What libraries are available on Cplant?
The libraries which will be supported on Cplant are o libc.a o libm.a o libdxml.a (DEC Extended math library) o libmpi.a • Can I use sockets from within an application? Sockets are not currently supported from within a compute node application. Currently the only way to get data from the compute partition to the outside world is through the file system. In the near future, compute node applications will have the ability to communicate with the service partition (and other compute node applications) through an MPI-2 interface. Once this happens, it will be possible to have a service node application receive messages from the compute node application and funnel these messages off of the machine through TCP/IP. In the distant future, there will be a network partition which will also provide this capability, although its exact functionality has not been determined yet. • What options are available for I/O from parallel applications on Cplant? A UNIX file system is currently the only file s
