POOMA build and test guide

This page is a guide to building the POOMA parallel object-oriented code and running its test programs.

Download and Extract

It is assumed that you already downloaded the POOMA code.

To configure the source code, compile the source code and example programs, and run the examples, use:

• Unpack the .tgz file:
  • tar zxf pooma-gcc.tgz, or
  • gunzip -c pooma-gcc.tgz | tar xf -
• Change directory to the repository thus created:
  • cd pooma-gcc

Run

To configure the source code, compile the source code and example programs, and run the examples, use

• ./tester.pl gcc-location-prefix

  where g++-location-prefix specifies which gcc program to use. We assume gcc is at g++-location-prefix/bin/gcc and the associated C++ libraries are located at g++-location-prefix/lib. Command-line options are documented at the beginning of tester.pl.

• If unsuccessful, read the resulting tester.log log file and fix the problem or email it to someone who can diagnose and fix the problem.

Testing

The output of the testing programs gets written into tester.log.

Cleanup

Rerunning tester.pl will rerun the test programs but will not rebuild the library. To force the library to be rebuilt, use make realcleansuite.
