HP XC System Software Administration Guide Version 3.2

NOTE: Be sure to specify the directory with the -prefix= option.
6. Build MPICH with the make command.
# make
NOTE: Building MPICH may take longer than 2 hours.
C.3 Running the MPICH Self-Tests
Optionally, you can run the MPICH self-tests with the following command:
% make testing
Two Fortran tests are expected to fail because they are not 64-bit clean.
Tests that use ADIOI_Set_lock() fail on some platforms as well, for unknown reasons.
C.4 Installing MPICH
You can install MPICH on one shared file system in the HP XC system or on individual file
systems for those nodes that will run MPICH jobs.
Enter the following command as the superuser (root) to install the MPICH distribution on a
shared file system:
# make install
Alternatively, copy the MPICH distribution to the appropriate file systems, and install the MPICH
distribution on the appropriate nodes:
# pdcp -w nodelist path_name dpath_name
# pdsh -w nodelist "make install"
In these commands, nodelist signifies the nodes that will run MPICH jobs, and path_name
identifies the full pathname of the directory containing the MPICH distribution expanded from
the tar file.
