How To Install scalasca-mpich on CentOS 8

scalasca-mpich is Toolset for performance analysis of large-scale parallel applications - mpich

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install scalasca-mpich on CentOS 8.

What is `scalasca-mpich`

Scalasca is a software tool that supports the performance optimization of parallel programs by measuring and analyzing their runtime behavior. The analysis identifies potential performance bottlenecks – in particular those concerning communication and synchronization – and offers guidance in exploring their causes. Scalasca targets mainly scientific and engineering applications based on the programming interfaces MPI and OpenMP, including hybrid applications based on a combination of the two. The tool has been specifically designed for use on large-scale systems, but is also well suited for small- and medium-scale HPC platforms. This is the mpich version.

We can use yum or dnf to install scalasca-mpich on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install scalasca-mpich.
