Downloading

Username and password

In order to download the files of the ADF package, a username and password are required. If you are a current user but have forgotten your password, please contact us (admin@scm.com). In case you do not have a license for ADF yet, please visit the Pricing & Ordering part of our website.

Supported platforms

The ADF package is available, and has been tested, for the many different platforms. If your platform is not listed, please contact SCM and let us know about the hardware and operating system combination you would like to use. In that case you can use the ADF2000 version if your platform is supported for that version.

Platform-independent Resources

The ADF database (AtomicData), example runs (Examples) and source files are platform independent, so you have to download these only once. If you want to compile the package yourself you also need the source code.

If your license does not include source codes you are not authorized to download the Source files.

Platform-independent Resources

Platform-dependent Files

You may install the ADF package as follows:

To install the executables that we have already compiled for you: download the executables corresponding to your platform.
To use the source codes and compile the package yourself: download the Install package. Note: to compile the source you need the appropriate compilers.

Platform	Executables	Install
Compaq (Alpha) OSF1 (True64 4.0)	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=ALPHA)	v2002.01
NEC Itanium with Linux	v2002.01 (MPI)	v2002.01
IBM RS6K (xlf7)	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=AIX46K or MPI version)	v2002.01
Pentium Linux	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=LINUX)	v2002.01
PowerPC Mac OS X	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=MACOSX)	v2002.01
HP	v2002.01 (MPI)	v2002.01
SGI IRIX 6.2	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=SGI6)	v2002.01
SGI IRIX 6.5	v2002.01 (MPI)	v2002.01
Sun	v2002.01 (PVM_ARCH=SUN4SOL2)	v2002.01

We support in principle 3 varieties:

The parallel version with PVM message passing
The parallel version with MPI message passing
The non-parallel or serial version

The PVM version can be used also as the serial version and will in fact operate so if you have no PVM installation on your machine. Just ignore the messages about the missing PVM daemon.
If you need an MPI version, or a PVM version for any of the other platforms, it will have to be compiled. Contact us for further information.

How to proceed after downloading

Follows a concise guide for installation. For more details consult the Installation manual.

Step 1: Set the environment variables for the ADF package.

We recommend that you define them in your shell startup script (.cshrc, .login, .zshenv, ...)

# Environment variables with typical values (you may need different values) using C-shell syntax.
# Add these to your .cshrc

# These environment variables are always needed:

setenv ADFHOME $HOME/adfhome               # the master directory of the ADF package
setenv ADFBIN $ADFHOME/bin                 # the directory for run scripts and program binaries
setenv ADFRESOURCES $ADFHOME/atomicdata    # the location of the ADF database

setenv SCMLICENSE $ADFHOME/license         # the location of your SCM license file (when you get it)
setenv NSCM 16                             # the default number of parallel processes to use

# These environment variables are needed for PVM installations only:

setenv TEMPDIR /tmp                        # the scratch directory for parallel child processes
setenv SCMSPAWNSCRIPT  $ADFBIN/adfs        # the script to spawn the parallel child processes
setenv PVM_ARCH SGI6                       # the PVM architecture name
setenv PVM_ROOT /usr/local/bin/pvm3        # the master directory of your PVM installation

Step 2: Create the $ADFHOME directory and put all the downloaded files in it

# Make the adfhome directory, and move the downloaded files to it.

mkdir $ADFHOME
mv *.gz $ADFHOME

Step 3: Unpack the downloaded files

# move to the adfhome directory, and unpack the files

cd $ADFHOME
gunzip *.gz
foreach f (*.tar)
  tar -xf $f
end

Step 4: run configure

Execute the installation-script "configure" while you are in $ADFHOME.

# run configure 

cd $ADFHOME
Install/configure

# answer the questions from the script ...

Step 5: If you have the source code: run make

# make (only when you have the sources)

cd $ADFHOME
make

Step 6: Generate license information

To run the programs successfully you need a license file, which WE create for you.
To do so we need some technical information that the program generates.

# generate license information

$ADFBIN/adf << EOR
EOR

and follow the instructions (send us the information just printed).

Step 7: Finally...

After receiving your license file, copy it to $SCMLICENSE. That is the place where the programs will be looking for it.
If everything is working, you can now remove the tar files.
