Unix Command-Line Interface Command-Line Control You may download a tar ball that contains a suite of command-line tools to compile parallel executables with MacMPI, launch jobs through PCM, and queue jobs using a command-line queuing system: macmpi.tar.gz compressed archive (144 kB download in .tar.gz) Requires OS X 10.2.1 or later, the OS X Developer Tools, and PCM v1.7 or later and adminstrator access. Contains a readme and documentation and the following utilities: mpicc (requires the OS X Developer Tools to be installed first) mpif77 (requires a f77 compiler) mpif90 (requires a f90 compiler) mpif95 (requires a f95 compiler) mpig77 (requires g77, available from Fink) mpixlc (requires IBM's xlc compiler) mpixlf (requires IBM's xlf compiler) mpirun - launches jobs through PCM pstat - queries for nodes, jobs, and their status pqsub - submits jobs to PCM's queuing system pqstat - queries the status of jobs in the PCM's queuing system

Disclaimer

You may use the above code at your own risk. The Unix code above should serve many purposes as is, but it is not a panacea. Therefore, please do go ahead and modify the source as you see fit for your particular situation, or use pieces of them to create new tools and capabilities (e.g., a custom queuing system in AppleScript and/or Unix). If your additions could benefit the community, please supply them so that others can benefit. You may also contribute via the parallel-mac-list Mailing List. The code here will be updated over time.
