Run the resulting

prog.x

under MPICH. However, various problems will be encountered.

First, the MPICH installation will need to be built to include shared libraries and a soft link
would need to be created for

libmpich.so

, since their libraries might be named differently.

Next an appropriate

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

setting must be added manually since MPICH

expects the library path to be hard coded into the executable at link time by

-rpath

.

Finally, while the resulting executable would run over any supported system interconnect under
HP-MPI, it would not do this under MPICH due to not being linked against

libgm/libelan

.

Similar problems would be encountered if linking under MPICH and running under HP-MPI’s
MPICH compatibility. MPICH’s use of

-rpath

to hard code the library path at link time

would keep the executable from being able to find the HP-MPI MPICH compatibility library by
means of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting.

8.11 HP-MPI Documentation and Manpages

The HP MPI User’s Guide and HP-MPI Release Notices are available online in the following
locations:

In

/opt/hpmpi/doc

after you install the product

At

http://docs.hp.com

At

http://www.hp.com/go/mpi

On systems that have the Version 7 Intel compiler, documentation is installed by default
with the compiler at

/opt/intel/compiler70/docs

. On systems that have the

Version 8 Intel compiler, documentation is installed at

/opt/intel_cc_80/docs

or

/opt/intel_fc_80/docs

.

The HP-MPI manpages are located in the

MPI_ROOT/share/man/man1*

subdirectory, and

can be grouped into three categories: general, compilation, and run-time. There is one general
manpage,

MPI.1

, that is an overview describing general features of HP-MPI. The compilation

and run-time manpages are those that describe HP-MPI utilities.

Table 8-2 describes the three categories of manpages in the

man1*

subdirectory that comprise

manpages for HP-MPI utilities.
