Running PADE: A Tutorial

 

This chapter is devoted to guiding the user through an example in which PADE is used to compile the manager/worker example PVM program that is provided with the PADE package. This chapter assumes that the user has successfully installed PADE and that the user can start a viable virtual machine. Instructions on how to install the PADE package are given in Chapter 2. The user is encouraged to work through this example using the online PADE manual by altering the files provided in the example subdirectory appropriately so that they will work on the user's virtual machine.

The files located in the examples subdirectory associated with the manager/worker example are the following.

The manager.c and worker.c source files need not be modified by the user. The user will need to make several copies of makefile.mw, possibly one for each node on the virtual machine, and modify each appropriately. The user will also need to modify either the pade_setenv or pade_export files prior to invoking PADE. If the user is not running either sh csh, tcsh, or bash, then a file similar to one of these but containing the correct commands will be needed. The PADE setup files and corresponding pvmmake files are provided only as examples and will not be needed by the user.

The tutorial comprising the rest of this chapter contains a step-by-step description of how PADE is used to compile the manager/worker PVM program on an example virtual machine. It was writen under the assumption that the user would follow each step (performed as appropriate for the user's own virtual machine) while referring to either the paper or the online copy of the PADE manual. Not all of the features of PADE are exhibited in this tutorial, however, and the user is encouraged to read the PADE User's Reference given in Chapter 5.
