= General hints for users of machines at the Kyushu University computing center  =
[http://www2.cc.kyushu-u.ac.jp]

The default shell at Kyushu University seems to be the {{{tcsh}}}. You should switch to {{{bash}}}-shell using the {{{chsh}}} command:
{{{
chsh -s /bin/bash
}}}
You will be prompted for your LDAP password.

Furthermore, edit file {{{$HOME/.bash_profile}}} and add the following lines:
{{{
# User specific environment and startup programs

PALM_BIN=$HOME/palm/current_version/trunk/SCRIPTS
export PALM_BIN

PATH=$PALM_BIN:$PATH
export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/netcdf/4.1.1/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
}}}

== tatara-system [http://www2.cc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/scp/system/general/CX/how_to_use] ==

The system is supported starting from revision r1097. You can find a configuration file adjusted for this system in the svn-repository under [source:/palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.tatara /palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.tatara]. Just copy this file to your working directory
{{{
cd ~/palm/current_version
cp trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.tatara .mrun.config
}}}
Don't forget to edit the file in order to replace the string {{{<replace by your tatara username>}}} with your respective username.

For the rest of the installation procedure just follow the instructions given on the [wiki:doc/install installation page].

== hayaka-system [http://www2.cc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/scp/system/general/FX10/how_to_use] ==

This system is supported starting from r.... The configuration file adjusted for this system can be found under [source:/palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.hayaka /palm/trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.hayaka]. Copy this file to your working directory
{{{
cd ~/palm/current_version
cp trunk/SCRIPTS/.mrun.config.hayaka .mrun.config
}}}
Don't forget to edit the file in order to replace the string {{{<replace by your hayaka username>}}} with your respective username.

=== Restrictions on hayaka ===

The hayaka login node only provides a cross compiler ({{{frtpx}}}) for the compute nodes. Therefore, the utility programs like {{{interpret_config}}} and {{{check_parameter_files}}} can be compiled, but they cannot be run. This requires to set appropriate {{{mrun}}} options
{{{
mrun ... -z -S ...
}}}
in order to switch off the parameter check ({{{-z}}}) and to interpret the configuration file directly from the script ({{{-S}}}).

Furthermore, since the compute nodes also do not provide a Korn-shell ({{{ksh}}}), the PALM scripts have to use the shebang {{{#!/bin/bash}}}. The respective modification of the scripts will automatically be done when compiling for the utility programs ({{{mbuild -u ...}}}).
