Thanks a lot, I m implementing the passwordless cluster

I m also tryin different benchmarking software n got fed up of all the probs in all de sofwares i try. will list few:

1) VampirTrace

 I extracted de tar in /vt then followed following steps

$ ./configure --prefix=/vti
         [...lots of output...]
$ make all install

after this the FAQ on open-mpi.org asks to 'Simply replace the compiler wrappers to activate vampir trace' but does not tell how do i replace the compiler wrappers.

i try to run mpicc-vt -c hello.c -o hello

but it gives a error
bash: mpicc-vt: command not found


2) HPL

for this i didnt undersatnd the installation steps.

I extracted the tar in /hpl

Then is asks to 'create a file Make.<arch> in the  top-level directory' i created a file Make.i386.
then it says 'This file essentially contains the compilers
 and librairies with their paths to be used
' how do i put that?

after that it asks to run command make arch=i386
but it gives error
make[3]: Entering directory `/hpl'
make -f Make.top startup_dir     arch=i386
make[4]: Entering directory `/hpl'

/bin/sh: src/auxil: is a directory

then it enters shell prompt.

Please help, is there a simpler Benchmarking software?
i dont wanna give at this point :(
