General Information

LS-DYNA runs in parallel on all available platforms, using two fundamentally different methods:

• Shared Memory Parallel (SMP)
  Information is communicated between processors using sharing memory.
• Message Passing Interface (MPI)
  Information is communicated using industry standard network-based MPI protocols.

There are different executables for LS-DYNA, depending on whether SMP or MPI is used. In addition, there are two different executable depending on whether floating point calculations are performed in single precision or in double precision. For example, LS-DYNA Version 971, Revision 5.1 executables are named as follows:

SMP executables can run on most systems without additional system software. So there are generally two SMP executables for a given hardware/OS combination. A downloadable file such as ls971_s_R5_1_0_amd64_redhat46.gzis a gzip archive containing a single executable:

1. ls971_s_R5_1_0_amd64_redhat46

MPI executables require the presence of an installed MPI subsystem. There are single and double precision versions of LS-DYNA for each supported MPI subsystem. A downloadable file such as mpp971_s_R5.1_64536_PGI_linux86-64_OpenMPI-141.tar.gzis a gzipped tar archive containing two files:

1. mpp971_s_R5.1_64536_PGI_linux86-64_OpenMPI-141
2. mpp971_s_R5.1_64536_PGI_linux86-64_OpenMPI-141.l2a

Other options may further increase the number of available archives.

MPP-DYNA Version 971, Revision 6.0.0

1. BUILD INFORMATION: Contains Hardware/OS/Compiler information for all BUILDS
2. RUNNING MPP-DYNA: MPP-DYNA executables must be started using MPI commands. Read about this in the HOWTO EXECUTE readme file.
3. SET UP: This README describes the archive contents, and how to configure your system to use run dynamically linked executables.
4. LOCAL LICENSE: Be sure to read the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS if you are using the program with a local (i.e., node-locked) license.
5. NETWORK LICENSE: To use LS-DYNA with a network license, read sections VII and VIII in the LSTC License Software INSTALLATION guide.
6. USER DEFINED MATERIALS: If the UM link appears to the left of the archive name, then a USERMAT Development Package is available for download by clicking on the UM link which preceeds the link to the MPP-DYNA archive. To link with your user-defined material modules, you must use the same compilers and operating system used to build the corresponding MPP-DYNA executable. For complete information about the compilers and OS we used, please consult the detailed README file. We do not support other compilers, operating systems, or versions of MPI other than those listed.
7. HYBRID: The HYBRID version of MPP-DYNA uses a combination of SMP and MPP.
