Repast HPC1.0.1 instance running Summary

Repast HPC1.0.1 instance running Summary

☞Running repastHPC instances requires two prerequisites:

1. MPI

2. Boost Library

☞Preparation steps before running:

1. Install MPI (Procedure omitted)

2. Install the Boost Library

① Download the boost package ,:

Http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.44.0/

② Decompress the compressed package downloaded above and double-click the bootstrap. bat file in it. After this step, a "bjam" tool will be generated, which can be used to compile the boost library.

③ To compile boost, you need to let boost know where our MPI is located. Therefore, you need to modify the following file before compiling.

In the decompressed boost folder, press tools \ build \ v2 \ tools \ mpi. jam to find mpi. jam, and

Localcluster_pack_path_native = "C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack ";

Replace it with the directory where the currently installed MPI is located, as shown in figure

Localcluster_pack_path_native = "C: \ Program Files \ MPICH2 ";

④ Compile with the bjam tool generated in step 2 and use the following command (this step takes 30-40 minutes ):

Bjam -- with-mpi -- with-serialization -- with-filesystem -- with-system install

After completing this step, the compilation is completed, and the boost file is also copied to C: \ Boost,
