DIET has many extensions (some of them are still) experimental. These extensions most often rely on external packages that need to be pre-installed. One should notice that some of those extensions offer concurrent functionalities. This explains the usage of configuration flags in order to obtain the compilation of the desired extensions.
DIET_BUILD_BLAS_EXAMPLES option activates the compilation of
the BLAS based DIET examples, as a sub-module of examples. The
BLAS 2.1 (Basic Linear
Algebra Subprograms) are high quality ``building block'' routines
for performing basic vector and matrix operations. Level 1 BLAS do
vector-vector operations, Level 2 BLAS do matrix-vector operations,
and Level 3 BLAS do matrix-matrix operations. Because the BLAS are
efficient, portable, and widely available, they're commonly used in
the development of high quality linear algebra software. DIET uses
BLAS to build demonstration examples of client/server. Note that
the option DIET_BUILD_BLAS_EXAMPLES can only be effective
when DIET_BUILD_EXAMPLES is enabled.
DIET_BUILD_BLAS_EXAMPLES is disabled by default.
DIET_USE_ALT_BATCH enables the transparent submission to
batch servers. See Chapter 6 for more
details.
DIET_USE_WORKFLOW enables the support of workflow. For the support
of workflows inside DIET, Xerces and Xqilla libraries are mandatory
(see http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/ and
http://xqilla.sourceforge.net/HomePage). For more details about the
workflow support in DIET see chapter 13.
DIET_WITH_MULTI_MA activates the so called MULTI Master Agent
support which allows the user to connect several MA for them to act
as bounded.
When this option is activated, such a bounded MA is allowed to search
for a SeD into the MA hierarchies it is connected to.
DIET_WITH_STATISTICS enables the generation of statistics logs.
The logs can be obtained for any element in the DIET hierarchy. To do
so, you have to define the DIET_STAT_FILE_NAME environment variable.
For instance, export DIET_STAT_FILE_NAME=/tmp/client then calling
a client will generate the statistics for the client in the /tmp/client
file.
