Bibliography


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.


Information formats

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:


Finding documentation on the World Wide Web

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.


Accessing PSSP documentation online

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.
