Introduction
The Trimaran compiler
research infrastructure is used for research and investigation into
compiler as well as processor optimizations in Explicitly Parallel
Instruction Computing (EPIC), High-Performance Computing
Systems,Instruction-Level Parallelism, Compiler Optimizations and
Computer Architecture.
While installation has been tested on PA-RISC platforms running HPUX
and x86 platforms runing relatively ancient distributions of Linux (RHL
5.2,
6.x), these systems differ in quite a few aspects from current Linux
systems. Lets start of by examining the system requirements as stated
on the site:
- A GNU/Linux
system on an x86 processor. :For our installation, we'll be using
Redhat 9.0 or Fedora Core 1.0. Not
much difference between the two , except that RH 9.0 has been along a
little longer, and may be more stable. These instructions(barring the
rpm instructions) should work on almost every modern Linux distribution
- Atleast 300 MB installation space:Piece
of cake.
- TCL/Tk (version 8.0p2)
- Perl (version 5.0)
- GNU Make (version 3.77)
- IMake
- GNU gzip and GNU gunzip
- GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) (version
2.95.2 or 2.95.3)
- GNU ar and GNU ranlib (version
2.9.1)
- GNU emacs
- VCG
- xterm
- tcsh
Phew! A long list. Not to worry though. Of the listed packages, all
packages with the exception of VCG come pre-installed with RHL.
However, its important that all these packages are installed along with
their "devel" rpms as well. Without this , the Trimaran source will not
build.
