Installing and configuring OpenMPI

The following subsection will guide you through the process of downloading and configuring the OpenMPI package in Ubuntu. It will also provide you with basic programming examples in order to create simple cluster applications and make you understand the basic usage and functioning of the MPI standard interface.

Downloading and installing OpenMPI packages

Thankfully, OpenMPI is regarded as a standard package under Ubuntu Linux. You can download a precompiled version with the following command:

sudo apt-get install openmpi1.5-bin openmpi1.5-doc libopenmpi1.5-dev

Keep in mind that this has to be done on every single node. You can also execute commands using the ssh command from your master node.

For the following tutorial, let's assume that you have the following network setup:

192.168.0.16: This is your master node with the name gatekeeper
192.168.0.17: This is your first slave node with the name beowulf1
192.168.0.18: This is your second slave node with the...

Andreas J Reichel

Andreas Josef Reichel was born in 1982 in Munich, Bavaria, to Josef and Ursula. He went to an elementary school from 1989 to 1993 and continued with lower secondary education for 4 years and started with middle school in 1996. In 1999, he finished school as the best graduate of the year. From 2000 to 2001, he went to Fachoberschule and got his subject-linked university entrance qualification, with which he began to study Physical Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. After two semesters, he got his preliminary diploma and began with general studies of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2003. In 2011, he completed Dipl.-Phys. (Univ.) in experimental physics with the THz characterization of thin semiconductor films in photonics and optoelectronics. Now, he is working on his dissertation to Dr. rer. nat. on plasma etching processes for semiconductors at the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technische Universität München in Garching. In his spare time, he has been learning programming languages such as BASIC, Pascal, C/C++, x86 and x64 Assembler, as well as HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and the database system MySQL and has been programming since he was 13 years old. Since 1995, he has been an active hobby musician in different accordion ensembles and orchestras. He also loves to learn about languages and drawing, and he began practicing Chinese martial arts in 2012. He invests most of his free time in hobby electronic projects and family genealogical research. He was the co-author of Charge carrier relaxation and effective masses in silicon probed by terahertz spectroscopy, S. G. Engelbrecht, A. J. Reichel, and R. Kersting, Journal of Applied Physics.
