     8000

     Processor Restrictions

     A TK50 Tape Drive is required for standalone MicroVAX 2000 and
     VAXstation 2000 systems.

     Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     VAX FORTRAN Compiler Kit:



                                     2

 


     VAX FORTRAN High-Performance Option,             SSA 32.67.02-A
     Version 1.2



     Disk space required for      8,900 blocks
     installation:
                                  (4,552 Kbytes)

     Disk space required for      6,900 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (3,528 Kbytes)

     These counts refer to the disk space required on the system
     disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending
     on the user's system environment, configuration, and software
     options.

     Memory Requirements for DECwindows Support:

     The minimum supported memory for this application running in
     a standalone DECwindows environment with both the client and
     server executing on that same system is 8 MB.

     Parallel Processing Hardware Requirements

     Multiprocessor VAX systems are required for proper execution
     of decomposed DO-loops. However, applications that are decom-
     posed using the VAX FORTRAN High-Performance Option parallel
     processing options will run on single processor VAX systems with
     a slight performance degradation.

     Vector Processing Hardware Requirements

     Vector-processor equipped VAX systems are required for proper
     execution of vectorized DO-loops. However, applications that are
     compiled using the VAX FORTRAN High-Performance Option vector-
     processing options will run on all VAX processors, using the VAX
     Vector Instruction Emulation Facility (VVIEF) that is supplied
     with VMS. Execution using the VVIEF may be significantly slower
     than recompiling for scalar execution.

     Version 1.2


     OPTIONAL HARDWARE

     HPO supports the optional vector processing hardware on the
     VAX 9000 and the VAX 6000 Model 400 and VAX 6000 Model 500
     processors.

     Floating point intensive applications should be run on configu-
     rations with the appropriate hardware support for the floating
     point data types being used. Consult the base operating system
     Software Product Description (SPD) for the Floating Point Ac-
     celerator or other floating point hardware appropriate for your
     configuration.

     CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

     This layered product is fully supported when installed on any
     valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restric-
     tions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's
     Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail
     any special hardware required by this product.

     *  V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the
        VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and in-
        clude CI, Ethernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations.

     SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

     For Systems Using Terminals (No DECwindows Interface):

     VMS Operating System V5.4 - V5.4-1A
     VAX FORTRAN V5.6

     For Workstations Running VWS:

     VMS Operating System V5.4 - V5.4-1A
     VMS Workstation Software V4.2 - V4.3
     VAX FORTRAN V5.6

     VAX FORTRAN High-Performance Option,             SSA 32.67.02-A
     Version 1.2


     VMS Operating System V5.4 - V5.4-1A (and necessary components of
     VMS DECwindows)
     VAX FORTRAN V5.6

     This product may run in either of the following ways:

     o  Stand-alone execution - running the X11 display server and
        the client application on the same machine.

     o  Remote execution - running the X11 display server and the
        client application on different machines.

     VMS DECwindows is part of the VMS Operating System but must
     be installed separately. Installation of VMS DECwindows gives
     you the option to install any or all of the following three
     components:

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (Base kit; includes runtime
        support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

     For stand-alone execution, the following DECwindows components
     must be installed on the machine:

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

     o  VMS DECwindows Programming Support

     For remote execution, the following DECwindows components must
     be installed on the machine:

     Server Machine

     o  VMS DECwindows Compute Server (runtime support)

     o  VMS DECwindows Device Support

                                     5

 


     VAX FORTRAN High-Performance Option,             SSA 32.67.02-A

     full functionality of this layered product:

     o  VMS Required Saveset

     o  Programming Support

     o  Utilities

     For more information on VMS classes and tailoring, refer to
     the VMS Operating System Software Product Description (SPD
     25.01.xx).
