XL Fortran

User's Guide (PDF)

This document describes Version 9.1 of IBM® XL Fortran Enterprise Edition and explains how to compile, link, and run programs that are written in the Fortran language.

Compiler Reference [ v10 (PDF) ]

This document describes the IBM® XL Fortran Enterprise Edition V10.1 for AIX® compiler and explains how to set up the compilation environment and how to compile, link, and run programs written in the in the Fortran language.

Language Reference [ v9 (PDF) ]

This document defines the syntax, semantics, and restrictions you must follow to write valid XL Fortran programs.

Visual Age C/C++

C Compiler Reference

The Compiler Reference describes the various compiler options, and built-in functions available to you in VisualAge C.

C++ Compiler Reference

The Compiler Reference describes the various compiler options, pragmas, and built-in functions available to you in VisualAge C++ Professional.

C/C++ Language Reference

The C/C++ Language Reference describes the syntax, semantics, and IBM implementation of the C and C++ programming languages.

This book describes common programming tasks and how to accomplish them using , VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX.

IBM Parallel Environment

Introduction (PDF)

This book provides suggestions and guidance for using the IBM Parallel Environment for AIX to develop and run Fortran, C, and C++ parallel applications. To make this book a little easier to read, the name IBM Parallel Environment for AIX has been abbreviated to PE throughout.

In this book, you will find information on basic parallel programming concepts and the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. You will also find information about the application development tools that are provided by PE such as the Parallel Operating Environment and the Parallel Debugger.

Operation and Use, Volume 1 Using the Parallel Operating Environment v4.2 (PDF)

This book describes the IBM Parallel Environment (PE) for AIX program product and its Parallel Operating Environment (POE). It shows how to use POE's facilities to compile, execute, and analyze parallel programs.

This book concentrates on the actual commands and how to use them, as opposed to the writing of parallel programs. For this reason, you should use this book in conjunction with IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: MPI Subroutine Reference and IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: MPI Programming Guide. New users should refer to IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: Introduction, for basic and introductory information on PE.

Operation and Use, Volume 2 Using the Parallel Operating Environment v4.2 (PDF)

This book describes the facilities and tools for the IBM® Parallel Environment (PE) for AIX program product and how to use them to debug and analyze parallel programs. Specifically, it contains information on PE's debuggers and profiling tools.

This book concentrates on the actual commands, graphical user interfaces, and use of these tools as opposed to the writing of parallel programs. For this reason, you should use this book in conjunction with IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: MPI Programming Guide, (GC23-3894) and IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: MPL Programming and Subroutine Reference (GC23-3893).

Messages (PDF)

This book is designed to help any user of IBM® Parallel Environment for AIX 5L (PE) who needs to know what a message means and what should be done in response to that message. This book lists all of the error messages generated by the PE software and components and describes a likely solution.

MPI Programming Guide (PDF) [HTML]

This book provides information about parallel programming, as it relates to IBM®s implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for Parallel Environment for AIX (PE)

MPI Subroutine Reference (PDF)

This book describes the subroutines provided by IBM's implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for Parallel Environment for AIX (PE). Programmers can use these subroutines when writing parallel applications.

LAPI Programming Guide (PDF)

This book includes conceptual, procedural, and reference information about the low-level application programming interface (LAPI). This book is intended for programmers who want to write and run LAPI programs.

ESSL/PESSL

ESSL Guide and Reference

The Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library (ESSL) is a set of high-performance mathematical subroutines. ESSL can be used with Fortran, C, and C++ programs. This book is a guide and reference manual for using ESSL in doing application programming.

PESSL Guide and Reference

The IBM Parallel Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library (Parallel ESSL) is a set of high-performance mathematical subroutines. This book is a guide and reference manual for use in doing application programming in Fortran, C, and C++. It includes an overview of Parallel ESSL and guidance information for coding and running your program, as well as using error handling, reference information for coding each subroutine calling sequence.

This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the ESSL Guide and Reference. Where information is identical between Parallel ESSL and ESSL, such as matrix storage modes, this book references the appropriate section of the ESSL Guide and Reference.

LoadLeveler

Diagnosis and Messages Guide (PDF)

This book is designed for any user of LoadLeveler® who needs to resolve a system message and respond to that message. This book lists all of the error messages generated by the LoadLeveler software and its components and describes a likely solution for each message. Informational messages are not included.

Using and Administering, Version 3, Release 3.4 (PDF)

This book describes how to configure and administer a LoadLeveler cluster environment, and to submit and manage jobs that run on machines in the cluster.
