HP-UX 11i v1 Technical Computing Operating
Environment (TCOE)
Like the Minimal Technical Operating Environment, the Technical Computing
Operating Environment (TCOE) contains all the base functionality that is common to
the other four OEs, including the base 32/64-bit HP-UX Operating System, network
drivers, and other always-installed functionality. While it is not a superset of the
Foundation 11i OE, it is a superset of the Minimal Technical OE. Unlike the Minimal
Technical OE, however, the Technical Computing OE is available on both technical
servers and workstations.
In addition to the features found in the HP-UX 11i v1 Minimal Technical OE, the HP-UX
11i v1 Technical Computing Operating Environment includes these always-installed or
default-installed applications:
• HP CIFS Client and HP CIFS Server (see page 114)
• High Performance Math Libraries (HP MLIB) (see page 153)
• HP 3D Technology for the Java 2 Platform (see page 154)
• HP Message-Passing Interface (MPI) (see page 154)
• HP-UX Software Development Kit and Runtime Environment for the Java 2
Platform (see page 116)
• HP-UX Web Server Suite (see page 119)
• Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) Kerberos (see page 130)
• Plug-In for the Java 2 Platform for Netscape/Mozilla (see page 132)
For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 6-1 on page 105.
High Performance Math Libraries (HP MLIB)
The High Performance Math Libraries (HP MLIB) product contains the Linear Algebra
Package (LAPACK) and the Vector Library (VECLIB) subprograms, and with the
September 2002 release, ScaLAPACK and the Distributed SuperLU library. HP MLIB
provides mathematical software and computational kernels for engineering and
scientific applications involving linear equations, least squares, eigenvalue problems,
and the singular value decomposition.
updated for
September 2003
New features for Version 8.5 include the following:
• Full METIS Functionality
This implementation provides the METIS Version 4.0.1 library. It is based on the
public-domain METIS, which was developed at the University of Minnesota,
Department of Computer Science, and the Army HPC Research Center. The library
contains a set of subroutines for graph partitioning, mesh partitioning, and sparse
matrix reordering, as well as auxiliary routines. HP MLIB contains the full METIS
functionality as that in the public domain METIS; however, the routine names are
different. HP MLIB METIS routine names have been prepended with mlib_ to avoid
name conflict on applications and libraries that contain their own local version of
METIS.
