Running PGENESIS with XPVM

XPVM is a tool for monitoring the execution of a PVM application. To use XPVM with PGENESIS, the procedure to follow is:

  • Start XPVM (assuming it has been installed).
  • Select the events to be traced (the default is ok)
  • Spawn PGENESIS manually (i.e., not using the pgenesis script) from the XPVM console

    • PVM will look for the executable to be spawned in $HOME/$PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH. So you need to ensure that nxpgenesis and/or pgenesis exist there. They can be set correctly by running the pgenesis script. The full path to the directory in which PGENESIS should execute must be specified with the -execdir flag.
