Parameter measure with mpiblib

Installation

Required software:

1. any C/C++ and MPI (MPICH-1 does not support shared libraries)
2. GSL (GNU Scientific Library)
3. Boost (The Boost C++ libraries: Graph)

Optional software:

4. Gnuplot (An Interactive Plotting Program): for performance diagrams.
5. Graphviz (Graph Visualization Software: dot): for tree visualization.

---

1. GSL

(example for gsl-2.7.1): Default installing:

$ cd gsl-2.7.1

$ ./configure

$ make

$ sudo make install

Otherwise, if GSL is installed in a non-default directory:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. Boost

$ ./bootstrap.sh

$ ./b2

Previous should be sufficient for mpiblib. In case installation fails, try the following:

1. Boost should be configured with at least the Graph library (default: all)

$ ./configure --prefix=DIR --with-libraries=graph

2. Default installation:

• DIR/include/boost_version/boost
• DIR/lib/libboost_library_versions.*

Create symbolic links:

$ cd DIR/include; ln -s boost_version/boost

$ cd DIR/lib; ln -s libboost_[library]_[version].[a/so] libboost_[library].[a/so]

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For users

Download the latest package from http://hcl.ucd.ie/project/mpiblib

$ tar -zxvf mpiblib-X.X.X.tar.gz

$ cd mpiblib-X.X.X

$ ./configure

$ make all install

Configuration

Packages: --with-gsl-dir=DIR GNU Scientific Library directory --with-boost-dir=DIR The Boost C++ libraries directory

Check configure options:

$ ./configure -h

For developers:

Required software:

1. Subversion
2. GNU autotools
3. Doxygen, Graphviz and any TeX - optional (for reference manual)

$ svn co https://hcl.ucd.ie/repos/CPM/trunk/MPIBlib

$ cd MPIBlib

$ autoreconf -i

$ ./configure --enable-debug

$ make all

Patching:

This repository constains a patch for MPIBlib tool developed by Vladimir Rychkov, Alexey Lastovetsky and Kiril Dichev. To apply this patch download original mpiblib 1.2.0 version from https://hcl.ucd.ie/project/mpiblib. After that, include this patch file into mpiblib folder and use the patch command to apply the patch.

Instructions:

$ cp -r ~/mpiblib_taulop.patch ~/mpiblib-1.2.0

$ cd ~/mpiblib-1.2.0

$ patch -p1 < mpiblib_taulop.patch

Now we can proceed with the next steps.

How to use:

Go to your prefix location binary path, and then run:

$ mpirun -n 2 p2p -m 2 -M 500000

Where -n are number of processes, p2p is the binary created, -m is the minimun message size and -M is the maximum. You can configure stride between message with -s
