IOF is open source software distributed under a BSD license. Please see the LICENSE & NOTICE files for more information.
IOF requires a c99 capable compilers and the scons build tool to build along with set of Python libraries for supporting the building and configuration of the following third party libraries upon which CPPR depends
- Mercury (https://github.com/mercury-hpc/mercury)
- CCI (wget http://cci-forum.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/cci-0.3.0.tar.gz) for RPC and underneath communication.
- Mercury uses openpa (http://git.mcs.anl.gov/radix/openpa.git) for atomic operation.
- MCL and PMIx (https://github.com/pmix/master) for collective communication The PMIx uses hwloc library (wget https://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/v1.11/downloads/hwloc-1.11.2.tar.gz).
- Openmpi runtime environment The ompi needs to be compiled with the external PMIx/hwloc used by MCL and PMIx (an example configuration is "./configure --with-pmix=/your_pmix_install_path / --with-hwloc=/your_hwloc_install_path --with-libevent=external").
- To run unit tests, the CUnit-devel package is required
The build tools distributed as a submodule to IOF can be used to build these prerequisites for you.
After checkout, or pull, update the submodules
git submodule init; git submodule update
To build with all dependent modules installed
scons; scons install
To build the dependencies automatically
scons --build-deps=yes; scons install
It is recommended, though not required, to use scons 2.4 or later.
To get more options help messages, type scons -h
