— however, it manages the global MPI exchange so that all processes can communicate with

1.6 Components, Tools, Compilers, Libraries, and Debuggers
This section provides a brief overview of the some of the common tools, compilers, libraries, and
debuggers available for use on HP XC.
An HP XC system is integrated with several open source software components. HP XC
incorporates a Linux operating system and its standard commands and tools, and maintains the
Linux ABI. In addition, HP XC incorporates LSF-HPC and SLURM to launch and manage jobs,
and includes HP-
for high-performance, parallel, message-passing applications.
You can use most standard open source compilers and tools on an HP XC system; however, you
must purchase them separately. Several open source and commercially available software
packages have been tested with the HP XC Software. The following lists some of the software
packages that have been tested for use with HP XC. This list provides a sample of what is available
on HP XC and is not intended as a complete list. Some packages listed are actually included as
part of the HPC Linux distribution and as such can be used as part of the HP XC development
environment. The tested software packages include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
Intel Fortran 95, C, C++ Compiler Version 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 9.1 including OpenMP, for Itanium®
(includes ldb debugger)
•
gcc version 3.2.3 (included in the HP XC distribution)
•
g77 version 3.2.3 (included in the HP XC distribution)
•
Portland Group PGI Fortran90, C, C++ Version 5.1, including OpenMP, for CP4000
•
Quadrics SHMEM, as part of QsNet II user libraries, on Itanium systems connected with
the Quadrics QsNet II switch (included in the HP XC distribution)
•
Etnus TotalView debugger Version 6.4
•
gdb (part of the HP XC Linux distribution)
•
Intel MKL V6.1 on Itanium
•
AMD Math Core Library Version 2.0 on CP4000
•
valgrind 2.0.0 (http://valgrind.kde.org) in 32-bit mode only
•
oprofile 0.7.1 (http://oprofile.sourceforge.net)
•
PAPI 3.2 (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/papi)
•
Intel Visual Analyzer/Tracer (formally Pallas Vampir and Vampirtrace performance analyzer
) on Itanium
•
GNU make, including distributed parallel make (included in the HP XC distribution)
Other standard tools and libraries are available, and you can most likely used them on HP XC
as you would on any other standard Linux system.
IMPORTANT:
Software that is not described in the HP XC QuickSpecs or in the HP XC
documentation set has not been tested with the HP XC System Software. HP does not warrant
the operation of any software that is not specifically identified in the product specification (the
HP XC QuickSpecs) and is not documented in the HP XC documentation set.
