MPI Test Suite
BC Project: FY06-16
Date of Policy: 02 Sep 2011
Last Updated: 21 Oct 2021 (see Revision Log)
This policy defines the actions each center will perform with regard to an MPI Test Suite developed by the PET Computational Environment (CE) team and maintained by PET through approved Mission or Special Projects. The policy is limited to the unclassified user-accessible HPC systems.
The test suite is designed to report which optional routines, constants, etc. are supported by a particular MPI implementation. A copy of the test suite and usage documentation are kept on the HPCMP Gitlab server under "MPI Test Suite."
Each center will run this test suite against each default version of an MPI implementation, using a selected compiler, on each unclassified, user-accessible HPC system. The reports generated by the test suite will be posted on the HPC Centers website.
This test suite will be run at least monthly or as needed to accomodate:
- a new machine becoming available
- a replacement default implementation of MPI is added to a machine
- the default version of an existing non-beta MPI implementation is upgraded
- the MPI implementation is recompiled.
Support
The PET team maintains this test suite and will make revisions to the test suite whenever issues arise or changes are made to the MPI standard that require new or modified tests. Questions/problems/issues involving the MPI Test Suite can be addressed to the PET team by sending email to PET@hpc.mil.
