scripts forming the ParaStation MPI system.
This directory could be included into the
PATH
environment variable for easy access to the ParaStation MPI
administration tools.
config
contains the example configuration
file parastation.conf.tmpl
.
Depending on the communication part of the ParaStation MPI system installed, more scripts and configuration files may be found within this directory.
doc
contains the ParaStation MPI documentation after installing the corresponding RPM file. The necessary steps are described in the section called “Installing the documentation”.
include
contains the header files needed in order to build ParaStation MPI applications. These files are primarily needed for building applications using the low level PSPort or PSE libraries.
These header files are not needed, if only MPI applications should be build or precompiled third party applications are used.
lib
and lib64
contains various libraries needed in order to build and/or run applications using ParaStation MPI and the ParaStation MPI libraries.
man
contains the manual pages describing the ParaStation MPI daemons, utilities and configuration files after installing the documentation package. The necessary steps are described in the section called “Installing the documentation”.
In order to enable the users to access these pages using the man(1) command, please consult the corresponding documentation [1].
mpi2, mpi2-intel, mpi2-pgi
contains an adapted version of MPIch2 after
installing one of the various psmpi2
RPM
files.
The necessary steps are described in the section called “Installing MPI”.
Especially the sub-directories
mpi2/bin
,
mpi2-intel/bin
, etc, contain all
the commands to run (mpiexec) and
compile (mpicc,
mpif90, ...) parallel tasks.
All ParaStation specific kernel modules are
located within the directory
/lib/modules/
.
kernel release
/kernel/drivers/net/ps4
[1]
Usually this is either done by modifying the
MANPATH
environment variable or by editing
the manpath(1) configuration file,
which is /etc/manpath.config
by
default.
