Cluster OpenMP* README Information


Introduction

The Cluster OpenMP* add-on to the Intel(R) compilers on Linux* enables you to run 
an OpenMP* program on a cluster of machines that use 64-bit Intel(R) processors, 
or processors compatible with 64-bit Intel(R) processors.  In all of the text below, 
you may replace <version> with the version number of the compiler, e.g. "9.1".  You 
may replace <package_id> with the package number, e.g. "017".


Directories

The Cluster OpenMP* files are installed on your machine within the
compiler directories as follows:

For Itanium-based systems:
	/opt/intel/fc/<version>.<package_id>/lib/libclusterguide.so
	/opt/intel/fc/<version>.<package_id>/lib/libclusterguide_stats.so

Installation

Cluster OpenMP* is automatically installed with the compiler(s).
However, to use Cluster OpenMP* you must purchase a Cluster OpenMP*
license.  If you have purchased a compiler without Cluster OpenMP*, you
can purchase a Cluster OpenMP* upgrade and use it after installing the
upgrade license file.


To get the most out of Cluster OpenMP*, do the following:

1) Consult the Release_Notes.txt file for updated product information
   and Known Issues.

2) Read the first two chapters of UsersGuide.pdf and follow the steps
   in Section 2.1, "Getting Started".

3) If you need to configure a cluster, see Chapter 12, "Configuring a
   Cluster" in the UsersGuide.pdf.


Documentation

All product documentation for the Cluster OpenMP* 
add-on can be found in the documentation directory:

For Itanium-based systems:
	/opt/intel/fc/<version>.<package_id>/doc/cluster_omp_docs/
	/opt/intel/cc/<version>.<package_id>/doc/cluster_omp_docs/

For Intel(R) 64 compatible systems:
	/opt/intel/fce/<version>.<package_id>/doc/cluster_omp_docs/
	/opt/intel/cce/<version>.<package_id>/doc/cluster_omp_docs/

To see a one-line help message for the Cluster OpenMP* compiler
options, use the --help compiler option.
