---------------------------------- Intel(R) MPI Library for Linux* OS README ---------------------------------- ------------ Introduction ------------ The Intel(R) MPI Library is a multi-fabric message passing library that implements the Message Passing Interface, version 3.0 (MPI-3.0) specification. It provides a standard library across Intel(R) platforms and enables you to improve performance of applications running on IA clusters. The Intel(R) MPI Library enables you to deliver maximum end user performance as soon as a new processor and interconnect technology become available. For information on Intel(R) MPI Library installation, see instructions in the Installation Guide, located at /doc/INSTALL.html ------------------- Product Directories ------------------- Following successful installation, the files associated with the Intel(R) MPI Library for Linux* OS are installed on your host system. The following directory map indicates the default structure and identifies the file types stored in each sub-directory. +-- opt Installer can specify a different start level. | +-- intel Common directory for Intel(R) Software Development Products. | As a different start level is possible, is | used instead of opt/intel in this document and other | product documents when specifying the installed location of | the product files. | +--impi Subdirectory for the Intel(R) MPI Library products. | | | +-- . Subdirectory for the | | Intel(R) MPI Library components. It also | | contains information about license | | (mpiEULA.txt, mpi-rtEULA.txt), customer support | | (mpisupport.txt, mpi-rtsupport.txt), a list of | | redistributable files (redist.txt, redist-rt.txt), | | documentation index (Doc_Index.html), and | | uninstallation script (uninstall.sh) with | | configuration file (impi.uninstall.config). | | | +-- binding The Intel(R) MPI Library binding kit. | | | +-- doc All product documentation files. | | | +-- Files for specific architecture. | | | Where is one of the following: | | | intel64 - the Intel(R) 64 architecture | | | mic - the Intel(R) Many Integrated | | | Core Architecture (Intel(R) MIC | | | Architecture) | | | | | |-- bin Binaries, scripts and executable files. | | | | | |-- etc Additional configuration files. | | | | | |-- include Include and header files. | | | | | |-- lib Libraries and compiler input files. | | | +-- test Sample C, C++ and FORTRAN programs. | +--impi_latest Symbolic link to the latest installed | version of Intel(R) MPI Library product. | +--impi_ Symbolic link to each Intel(R) MPI Library update version installed. For example, impi_5.0.0, impi_5.0.1, etc. ---------------------------- Other Sources of Information ---------------------------- Before product installation, you can view this file (README.txt), the product Release Notes (Release_Notes.txt), and the product Installation Guide (INSTALL.html). After installation, these files are still available, but they are located in the doc subdirectory as well as at the same level as the executable installation file. Refer to the following locations for essential information: Documentation Index Doc_Index.html at /impi/./ lists all the documentation available for the product Getting Started Page The Getting Started page (get_started.html) at /impi/./doc contains information on compiling and running your MPI program.
