854    \subsection{Building with MPI}
855    \label{sect:mpi-build}
856    
857    Building MITgcm to use MPI libraries can be complicated due to the
858    variety of different MPI implementations available, their dependencies
859    or interactions with different compilers, and their often ad-hoc
860    locations within file systems.  For these reasons, its generally a
861    good idea to start by finding and reading the documentation for your
862    machine(s) and, if necessary, seeking help from your local systems
863    administrator.
864    
865    The steps for building MITgcm with MPI support are:
866    \begin{enumerate}
867      
868    \item Determine the locations of your MPI-enabled compiler and/or MPI
869      libraries and put them into an options file as described in Section
870      \ref{sect:genmake}.  One can start with one of the examples in:
871      \begin{rawhtml} <A
872        href="http://mitgcm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/MITgcm/tools/build_options/">
873      \end{rawhtml}
874      \begin{center}
875        \texttt{MITgcm/tools/build\_options/}
876      \end{center}
877      \begin{rawhtml} </A> \end{rawhtml}
878      such as \texttt{linux\_ia32\_g77+mpi\_cg01} or
879      \texttt{linux\_ia64\_efc+mpi} and then edit it to suit the machine at
880      hand.  You may need help from your user guide or local systems
881      administrator to determine the exact location of the MPI libraries.
882      If libraries are not installed, MPI implementations and related
883      tools are available including:
884      \begin{itemize}
885      \item \begin{rawhtml} <A
886          href="http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/">
887        \end{rawhtml}
888        MPICH
889        \begin{rawhtml} </A> \end{rawhtml}
890    
891      \item \begin{rawhtml} <A
892          href="http://www.lam-mpi.org/">
893        \end{rawhtml}
894        LAM/MPI
895        \begin{rawhtml} </A> \end{rawhtml}
896    
897      \item \begin{rawhtml} <A
898          href="http://www.osc.edu/~pw/mpiexec/">
899        \end{rawhtml}
900        MPIexec
901        \begin{rawhtml} </A> \end{rawhtml}
902      \end{itemize}
903      
904    \item Build the code with the \texttt{genmake2} \texttt{-mpi} option
905      (see Section \ref{sect:genmake}) using commands such as:
906    {\footnotesize \begin{verbatim}
907      %  ../../../tools/genmake2 -mods=../code -mpi -of=YOUR_OPTFILE
908      %  make depend
909      %  make
910    \end{verbatim} }
911      
912    \item Run the code with the appropriate MPI ``run'' or ``exec''
913      program provided with your particular implementation of MPI.
914      Typical MPI packages such as MPICH will use something like:
915    \begin{verbatim}
916      %  mpirun -np 4 -machinefile mf ./mitgcmuv
917    \end{verbatim}
918      Sightly more complicated scripts may be needed for many machines
919      since execution of the code may be controlled by both the MPI
920      library and a job scheduling and queueing system such as PBS,
921      LoadLeveller, Condor, or any of a number of similar tools.
922
