Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libglobalarrays-dev on Debian 12.
What is libglobalarrays-dev
libglobalarrays-dev is:
Global Arrays is a portable Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) shared-memory programming environment for distributed and shared memory computers. It augments the message-passing model by providing a shared-memory like access to distributed dense arrays.
ARMCI provides one-sided remote memory operations used by GA.
ComEx (Communication Runtime for Extreme Scale) provides vector and strided interfaces to optimize performance of remote memory copy operations for non-contiguous data.
DRA (Disk Resident Arrays) is a parallel I/O library that maintains dense 2-dim arrays on disk.
SF (Shared Files) is a parallel I/O library that allows noncollective I/O to a parallel file.
EAF (Exclusive Access Files) is parallel I/O library that supports I/O to private files.
TCGMSG is a simple, efficient, but becoming obsolete message-passing library.
TCGMSG-MPI is a TCGMSG interface implementation on top of MPI and ARMCI.
MA is a dynamic memory allocator/manager for Fortran and C programs.
GA++ is a C++ binding for global arrays.
This package contains the static libraries and header files. Static libraries are provided for both OpenMPI and MPICH.
