Logging into the system using ssh

Logging into the system from Windows:

Logging into the system from Unix:

Start the secure shell client: Start->Programs->SSH Secure Shell->Secure Shell Client Connect to willow: From the secure shell window, click Quick Connect. Then, from the Connect to Remote Host pop-up window, enter: Hostname : HostName User Name: UserName Click Connect.

If you are a windows user and you want to download ssh; Go to IT Helpdesk @ http://www.olemiss.edu/helpdesk/resources.html#software and click on the SSH Secure Shell 3.1 link. If you are a Unix user, ssh will come with the operating system

Start the Terminal: Finder Utilities Terminal Type the following command: ssh UserName@HostName Enter your password

Simple Fortran Program

c This program adds two numbers and displays the result program add double precision a,b,c write(*,*) 'Input two numbers (include a decimal point)' read (*,*) a,b c=a+b write (*,*) 'The sum of the numbers you entered is', c stop end

More detailed look into Compilers and Compiling commands

Fortran Compilers at UM/MCSR:

MIPSPro Fortran Compilers, version 7.4, on sweetgum Portland Group and MPICH Fortran compilers on mimosa Intel Fortran Compilers(7.1, 8.0 and 9.0) on redwood GUI g77 on willow Suns Forte f90 on willow

Sweetgum

MIPSPro Fortran Compilers, version 7.4

To compile with f77 on sweetgum, enter:

f77 filename.for f90 filename.for

To compile with f90 on sweetgum, enter:

Mimosa

Portland Group and MPICH Fortran compilers

To compile with the MPICH Fortran compilers, enter:

/usr/local/apps/pgi-5.2/linux86/5.2/bin/pgf77 filename.for

To compile with the PGI SDK compilers, enter: /usr/local/apps/pgi-6.1/linux86/6.1/bin/pgf90 filename.for

Redwood

Intel Fortran Compilers(7.1, 8.0 and 9.0)

Before using the Fortran Compiler on redwood, you must first load the appropriate Intel compiler module. Then, to compile:

ifc filename.for ifort filename.for

if using the 7.1 compiler if using the 8.0 or 9.0 compilers

Loading the appropriate Intel Compiler Module

Several versions/builds of Intel compilers are available on redwood. To compile, you must first pick which compiler version module you want to load, then load it. Before you can use the module command, you must source the correct setup file for your shell.

Then you use the module command:

. /usr/share/modules/init/sh (if using ssh) (There should be a space between . and /opt) module module module module list (to see if any other versions of compiler modules are loaded) purge (to unload any other versions of compiler modules) list (to verify that other versions were successfully unloaded) avail (to see what versions of compiler modules are available to load)

For example, to load the latest 9.1 version of the F Compilers:

These are the names of the modules and the compiler versions they correspond to:

module load f91 module list

intel-compilers.7.1.037 intel-compilers.8.0.042 intel-compilers.8.0.046 intel-compilers.9.0.027 intel-compilers.9.1.046

7.1 8.0 8.0 9.0 9.1

Willow

Suns Forte f90

To compile with f90, enter: f90 filename.for If there are no compilation errors this creates an executable file called a.out. To execute the Fortran program, enter: ./a.out.

GUI g77 To compile with g77, enter:

g77 filename.for If there are no compilation errors this creates an executable file called a.out. To execute the Fortran program, enter: ./a.out.

More about Compiling Commands

If there are no compilation errors, the previously mentioned Fortran Commands create an executable file called a.out. To execute the Fortran program, enter: ./a.out. To create an executable file with another filename, use the o flag, for example:

f90 o exefilename filename.for

How to run a compiled files

The

compiling commands create an executable file known as a.out unless specified otherwise. execute your program, type: ./a.out and press Enter.

MCSR Fortran Compilers

MCSR's Fortran compilers and platforms are available for instructional or research use for all students, faculty, and staff of Mississippi's eight public universities. Users should decide which compiler is best suited for their application. Compilers on SUN are for fast jobs with a quick turn around, while compilers on sweetgum and magnolia are designed for larger, more computationally intensive jobs.

MCSR Accounts

MCSR is pleased to provide free computer accounts on redwood, sweetgum, and mimosa for any student, faculty, or research staff member at any of Mississippi's 8 publicly funded universities.
