Command and Technical Reference, Volume 1
This bibliography helps you find product documentation related to the
RS/6000 SP hardware and software products.
You can find most of the IBM product information for RS/6000 SP products on
the World Wide Web. Formats for both viewing and downloading are
available.
PSSP documentation is shipped with the PSSP product in a variety of formats
and can be installed on your system. The man pages for public code that
PSSP includes are also available online.
Finally, this bibliography contains a list of non-IBM publications that
discuss parallel computing and other topics related to the RS/6000 SP.
Documentation supporting RS/6000 SP software licensed programs is no longer
available from IBM in hardcopy format. However, you can view, search,
and print documentation in the following ways:
- On the World Wide Web
- Online from the product media or the SP Resource Center
Most of the RS/6000 SP hardware and software books are available from the
IBM Web site at:
|http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries
You can view a book or download a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of
it. At the time this manual was published, the Web address of the |"RS/6000 SP Hardware and Software Books" page was:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/aix_resource/sp_books
However, the structure of the RS/6000 Web site can change over time.
On the same medium as the PSSP product code, IBM ships PSSP man pages, HTML
files, and PDF files. In order to use these publications, you must
first install the ssp.docs file set.
To view the PSSP HTML publications, you need access to an HTML document
browser such as Netscape. The HTML files and an index that links to
them are installed in the /usr/lpp/ssp/html directory. Once
installed, you can also view the HTML files from the RS/6000 SP Resource
Center.
If you have installed the SP Resource Center on your SP system, you can
access it by entering the /usr/lpp/ssp/bin/resource_center
command. If you have the SP Resource Center on CD-ROM, see the
readme.txt file for information about how to run it.
To view the PSSP PDF publications, you need access to the Adobe Acrobat
Reader. The Acrobat Reader is shipped with the AIX Bonus Pack and is
also freely available for downloading from the Adobe Web site at:
http://www.adobe.com
To successfully print a large PDF file (approximately 300 or more pages)
from the Adobe Acrobat reader, you may need to select the "Download Fonts
Once" button on the Print window.
