Ordering instructions
To build and use MPT software on Cray PVP systems, CRAY T3E systems, and MIPS based systems, you must have the following software:
UNICOS release 10.0 or later for Cray PVP systems; UNICOS/mk release 1.5 or later for CRAY T3E systems; and IRIX release 6.2 or later for MIPS based systems.
The MPT 1.3 release requires a bugfix package to be installed on UNICOS systems running release 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.0.1. The bugfix package, MPT12_OS_FIXES, is available through the getfix utility. It is also available from the anonymous FTP site ftp.cray.com in directory /pub/mpt/fixes/MPT12_OS_FIXES.
IRIX 6.2 systems running PVM require the POSIX patch set and any patches recommended by the patch set.
IRIX 6.2 systems running MPI require the kernel rollup patch 1650 or later.
IRIX 6.3 systems running MPI require the kernel rollup patch 2328 or later.
For UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems, Cray Programming Environment releases 3.0 or later.
For UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems, the Modules software package. Because the Cray Programming Environment 3.0 releases use the Modules software package, in addition to having the Cray Programming Environment installed on your system, you must have the PrgEnv module loaded before you can use MPT. Modules are not required for IRIX systems. For information on using modules, see Installing Programming Environment Products.
For IRIX systems running MPI applications, Array Services release 3.0 or later. For UNICOS systems, Array Services is included in the required UNICOS versions.
For MPI jobs using the checkpoint and restart feature, IRIX 6.4 plus kernel patch 2839 and CPR patch 2689, or IRIX 6.5. For IRIX 6.4 and IRIX 6.5 problems with the ash (array session handler) option of the cpr command, CPR patch 3017.
For IRIX 6.5 systems using checkpoint and restart or Miser features, Array Services release 3.1 or later.
For IRIX systems using the MPI usability improvements, Array Services release 3.2 or later.
