CCAFFEINE 0.2 c++ release notes and BUILD Instructions: BUILD: You will need (or probably want): - mpi, blas (ESI, data components) - pvm, Cumulvs (viz component, Mx1 component) You must have: - gmake - ANSI c compiler, ISO C++ 3 compiler - java2 (jdk1.2.2 for linux) - a copy of cca-spec01 % cd dccafe/ (cd ../ from here: cxx/) % ./configure Edit Makefile.conf.dl as needed. % cd cxx/ % make depend % make % cd dc/user_iface % cp CcaffeineRC ~/.ccaferc % # assuming dccafe is checked out into ~/ % setenv CCA_COMPONENT_PATH $HOME/dccafe/cxx/dc/component % ./demo This gets you the serial (np=1) commandline framework cca> ? (for help) cca> path init cca> pallet You get the idea. 'help ' will tell you about a particular command. Notes-- 6/6/2000: INTRO DOCUMENTS: For an overall view, see dccafe/designUI.html, which is a very informal work in progress. MAKING COMPONENTS: CCAFFEINE attempts to provide core HPC libraries (BLAS/LAPACK/MPI/PVM) which are not currently available as dynamically loadable components. Examples of simple DL components can be found in dccafe/cxx/dc/component (note the Makefile and gen* scripts) and aids to building them in dccafe/Makefile.dl. Contact Ben with additional questions in this area and for access to ESI-based examples. TECH SUPPORT: Alpha users (that's pre-beta, not a hardware class) may contact the authors after carefully perusing the Makefile.conf.dl and attempting to make modifications to suit their site build. The preferred contact method is email to Rob and Ben or telephone them. Be prepared to donate them access to your machine if you telephone. The authors take questions and complaints at ccafe-help@z.ca.sandia.gov RFC: CCAFFEINE is a prototype in the very, very worst sense of the word. We solicit input (and particularly examples of a better way to do it) on every aspect of the code. We solicit volunteers to implement well-defined improvements. The authors take suggestions at ccafe-help@z.ca.sandia.gov
