How to obtain the latest ParaDiS codes
It is highly recommended to create directory Codes under your home directory. Currently ParaDiS codes are maintained through Subversion. For current group members or collaborators, you can obtain the latest version of ParaDiS by typing the following,
cd ~/Codes svn co https://micro.stanford.edu/svn/ParaDiS [./dirname]
Directory ~/Codes/ParaDiS (or ~/Codes/dirname) will be created with latest checked out revision. It is your svn local repository. You can update your local ParaDiS codes by simply typing
cd ~/Codes/ParaDiS svn update
If you create a new file called newfile.c, you can add it to your local repository ~/Codes/ParaDiS
$ svn add newfile.c
or commit the change to ParaDiS codes after some modifications
$ svn commit newfile.c
How to compile ParaDiS
When you are under directory ~/Codes/ParaDiS, the basic compilation command is following
$ make
If you want to compile faster on a multiple processor machine, you can use command
$ make -j8
where 8 means the number of processors used for compilation.
If you want to re-compile ParaDiS, e.g. after some modification to source files, you need to "make clean" before "make"
$ make clean
