Hewlett Packard PA-RISC 2.0 Double Precision

Installer's Note



Contents


1. Introduction

This document is essential reading for whoever is responsible for the installation of the NAG Fortran SMP Library implementation specified in the title. The installer will be supplied with a printed copy of this document. Both this (doc/in.html) and the Users' Note (doc/un.html) are supplied on the distribution medium.

Whenever the NAG Fortran SMP Library has been supplied in compiled form, that form is considered to be the standard library file. The use of all supplied software must be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Software Licence signed by NAG and each site. Any request to use NAG software on a computer other than the one licensed must be referred to NAG (see Section 7).

2. Applicability

This implementation is a compiled, tested, ready-to-use version of the NAG Fortran SMP Library that is considered suitable for operation on the computer systems detailed below:

hardware:            Hewlett Packard PA-RISC 2.0 machines
operating system:    HP-UX 11 or compatible
Fortran compiler:    HP F90 v2.4 or compatible
BLAS/LAPACK library: HP MLIB version B.07.00  

For information about implementations of the NAG Fortran SMP Library for use on other computer systems please contact NAG.

3. Distribution Medium

3.1. Recording Details

The implementation is distributed in tar format on CD-ROM, unless otherwise indicated on the medium and accompanying despatch note.

For further details, refer to other documentation supplied or contact NAG (see Section 7).

3.3. File Sizes

The files require approximately the following disk space:
compiled libraries, libnagsmp.a:       24.4 Mb
                    libnagsmp.a.noppu: 24.3 Mb
example program material:               6.0 Mb
documentation files:                    0.1 Mb

4. Library Installation

4.1. Installation

To install all material, use the Unix tar utility, e.g.

tar xvf /cdrom/fs20.tar
(assuming the CD-ROM has been mounted as /cdrom).

The object library (libnagsmp.a) should be moved to a directory, such as /usr/lib, in the default library search path of the linker, if possible, so that linkage is convenient.

See Section 4.2 for information on the alternative compiled library libnagsmp.a.noppu.

The script nagexample refers to the local directory containing the example programs. The file should be copied to (for example) /usr/local/bin, modified to reflect the local installation, and its protection set to world execute.

The man page, which directs users to the HTML form of the Users' Note, should be moved a directory in the man search path, e.g.

cd doc
mv nag_smp_un.3 /usr/local/man/man3

4.2. Checking Accessibility

The installer should ensure that the advice given to users in Section 2.1 of the Users' Note (doc/un.html) is suitable for the installation. This can be done by running a few example programs following that advice; a suitable sample would be A02AAF, G05FFF and X03AAF. The installation can also be tested using the script nagexample.

Two versions of the compiled NAG Library are provided, as described in Section 3.2. The object library libnagsmp.a.noppu is a special version which does not contain underscores appended to NAG routine names, for compatibility with other libraries. If you choose to install this version, you must change its name to libnagsmp.a. Programs which access this version of the library must be compiled with the '+noppu' compiler option.

4.3. Release to Users

The Users' Note (doc/un.html) should be checked and amended as necessary (particularly Section 2.1). It can then be made available to users directly, or be absorbed into local access information.

The following material should also be made accessible to users:

documentation files:

doc/blas_lapack_to_nag
doc/nag_to_blas_lapack
compiled library:
libnagsmp.a
example program material:
examples/source/??????e.f
examples/data/??????e.d
examples/results/??????e.r
scripts/nagexample

Note that the example material has been adapted, if necessary, from that supplied in the NAG Fortran SMP Library documentation, so that programs are suitable for execution with this implementation with no further changes (but see Section 4.4.2 for comments about possible differences in results obtained). Making the example material directly available to users provides them with easily adaptable templates for their own problems.

4.4. Further Information

4.4.1. Output Unit Dependencies (X04)

Certain NAG routines use explicit WRITE statements to produce output directly. The choice of output unit used can be controlled by using X04AAF and X04ABF, described in the documentation. The defaults for this implementation are given in the Users' Note.

4.4.2. Example Programs

The example results distributed were generated at Release 2, using the software described in Section 5. These example results may not be exactly reproducible if the example programs are run in a slightly different environment (for example, a different Fortran compiler, a different compiler library, different arithmetic hardware, or a different set of BLAS or LAPACK routines). The results which are most sensitive to such differences are: eigenvectors (which may differ by a scalar multiple, often -1, but sometimes complex); numbers of iterations and function evaluations; and residuals and other "small" quantities of the same order as the machine precision.

The "example programs" for the routines in the F06 chapter are not typical example programs and they are not in the documentation. They are test programs, which are supplied to sites for use in an installation test of the Library. Some of them take much longer to run than other example programs. Routines which are equivalent to BLAS, are tested twice: once when called by their NAG F06 names, and once when called by their BLAS names.

4.4.3. Maintenance Level

The maintenance level of the library can be determined by writing a simple program to call A00AAF, which prints out details of the implementation, including title and product code, compiler and precision used, mark and maintenance level.

5. Library Derivation

This implementation was produced at NAG Ltd., Oxford on the computing system detailed below:
hardware:            Hewlett Packard K460-EG
operating system:    HP-UX 11.0
Fortran compiler:    HP F90 v2.4
BLAS/LAPACK library: HP MLIB version B.07.00
compiler options:    +DA2.0W +Oparallel +Oopenmp +Onoautopar +Oconservative +U77
                     (+noppu for libnagsmp.a.noppu) 

The entire NAG Fortan SMP Library, Release 2, was compiled with full optimization (+O3), except for the following routines, which had to be compiled at lesser optimization levels:

d02kdzt.f (+O1)    d03prjt.f (+O1)    e02dazt.f (+O2)    e02gbjt.f (+O1)
e04hbzt.f (+O1)    e04jyyt.f (+O2)    e04kywt.f (+O1)    f02gyzt.f (+O1)
f06paft.f (+O1)    f06pctf.f (+O2)    f06peft.f (+O2)    f06prft.f (+O2)
f06psft.f (+O2)    f06srft.f (+O2)    f06ssft.f (+O2)    f11dayt.f (+O1)
f11dpft.f (+O1)    g01jdvt.f (+O1)    g01jdyt.f (+O1)    g10abft.f (+O1)
g10abzt.f (+O1)    g10acft.f (+O1)    x03aaft.f (+O1)    x03aayt.f (+O1)
The following routines were compiled with the additional f90 flags +Onolimit +Oaggressive +Onodataprefetch in place of +Oconservative:
