--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-548 2005-07-12 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : lam Version : 7.1.1 Release : 6.FC3 Summary : The LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment. Description : LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an Message-Passing Interface (MPI) programming environment and development system for heterogeneous computers on a network. With LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel computer to solve one problem. LAM/MPI is considered to be "cluster friendly" because it offers daemon-based process startup/control as well as fast client-to-client message passing protocols. LAM/MPI can use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for message passing (different RPMs are supplied for this -- see the main LAM website at http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam/ for details).< LAM features a full implementation of MPI version 1 (with the exception that LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of version 2. Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM and any other implementation of MPI. In addition to meeting the standard, LAM/MPI offers extensive monitoring capabilities to support debugging. Monitoring happens on two levels: On one level, LAM/MPI has the hooks to allow a snapshot of a process and message status to be taken at any time during an application run. The status includes all aspects of synchronization plus datatype map/signature, communicator group membership and message contents (see the XMPI application on the main LAM website). On the second level, the MPI library can produce a cumulative record of communication, which can be visualized either at runtime or post-mortem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: o Build shared libraries o Enable use on x86_64 platform --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fri Jul 8 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2:7.1.1-6 - fix bug 161028 - build for FC4 updates * Mon Jun 27 2005 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2:7.1.1-5 - enable shared libraries - don't list /usr/share/* in files * Sun May 22 2005 Jeremy Katz <katzj@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2:7.1.1-4 - use -fPIC on x86_64 (reported by spot to get things building for Extras) * Tue Mar 8 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - add test for f95 to configure * Mon Mar 7 2005 Florian La Roche <laroche@xxxxxxxxxx> - require gcc-gfortran instead of gcc-g77 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/ a1ff0d2f0ddf7e793f6578fef45337b9 SRPMS/lam-7.1.1-6.FC3.src.rpm 28f7c8b50b288890f51bd69a92e32662 x86_64/lam-7.1.1-6.FC3.x86_64.rpm 5be5295fb2318301a9b52e4d0f81de94 x86_64/debug/lam-debuginfo-7.1.1-6.FC3.x86_64.rpm ec49915d5ad261d07bc44d66b832cabf i386/lam-7.1.1-6.FC3.i386.rpm 3362ddee6092c267c47f4e0a9c43205d i386/debug/lam-debuginfo-7.1.1-6.FC3.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
