Lessons Learned in Porting Fortran/PVM Code to the CrayT3D
Spring 1995 (vol. 3 no. 1)
pp. 4-11
A study of the porting of a distributed solver to the Cray T3D is described. Portable Fortran 77 code for the distributed, direct solution of linear systems of equations is developed for initial implementation on a workstation cluster, where message-passing is facilitated through the use of Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). The code is then ported to the Cray T3D, and optimized through the use of Cray-specific PVM and Shared Memory (Shmem) routines. Problems encountered in the porting are described, and performance data is provided. Finally, the construction of template software for simplifying the incorporation of the T3D solver into existing serial code is reported.
