INTRODUCTION
============

This README file discusses how to build, install and test the PSM2 library
source code.

The PSM2 library supports a number of fabric media and stacks, and all of
them run on version 7.X of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (abbreviated: RHEL), and
SuSE SLES.

Only the x86_64 architecture is supported.

Building PSM2 is possible on RHEL 7.2 as it ships with hfi1 kernel driver.
For older RHEL 7.x versions and SuSE SLES, OPA is not natively supported
in the kernel (yet) and therefore, building PSM2 is not possible unless
you have the correct kernel-devel package or use latest versions of IFS.

There are two mechanisms for building and installing the PSM2 library:

  1. Use provided Makefiles to build and install or
  2. Generate the *.rpm files which you can then install using either
     yum or dnf command

DEPENDENCIES
============

The following packages are required to build the PSM2 library source code:
(all packages are for the x86_64 architecture)

compat-rdma-devel
gcc-4.8.2
glibc-devel
glibc-headers
kernel-headers
libuuid-devel

In addition to depending on these packages, root privileges are required to
install the runtime libraries and development header files into standard
system location.

BUILDING
========

The instructions below use $BASENAME, $PRODUCT and $RELEASE to refer to
the base name of the tarball, RPM that will be generated and the product
and release identifiers of the RPM.

The base name of the RPM changes depending on which version/branch
of code you derive the tar file from.

Up until v10.2 of PSM2, the base name for the RPM is hfi1-psm.
From v10.2 onwards, the base name will be libpsm2.

BUILDING USING MAKEFILES
------------------------

1. Untar the tarball:
	$ tar zxvf $BASENAME-$PRODUCT-$RELEASE.tar.gz
2. Change directory into the untarred location:
	$ cd $BASENAME-$PRODUCT-$RELEASE
3. Run make on the command line. This will build the PSM2 library.
	$ make

BUILDING USING RPMBUILD
-----------------------

1. Run this command from your $PWD to generate rpm, srpm files
	$ ./makesrpm.sh a

As of this writing (June 30, 2016), this command results in the following
collection of rpm's and source code rpm's under your $PWD/temp.X/ directory.
("X" is the pid of the bash script that created the srpm and rpm files)

RPMS/x86_64/libpsm2-compat-10.2.25-1x86_64.rpm
RPMS/x86_64/libpsm2-devel-10.2.25-1x86_64.rpm
RPMS/x86_64/libpsm2-10.2.25-1x86_64.rpm
RPMS/x86_64/libpsm2-debuginfo-10.2.25-1x86_64.rpm
SRPMS/libpsm2-10.2.25-1.src.rpm

INSTALLING
==========

INSTALLING USING MAKEFILE
-------------------------

Install the libraries and header files on the system (as root):
	$ make install

The libraries will be installed in /usr/lib64, and the header files will
be installed in /usr/include.

This behavior can be altered by using the "DESTDIR" and "LIBDIR" variables on
the "make install" command line. "DESTDIR" will add a leading path component
to the overall install path and "LIBDIR" will change the path where libraries
will be installed. For example, "make DESTDIR=/tmp/psm-install install" will
install all files (libraries and headers) into "/tmp/psm-install/usr/...",
"make DESTDIR=/tmp/psm-install LIBDIR=/libraries install" will install the
libraries in "/tmp/psm-install/libraries" and the headers in
"/tmp/psm-install/usr/include", and "make LIBDIR=/tmp/libs install" will
install the libraries in "/tmp/libs" and the headers in "/usr/include".


INSTALLING USING EITHER YUM OR DNF
----------------------------------

You can install the rpm's and source rpm's previously built using rpmbuild using
either the yum or dnf command as the root user.  See the appropriate man page for
details of installing rpm's.

Note: It is also possible to use rpm command to install rpm's, but it is recommended
that one use yum/dnf as rpm tool has issues with name changes and obsoletes tags.
yum or dnf should be better able to resolve dependency issues.

RELATED SOFTWARE TO PSM2
========================

MPI Libraries supported
-----------------------
A large number of open source (OpenMPI, MVAPICH2) and Vendor MPI
implementations support PSM for optimized communication on HCAs. Vendor MPI
implementations (HP-MPI, Intel MPI 4.0 with PMI, Platform/Scali MPI)
require that the PSM runtime libraries be installed and available on
each node. Usually a configuration file or a command line switch to mpirun
needs to be specified to utilize the PSM transport.

OpenMPI support
---------------
It is recommended to use the v1.10.2 or newer version of OpenMPI.
Prior versions of OpenMPI have an issue with support PSM2 network transports
mixed with standard Verbs transport (BTL openib). This prevents an OpenMPI
installation with network modules available for PSM and Verbs to work
correctly on nodes with no HFI hardware. This has been fixed in the
latest development branch allowing a single OpenMPI installation to target
HFI hardware via PSM or Verbs as well as alternate transports seamlessly.

PSM header and runtime files need to be installed on a node where the OpenMPI
build is performed. All compute nodes additionally should have the PSM runtime
libraries available on them. OpenMPI provides a standard configure, make and
make install mechanism which will detect and build the relevant PSM network
modules for OpenMPI once the header and runtime files are detected.

MVAPICH2 support
----------------
MVAPICH2 supports PSM transport for optimized communication on HFI hardware.
OPA IFS supports MVAPICH2 v2.1 (or later). PSM2 header and runtime files
need to be installed on a node where MVAPICH2 builds are performed. All
compute nodes should also have the PSM2 runtime libraries available on them.

For building and installing MVAPICH2 with OPA support, refer to MVAPICH2
user guides here:
http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/static/media/mvapich/mvapich2-2.2rc1-userguide.html

(Note: Support for PSM2 is currently on v2.2rc1 of OSU MVAPICH2 code base.
The above link might change when a stable v2.2 is released.)

OFED Support
------------
Intel OPA is not yet included within OFED. But the hfi1 driver is available
publicly at kernel.org. Please do pull the driver from either kernel.org or
the github page for opa-hfi1 driver (https://github.com/01org/opa-hfi1)
