Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : lam
Version : 7.1.1
Release : 1_FC3
Summary : The LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) programming environment.
Description :
LAM (Local Area Multicomputer) is an Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
programming environment and development system for heterogeneous
computers on a network. With LAM/MPI, a dedicated cluster or an
existing network computing infrastructure can act as one parallel
computer to solve one problem. LAM/MPI is considered to be "cluster
friendly" because it offers daemon-based process startup/control as
well as fast client-to-client message passing protocols. LAM/MPI can
use TCP/IP and/or shared memory for message passing (different RPMs
are supplied for this -- see the main LAM website at
http://www.mpi.nd.edu/lam/ for details).<

LAM features a full implementation of MPI version 1 (with the
exception that LAM does not support cancelling of sends), and much of
version 2. Compliant applications are source code portable between LAM
and any other implementation of MPI. In addition to meeting the
standard, LAM/MPI offers extensive monitoring capabilities to support
debugging. Monitoring happens on two levels: On one level, LAM/MPI has
the hooks to allow a snapshot of a process and message status to be
taken at any time during an application run. The status includes all
aspects of synchronization plus datatype map/signature, communicator
group membership and message contents (see the XMPI application on the
main LAM website). On the second level, the MPI library can produce a
cumulative record of communication, which can be visualized either at
runtime or post-mortem.

- Fix RPM build on x86-64

* Mon Apr 5 2004 Lon Hohberger <lhh@redhat.com> 7.0.3-6.2

will need to install the -debuginfo RPM. (#119523)

* Tue Mar 2 2004 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

- rebuilt

* Fri Feb 13 2004 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

- rebuilt

* Tue Dec 9 2003 Lon Hohberger <lhh@redhat.com> 7.0.3-5

installation (#111238).
- Remove deprecated/unnecessary symlinking.
- Preserve .debug info for things which need the debugging
information (eg, TotalView) on appropriate platforms (eg,
32-bit platforms). According to the configure.in file for
TotalView, it only really works on 32-bit platforms at
the moment.
- Removed --with-rpi=usysv; it's now a runtime option.

* Wed Jun 4 2003 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

- rebuilt

- Since it doesn't fix it, turn off mpi2c++ altogether - a package
that builds without C++ wrappers is preferable to a package that doesn't
build at all

/usr for includes and libs (#67321)

- 6.5.5
- License change - from a BSDish license to BSD

* Fri Aug 17 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com> 6.5.4-1

- 6.5.4, from the stable branch. Minor bugfixes, more docs. This also
made allmost all references to the buildroot go away.
- fix the remaining reference
- Don't include examples as they are too tied with the buildroot.
- Add perl and file-utils as build dependencies
- don't include doc/* as documentation, that directory disappeared a
long time ago (rpm doesn't fail if something in the doc section is
missing )

* Sat Apr 7 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

don't specify -I/usr/include - this breaks some compilations of MPI
programs (#34796)

* Wed Apr 4 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- 6.5.1 final
- update URL
- add epoch, as rpm thought 6.5.1 newer than 6.5b7 newer
than 6.5.1 etc.

* Tue Mar 27 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- 6.5b7
- fix lamhelpdir problems

* Fri Mar 2 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- 6.5b5 - this is just a renaming of the 6.3.3b series,
and should hopefully be indentical to 6.5 final

* Mon Feb 12 2001 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- make a link from mpi++.h, not mpi++, to mpi2c++/mpi++.h
(#27249)
- 6.3.3b58, which should work better on SMP machines in
a cluster

* Tue Nov 28 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- 6.3.3b47

* Thu Aug 17 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

problem on SCO, otherwise none. This includes
fixing some programs which didn't work in the
last build.

* Thu Jul 27 2000 Harald Hoyer <harald@redhat.com>

- fixed the install process, that the lam tools have the
right path set. make all;make DESTDIR install is
our friend.

* Wed Jul 19 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- a new and better world without dirty tricks necesarry.
All hail the 6.3.3beta (beta 20 - all my requests and
patches seem to be in now :-):

* Fri Jun 16 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- substituted some old dirty tricks for new ones to make
it build. More needed.
- Removed C++ (won't build) and ROMIO (who cares) support

* Thu Jun 15 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- ugly tricks to make it use %{_mandir}
- patch to make it build with current compiler and glibc
- don't build on IA64

* Tue Apr 25 2000 Trond Eivind Glomsrød <teg@redhat.com>

- changed RPI to usysv - this should be good for
(clusters of) SMPs.

* Tue Mar 28 2000 Harald Hoyer <harald@redhat.com>

- patched scheme Makefile

* Tue Mar 28 2000 Harald Hoyer <harald@redhat.com>

- new subminor version
- patched Makefile to build otb daemons, to satisfy conf.otb and build all
stuff

* Sat Mar 4 2000 Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>

- fixed the whole tree the hard way - get into each Makefile and fix
brokeness on a case by case basis. Traces of Buildroot should be
erradicated by now.

* Thu Mar 2 2000 Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>

- put back the mpi2c++ stuff.

* Tue Feb 29 2000 Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>
