Message Passing Yorick package for Debian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This package is built against the MPICH2 implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). A test script is provided in /usr/share/doc/yorick-mpy-common/examples/. To run it, you must first start the mpd daemon. After having created a mpd.conf file (see man mpd), run mpd& Then copy, unzip and run the script: cp /usr/share/doc/yorick-mpy-common/examples/testmp.i.gz ./ gunzip testmp.i.gz mpirun -np 4 mpy.mpich2 -j testmp.i Then, at the mpy command prompt: > testmp > quit You can test with other values of the -np parameter above, see man mpirun. See the yorick and mpy manpages for more details. -- Thibaut Paumard , Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:22:52 +0100
