Hardware prerequisites
Network connection : preferably 1000 Mbit/sec.
Memory requirements: if L is the number of (hybrid) links (in millions), then the memory (in Mb) needed tu run the epm engine is roughly:
50 L + 15
For instance, 800 000 links require 55 Mb, which easily fits into the small memory of a Raspberry pi SBC.
A list of reasonable SBC hardware is compared here.
A high end option is Parallela from Adapteva.
Software Prerequisites
Linux (ubuntu preferably)
JRE (or JDK), for instance OpenJdk 7
gcc compiler
NFS client and server (sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-server)
Step 1
Runs on a source machine (which is a "full Assothink machine", according to Matscape's standards (MMU (or MMV or MMM))).
Uses directory /media/server.Alex.MMU/epm/ (the 'epm reference dir', refdir)
The script is epm preinstall .
It creates several system files under directory $refdir/install/ .
This has to be done just once if many machines have to be installed.
Step 2
On the target machine:
- set host name MMn
- define a user (standard name and password)
- set IP address and check network accessibility
- NFS export $HOME directory ( /etc/exports)
- NFS mount /media/server.Alex.MMU/
- replicate /etc/hosts file (from refdir/install), check the hosts pingability
- replicate /etc/fstab.matscape.local file, replicate it at the end of fstab
- check the auto mounting of /media/server.Alex.MMU/ /media/MMU/ and /media/MMM/ at least
- run script /media/MMU/Scripts/epm install (it replicates into target machine .bashrc, .alex, Scripts dir, assothink.epm dir...)
- restart new bash instance
- check clock network synchro
- setup and check accessibility of target machine through "Remote Desktop Viewer"
- check generic things
- check epm java engine process (epm java engine mainly) (epm J)
- compile C version of epm (epm gcc), check epm C engine (epm C)
- launch epm daemon (epm d)
Step 3
On the source machine:
- check NFS access to target machine
- check access to remote machine using rsh
- check access to remote machine through "Remote Desktop Viewer"
- launch epm controller
- check performance of new machine (java and C)
