================================================================================
OFED Support
------------
OFED 3.5 or above should be installed on the node. Prior versions of OFED
have an older QLogic IB driver (ib_qib) and do not fully support all the PSM
features with this release.
Building PSM
------------
Build requires that GNU GCC compiler is installed on the machine doing the
build. If compiling code for MIC, SCIF must be present. Root privileges
are required to install the runtime libraries and development header files
into the standard system location.
Building from Makefile
-----------------------
1. Untar the tarball:
$ tar zxvf infinipath-psm-$PRODUCT-$RELEASE.tar.gz
2. Change directory into the untarred location:
$ cd infinipath-psm-$PRODUCT-$RELEASE
3. Run make on the command line. This will build the libraries. By default,
the Makefile will auto-detect whether libuuid and the uuid.h header file
are installed. If so, it will use the system's libuuid. Otherwise, PSM
will be compiled with the libuuid included with PSM.
$ make
The Makefile will attempt to detect if SCIF is present, and if found, it will
build the SCIF enabled variant by default. Auto-detection of SCIF can be
disabled by passing the PSM_HAVE_SCIF variable.
To specify the SCIF-enabled version, set the PSM_HAVE_SCIF variable:
$ make PSM_HAVE_SCIF=1
To specify the non-SCIF version, even if SCIF is present, clear the variable:
$ make PSM_HAVE_SCIF=0
To force compiling with the included libuuid, use the USE_PSM_UUID variable:
$ make USE_PSM_UUID=1
(PSM_HAVE_SCIF and USE_PSM_UUID may be used in conjunction)
4. Install the libraries and header files on the system (as root):
$ make install
The libraries will be installed in either /usr/lib or /usr/lib64, depending on
the architecture of the machine, and the header files will be installed in
/usr/include.
This behavior can be altered by using the "DESTDIR" and "LIBDIR" variables on
the "make install" command line. "DESTDIR" will add a leading path component
to the overall install path and "LIBDIR" will change the path where libraries
will be installed. For example, "make DESTDIR=/tmp/psm-install install" will
install all files (libraries and headers) into "/tmp/psm-install/usr/...",
"make DESTDIR=/tmp/psm-install LIBDIR=/libraries install" will install the
libraries in "/tmp/psm-install/libraries" and the headers in
"/tmp/psm-install/usr/include", and "make LIBDIR=/tmp/libs install" will
install the libraries in "/tmp/libs" and the headers in "/usr/include".
MPI Libraries supported
-----------------------
A large number of open source (OpenMPI, MVAPICH, MVAPICH2) and Vendor MPI
implementations support PSM for optimized communication on QLogic Truescale
Infiniband HCAs. Vendor MPI implementations (HP-MPI, Intel MPI 4.0 with PMI,
Platform/Scali MPI) require that the PSM runtime libraries be installed and
available on each node. Usually a configuration file or a command line switch
to mpirun needs to be specified to utilize the PSM transport.
OpenMPI support
---------------
It is recommended to use the OpenMPI v1.5 development branch. Prior versions
of OpenMPI have an issue with support PSM network transports mixed with standard
Verbs transport (BTL openib). This prevents an OpenMPI installation with
network modules available for PSM and Verbs to work correctly on nodes with
no QLogic IB hardware. This has been fixed in the latest development branch
allowing a single OpenMPI installation to target IB hardware via PSM or Verbs
as well as alternate transports seamlessly.
PSM header and runtime files need to be installed on a node where the OpenMPI
build is performed. All compute nodes additionally should have the PSM runtime
libraries available on them. OpenMPI provides a standard configure, make and
make install mechanism which will detect and build the relevant PSM network
modules for OpenMPI once the header and runtime files are detected. Further
information on compiling and running MPI applications with OpenMPI on PSM is
available in the QLogic OFED User guide available at:
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/SearchByProduct.aspx?ProductCategory=301&Product=1116&Os=65
MVAPICH and MVAPICH2 support
----------------------------
Both MVAPICH and MVAPICH2 support PSM transport for optimized communication on
QLogic Truescale IB hardware. MVAPICH2 1.4 and MVAPICH 1.2 versions are
recommended. PSM header and runtime files need to be installed on a node where
MVAPICH builds are performed. All compute nodes additionally should have the
PSM runtime libraries available on them.
MVAPICH provides a shell script in it's top level directory called
make.mvapich.psm to configur, make and install MVAPICH with PSM support.
MVAPICH2 provides a standard configure and make infrastructure. In order to
MVAPICH2 for PSM the following should be performed from the top level directory:
- ./configure --prefix=<path_to_install_mvapich2> --with-device=ch3:psm
- make
- make install
Further information on compiling and running MPI applications with MVAPICH on
PSM is available in the QLogic OFED User guide available at:
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/SearchByProduct.aspx?ProductCategory=301&Product=1116&Os=65
