2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_X
_A_d_m_i_n: _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g _G_u_i_d_e. The
information listed here is product- and release-specific;
use it with the Installation Guide to install this product.
2.1 _P_e_r_f_o_r_m_a_n_c_e__C_o_-_P_i_l_o_t__G_i_f_t_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
The PPPPCCCCPPPP GGGGiiiiffffttttssss product includes these subsystems:
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._p_a_g_e_s
Manual pages for the PCP Gifts product.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s
These release notes.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._d_k_m_a_p
Display disk partitioning and attempt to
determine what each partition is used for (e.g.
filesystem, swap, etc).
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._k_e_r_n_v_a_r
A simple tool for displaying kernel memory
values by address or by global variable (symbol)
name. Most useful for instrumentation and
control variables that are usually only
accessible via a /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m interface.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._m_e_m_c_l_a_i_m
Allocate and pin down physical memory, thereby
simulating a reduction in available physical
memory.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._m_i_g_r_a_t_e
A simple script xxxxllllaaaatttteeee____ppppmmmmaaaappppiiii that may be used to
translate source code that uses the PCP PMAPI
from the 1.x version of PMAPI to the 2.0 version
of PMAPI.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._m_p_i
A small toolkit of scripts and utilities that
may be used to create instrumentation for
applications using the MPI library (_l_i_b_m_p_i) for
parallel codes.
The services include configurable generation of
a wrapper library for calls to _l_i_b_m_p_i routines,
then exports the collected information to the
ttttrrrraaaacccceeee PMDA, see ppppmmmmddddaaaattttrrrraaaacccceeee(1), and then uses a
3-D visualization based on ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) to display
- 2 -
time spent in selected MPI routines for each
rank of the parallel computation.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_c_p__s_o_c_k_s
Execute arbitrary PCP applications in situations
where the communication between the application
and a remote ppppmmmmccccdddd(1) passes through a network
security firewall that supports the _s_o_c_k_d
services.
2.2 _P_C_P__G_i_f_t_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the PPPPCCCCPPPP GGGGiiiiffffttttssss subsystems (and their
sizes).
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
select the ``go'' menu item.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_X _A_d_m_i_n: _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g
_G_u_i_d_e for information on finding exact sizes.
The approximate sizes are:

2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for PCP Gifts can be installed using
IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the
_I_R_I_X _A_d_m_i_n: _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _L_i_c_e_n_s_i_n_g _G_u_i_d_e for
complete installation instructions.
2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
The subsystems in PCP Gifts do nnnnooootttt require prior
installation of the Performance Co-Pilot base product.
