================================================================ LLCREATE "Quick-start" ================================================================ *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * NOTE: A short postscript document describing xllcreate * * is available. See /usr/local/apps/LLCREATE/doc/XLLC-doc.ps. * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* To run the latest version of LLCREATE with the sample program, follow these instructions... 1) Copy the example directory to your own area: /usr/bin/cp -r /usr/local/apps/LLCREATE/example ~/ This will create a subdirectory under your home directory called . 2) Set your DISPLAY environment variable if not already set. Check to make sure danube has xhost permission on your console. Build and submit the example... 3) In your example directory, type: make -f make.pvm 4) Call up the xllcreate program: xllcreate 5) Experiment with the entry panel, using the Help button to get started. You may use "Help" throughout llcreate as needed. For the program to properly execute, you will need to enter the following information: The program is PVM, and MPMD. The main executable is "manager", and the secondary "worker". The program does not take arguments, but does read from standard input. The appropriate file to redirect is called "manager.input" The program does not explicitly open any input files. The user.setup and user.cleanup scripts are optional, but user.cleanup will copy back an output file you won't otherwise see. 6) Create the command file with "Create *.cmd File" 7) Submit the job! Experiment with your own program... 8) Assuming all goes well with this example, please feel free to try out the utility on your own favorite example. Simply call up xllcreate from the directory containing the executable(s). * * * * * * * Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
