newbie question

[deadwait]

hi, i was wondering if i could use pelicanHPC for running some programs which need high cpu, and ram,
as i was searching on the net kerrighed seemed to perfect as openmosix is closed now, but when i tried just a boot of pelican hpc i loved the fact that it was so simple to start up,
i just have this question , do i need to recompile the software which i am intending to use to work with pelicanhpc

Hi,
Well, unless it has been compiled statically, then yes you'll probably have to recompile. But the same holds true for all distros. There's no PelicanHPC specific problem here.

Hi, as I am also a newbie and interested in the same thing, I'll post in here.

I run model simulations with Modelica, and as for some models it takes a lot of time I thought of using Pelican.

There is a linux version of Modelica, but I think it won't get parallelized.
Modelica is a language for modeling purposes, and to evaluate the models it compiles into C code and then executes.

I've been reading a lot in this forum, and, I have one question:
As modelica - openmodelica- is opensource, if I compile it somehow using mpicc or similar, it will get paralellized?

Thank you!

No, it's not that simple, unfortunately. For parallelization using MPI, the source code has to include specific instructions. There are some compilers that can automatically parallelize certain types of code, but that is a different approach from what PelicanHPC does. Such compilers usually cost a good deal of money. To get a benefit from PelicanHPC, the application has to use MPI.
