About this manual

This manual describes the high‑performance computing cluster built from 14 IBM HS21 blade servers and 2 IBM x3650 servers. It details the hardware configuration, network setup (Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 G InfiniBand), and provides the external and internal IP addressing scheme.

The guide explains how to log in via SSH, upload and compile MPI programs in C, C++, and Fortran, run them with mpirun, and use common Linux commands and file‑permission utilities such as chmod, chgrp, and chown. This manual is written in Chinese.
