Sample Run


 

To run an example program (for example, pi), complete the following steps:

    Steps on the server (Paragon):

  1. login to the remote parallel system and change to the appropriate root directory where the library and example programs have been installed.
  2. Once you are in the /examples sub-directory, change to the subdirectory /pi.
  3. Both examples have been previous compiled, but the executables may be recomplied using the makefile in each subdirectory. Give the command "pi2 -sz 4" or "pexec pi2 -sz 4" to launch the run on the Paragon for this example.
    Steps on the client (UNIX Workstation).

  1. Return to the graphics workstation, move to the appropriate subdirectory of the directory /client, which in this case is the subdirectory /pi
  2. Give the command "pi2 remote_system_name"

The graphical user interface G3D permits a remote launch of an application on the Paragon from a local workstation through its Remote widget. See the G3D tutorial for more information on this feature. The remaining example programs are first started on the parallel machine and then its companion program is run on the local client workstation.
