Installation Types

The provided setup.exe program supports several different installation types. The one you choose depends upon which subsystem(s) need to be installed on a particular machine. Here we summarize the supported installation types. Note that the Custom setup type should be used if more than one major component needs to be installed on a single machine. For example, it would be common to install the Java Server and the Global Manager on one machine.

• Compute Node - Installs the device driver, Context Manager, sample network configuration file, and Network control program.
• Global Manager - Installs the global resource manager service.
• Development Libraries - Installs libraries, include files, examples to compile and link HPVM applications.
• Java Server - Installs into your WWW server directory the class files for the Java client and the corresponding back-end server
• Source Code - If licensed, the complete source code will be installed onto the target system
• Custom - If more than one of the above installations needs to be performed on the same machine, then choose components in the custom setup.
• Workstation Setup - This allows HPVM development and testing on a single workstation. This does not require any high-performance network cards (but does require TCP/IP to be installed). All necessary components are installed for a stand-alone HPVM installation.
