Tools for efficient use of the NIST IBM PowerParallel System 2

K.A. Remington, ACMD

The IBM Scalable POWERparallel System 2 (SP2) is a distributed memory multiprocessor consisting of a collection of RS6000 workstation nodes (running the AIX/6000 operating system) together with a high performance switch (HPS) providing communication between the nodes.

In an effort to provide NIST researchers with a centralized source of documentation and programming aids, the author has provided an in-depth primer to programming on the NIST SP2 and several utilities which are available for use on the SP2.

Ongoing efforts include keeping the Primer current by documenting system changes, and making any necessary changes to the provided utilities after system upgrades. Additional utilities may be provided as needed.
