Running a small test MPI job - advice wanted.

[Maurice Hilarius]

Yesterday I configured an installation server from the current
CentOS-X86_64 ISO
Went nicely.

Now, I am looking for a simple and easily installed MPI job to run for
testing, using current mpich.

This is really just for demo and testing purposes.

End results of the code are pretty irrelevant to us, we just need a test
program,
using mpich, to test over a smallish cluster for verification purposes..

Does anyone have a suggestion for what would be easy to get, easy to
install and configure, and run?

Thanks!

Have you taken a look at the HPC kit? It's rather large and includes
more than what you need but it will do what you need.

The HPC kit (minus the software packages) is in the Kusu SVN source
under src/kits/hpc. There you will find a sources/ subdirectory into
which you should drop the package files[1] (you might just want to grab
the arch you need).

Then run `buildkit make kit=.` while in the hpc directory. This will
generate an ISO you can then use to install the kit on your cluster as
described in [2].

Yes, we ended up using the linpack from that.

Thanks!
