Parallel Development
To enhance parallel application environment Sun HPC ClusterTools includes the following:
Open MPI Message Passing Interface (OMPI) is an open source implementation of MPI. OMPI is fully compliant with Message Passing Interface 2 standard including complete MPI I/O implementation and one-sided communications between MPI processes.
Open Run-Time Environment (ORTE) provides a basic set of parallel job management facilities, and includes plug-in modules to support:
- The Sun Grid Engine - allows parallel jobs to be launched and maximizes the utilization of shared resources.
- The Portable Batch System (PBS) - a job scheduler that allocates network resources to batch jobs on networked, multi-platform environments.
