LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

SGI Vendor MPI Support
Compiling and linking your MPI program
You must use the SGI C compiler (cc by default). You cannot use mpicc to build your
programs.
For example, use one of the following compilation commands to build the program
mpi_sgi:
◆ On IRIX/TRIX:
cc -g -64 -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.c -lmpi
f90 -g -64 -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.c -lmpi
cc -g -n32 -mips3 -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.c -lmpi
◆ On Altix:
efc -g -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.f -lmpi
ecc -g -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.c -lmpi
gcc -g -o mpi_sgi mpi_sgi.c -lmpi
System requirements
SGI MPI has the following system requirements:
◆ Your SGI systems must be running IRIX 6.5.24 or higher, or SGI Alitx ProPack 3.0
or higher, with the latest operating system patches applied. Use the
uname
command to determine your system configuration. For example:
uname -aR
IRIX64 hostA 6.5 6.5.17f 07121148 IP27
◆ SGI MPI version:
❖ On IRIX/TRIX: SGI MPI 3.2.04 (MPT 1.3.0.3) released December 7 1999 or
later with the latest patches applied
❖ On Altix: MPT 1.8.1 or later and SGI Array Services 3.6 or later

Configuring LSF to work with SGI MPI
To use 32-bit or 64-bit SGI MPI with Platform LSF, set the following parameters in
lsf.conf:
◆ Set LSF_VPLUGIN to the full path to the MPI library libxmpi.so.
For example:
