Automatic Report Generation
Up: Contents Next: Problems Previous: nupshot, a Way to View Logfiles
We are working on a prototype system for automatically producing a report
describing the installation of MPI on the system you are using. This is
done by going to the
top-level directory and doing
configure ... >& config.log
doc/port
Warning: this rebuilds the system, since one of the things the report will
contain is the set of machine-specific parameters used and the total time it
take to build it.
The reason for directing the configure output to a file is so that the
document generator can include comments on the configuration itself, such as
calling out any problems that configure noticed.
If the system that you are running on contains all the
necessary components for producing the report, it will appear in the file
doc/doc1.tex. This is a LaTeX file and should be processed in
the doc directory:
cd doc
latex doc1
bibtex
latex doc1
dvips doc1
The graphs of performance require gnuplot and are generated as
Postscript files.
