7.1
Hardware and Software Requirements
The following components are required to use the library successfully:
• Operating system: Preferably Unix based (Solaris, Linux, AIX, Irix, etc.)
• Standard tools: MPI library.
• Fortran 90 and C compilers, preferably native to the operating system. However, the
cross-platform gnu compilers should work as well.
7.2
Library Components & Installation
The DMSM library is distributed in the form of source code. This archive can easily be
extracted via the tar command. All files are expanded into a single directory to avoid
complicated installation procedures.
For the Fortran version of the library, there is only one component that includes all subroutines, functions, and modules. This is called dmsm.f90. For the C version, additional
header files are required. The C components are called dmsm.c and dmsm.h.
