The Sun HPC ClusterTools technology package contains the following five components:

Sun Message Passing Interface (MPI) library
Prism Parallel programming environment
Sun Scalable Scientific Subroutine Library (S3L)
Sun Cluster Runtime Environment (CRE)

The Sun HPC ClusterTools community source release contains the same source code used by Sun engineers in the current development of the software. It is provided for developers and software vendors who want to modify the source code in accordance with the Sun Community Source Licensing program. It is expected that those using this source code are experienced software developers.

Contents of the Sun HPC ClusterTools Technology Download

The Sun HPC ClusterTools Software source code contains the source code for the entire software suite: Sun MPI Library, the Prism graphical parallel programming environment, the Scalable Scientific Subroutine Library (S3L), as well as the Sun Cluster Runtime Environment (CRE).

How to Download

To download the Sun HPC ClusterTools Technology Source Code, see How to Download.

Documentation & Build Requirements

Documentation is provided for each source code release distribution. The README first: Introductory Notes file is available on the download page and included in the release package, explains contents and the organization of the packaged distribution and provides instructions for unpacking. Building HPC ClusterTools User Guide file contains pre-build requirements and guides the licensees through the steps of building and installing the full Sun HPC ClusterTools suite. Instructions for executing Conformance Test Suite to verify the installation and to test library functions are provided in Introduction to Test Suite which is also a part of the release package.

The source code for HPC ClusterTools Software is made available in buildable form when you install it. The download bundle is in .gz format, and requires about 18 megabytes of disk space. When the bundle is uncompressed, it can take approximately 140 megabytes of disk space before even doing a build. The release contains source code and makefiles for building Sun HPC ClusterTools for Solaris Operating Environment on SPARC architecture.

The following environments and utilities are needed to successfully build the HPC ClusterTools Software:
