Post subject: MPICH2 (Installation, configuration and usage)Hi, I could not find any good tutorial about installing, configuring and using MPICH2 on Debian platform. Argonne National Lab tutorials are not for beginners. I think those are for experience users. Tutorial on the site: http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debian-howto/mpi.html Please let me know if some one has some clues. Thanks Bookmark/Search this post with:

Uhm... MPI is not for
Uhm... MPI is not for beginners at all - very far from it. If you're not experienced enough with administering systems, you will not get any benefits whatsoever from MPI. But if you really want to use it, I'd suggest using 'Google' to find more information. Also Linux Format had a short article on using MPI a few years ago. There is probably a "how to set up and configure MPI" document on TLDP.org: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Scientific-Computing-with-GNU-Linux/systems.html
I can't suggest anything else since I have no idea what you want to do. Do you want to set up the libraries and tools on a computer which you will connect to a cluster, are you setting up a cluster, are you using a single multiprocessor machine, are you just playing with it and want to set it up on two computers, or do you just want files on a single computer so you can compile and debug programs at home?
please help
Hi pinniped,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to use MPICH to make a Linux cluster.
I am new to the Linux world. However, I am learning at a rapid rate. I had no idea about Linux about 7 weeks ago. Now I have made a LAN using Debian. I learned about so many things, including Firewall, TCP wrappers, NIS and NFS.
Next thing is MPI.
My objective is to make a Beowulf cluster.
I have to run several processors in parallel.
Please let me know any good sources of information.
I appreciate your help.
If you follow the link in
If you follow the link in the previous post you will see links to other groups etc. Also check the official Debian website for a link to the Debian Beowulf group. MPI also relies on people designing their programs to use MPI - there are many software sets from the academic world which are available at no cost and use MPI; you can compile one or two to test things after you set up although it may take you 2 weeks to 2 months to set up one of these sets of software. I don't know if there are simple MPI test suites out there.
