New LAM package -- 6.3
Greetings! Lam 6.3 is now available, as is the accompanying
xmpi-2.2. Please test. This version has some very useful new
features.
Added ROMIO MPI I/O package (chapter 9 from the MPI-2
standard) from the Argonne National Laboratory.
Added the MPI-2 C++ bindings package (chapter 10
from the MPI-2 standard) from the Laboratory for
Scientific Computing at the University of Notre
Dame.
Pseudo-tty support for remote IO (e.g.,
line buffered output).
Ability to pass environment variables through mpirun.
Ability to mpirun shell scripts/debuggers/etc. (that
eventually run LAM/MPI programs).
Ability to execute non-MPI programs across the multicomputer.
Added configurable ability to zero-fill internal
LAM buffers before they are used (for development
tools such as Purify).
Greatly expanded error messages; provided for customizable local help
files.
Expanded and updated documentation.
Wrapper compilers now use same compilers as in ./configure.
Made -lmpi implicit in wrapper compilers.
Fixed compatibility problems with some compilers.
Fixed problem with some compilers not
getting prototypes properly from <mpi.h>.
Various bug fixes (see the HISTORY file).
Take care,
