Chapter 6. Release Package

This chapter contains the following information about the MPT 1.2.1 release
package:

   * Summary of hardware and software requirements

   * Licensing information

   * List and description of the contents of the release package

   * Ordering instructions

6.1 Hardware and Software Requirements

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 9.0.2.7 or later or 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 1.2.1 release requires a bugfix package to be installed on
     UNICOS systems running release 9.0.2.7 or 10.0. 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, publication SG-5191.

   * 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 services 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.
