Go up one level in this thread
for planning, here's what you need to do: 1. create a .tar or .zip with everything you need. 2. You then will log into moat.cis.uab.edu (I will give you a username/password via email when you are ready). You have to ftp/scp/sftp your .tar file to moat. Then you will use the same account and scp it to crafty.cis.uab.edu. 3. Next you ssh to crafty.cis.uab.edu and use the same username/password to log on there. From that point, you will use a different username/password to log on to the opteron and also scp your files from my dual xeon up to the opteron. 4. At that point you are "on", with 4 x 875 processors, running SUSE linux (It says enterprise linux 9, but am not 100% sure about what that means). It does have a NUMA-aware kernel and tries to schedule processes around local memory. This is a kludge, I know, but AMD is very restrictive about who can enter their development lab, since they have vendors working in there on commercial applications that they do not want to see "stolen or borrowed." Let me know when you want to try this, but sooner is better since I don't know how long it will be before they want to disassemble the thing and build something for the next user to play with... I'm still running SMP tests, but can easily stop them for a while for you to test, then can resume without problems... Bob BTW this has a version of gcc that will actually do profile-guided optimizations on Crafty, and also produces 64 bit code by default. I think it is 3.3.3, but am not certain. The most recent version on red hat RHE would crash when I tried to profile crafty. It doesn't like something in all the 64 bit stuff I do...
