Some explanations on the MPI implementation of a subset of NPB 3.3 (NPB3.3-MPI) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NPB-MPI is a sample MPI implementation based on NPB2.4 and NPB3.0-SER. This subset contains three of the original benchmarks: one in Fortran: EP; one in C: IS, as well as the DT benchmark, written in C, introduced in NPB3.2-MPI. 1. Compilation Before compilation, one needs to check the configuration file 'make.def' in the config directory and modify the file if necessary. make NPROCS= CLASS= \ [SUBTYPE=] [VERSION=VEC] where is "dt", "ep", or "is", is the number of processes is "S", "W", "A", "B", "C", "D", or "E" Class E is not available for IS and DT. Class D for IS (Integer Sort) requires a compiler/system that supports the "long" type in C to be 64-bit. 2. Execution The executable is named .. The executable is placed in the bin subdirectory (or in the directory BINDIR specified in make.def, if you've defined it). The method for running the MPI program depends on your local system.
