Hi all,
I plan to set up a libc6 based linux box with two processors on
the mainboard to speed up the execution of cyclic fortran routines.
I am currenlty involved with dynamilcal simulations in statistical
physics where two or more do-loops are nested together and executed a
very large number of times.
I run through parallel-processing howto but i need some quick hints,
since i am very new to this matter.
Since i will not buy a commercial fortran compiler, i am exploring the
possibility to translate to ada (the gnat gpl'd version) my routines
to get a parallel code.
My question is:
- will ada programs, given appropriate directives, run in parallel
on a two processor pc intel machine, provided that that the linux
kernel as been compiled setting SMP=1 in the makefile?
Finally, technical notes are welcome. My idea is to get two
celeron-intel processors with shared memory and pci bus. What about
heating of the chipset, when cpu intensive applications are run for
tens of hours?
thank you for your help
