bsparch(1)

NAME
bsparch - determine the machine architecture and communication device.

SYNOPSIS
bsparch [ -arch ] [ -device ] [ -nodefault ] [ -name ] [ -defdevice machine ] [ -convertname machine ] [ -convertdevice device ] [ -allarch ] [ -alldevice ] [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION
bsparch determines the machine specific installation options required to install the Oxford BSP toolset. Two factors guide the installation of the toolset: (1) the machine architecture and operating system release; and (2) the type of device used as the communication medium. The -arch option determines the machine architecture, and -device the relevant communication device.

To date, the tested architectures are:
SGICHALL64	Silicon Graphics Power Challenge (Irix 6.x)
SGIORIGIN       Silicon Graphics Origin 2000 (Irix 6.x)
SGI	Silicon Graphics workstation (Irix 5.x)
SP2	IBM SP2 running AIX
CRAYT3E	Cray T3E
CRAYT3D	Cray T3D
PARSYTEC	Parsytec Explorer
CONVEXSPP	Convex SPP
SunOS	SunOS 4.1.x
Solaris	SunOS 5.x
LINUX	PC based Unix
OSF1	Digital's alpha boxes
HITACHIMPP	Hitachi SR2001
The tested communication devices are shown below. It should be noted, that only a small subset of the cross-product of architectures and devices are valid builds of the toolset.
SHMEM_SYSV	System V shared memory
SHMEM_SGI	SGI specific shared memory operations
MPASS_TCPIP     TCP/IP based message passing
MPASS_MPI	MPI
MPASS_MPL	IBM's message passing system
MPASS_PARIX	Message passing on the Parsytec GC
MPASS_EXPRESS	Express (Parasoft Ltd) message passing
DRMA_SHMEM	Cray Shmem one-sided communications
The default device behaviour of bsparch(1) can be overridden by providing an environment variable BSP_DEVICE in the user's environment, whose value is the name of the desired device. You will have to override the default behaviour when installing bsplib(3) on top of MPI.
