Recommendations for Porting Open Source Software (OSS) to Blue Gene/P
Overview Migrating applications from a Linux cluster to IBM's Blue Gene/P can be a beneficial effort, but it is not an entirely painless effort. Each of the Open Source Software (OSS) components that the application is dependent upon requires a separate port - some of which will be easy and others which might not. The degree of difficulty derives from the fact that Blue Gene/P does not come with the OSS that is installed with any standard Linux distribution. Additionally Blue Gene/P requires the developer to compile and debug the application on a POWER-based front-end node that runs Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10.
