IBM Blue Gene/L

A collection of information on how to configure and tau on IMB Blue Gene/L.

Configuring PDT

Configure pdt with g++

./configure
make clean install

Configuring TAU

./configure -arch=bgl -mpi -pdt=<dir> -pdt_c++=g++
make clean install

creates a stub makefile in <taudir>/bgl/lib/Makefile.tau-mpi-pdt.

The binaries in <taudir>/bgl/bin are not usable on the front-end, to build tools for the front-end, use:

./configure 
make clean install

This will build and install tools (such as Paraprof, pprof) in the <taudir>/ppc64/bin directory.

Fast BGL Timers

BlueGene systems have a special cycle counter that can be used for low overhead timings, to use it with TAU configure with
