Here I’m discussing about the installation of MPICH software in servers. For this we need minimum 2 numbers or more computers. One should be server and all others are node computers. After configuring this package the entire system will work like a Cluster Solution. You can execute parallel programs as well as serial. No need of installing additional packages. You can assign number of processors for each program. If you want any graphical monitoring tool then you can go for open sources like Ganglia. Install OS in both servers (master & slave) Assign IPs and hostname on both (master & slave) Disable firewall and security on both (master & slave) MPICH2 installation on both servers (master & slave) Download the latest version of software from net. Unzip by using following command # tar –zxvf mpich2-1.2.1p1.tar.tar Configure by using following command # cd mpich2-1.2.1p1 # ./configure --prefix=/opt/mpich2-1.2.1p1 –with- rsh=ssh --with-pm=mpd:gfork
Where there is a shell, there's a way.
