Intel Compiler floating license running in Linux system with NFS

[Cindy]

Hi, Friends,

I have 2 questions:

1:

If I am using Intel Compiler floating license (i.e. network license), can I just install Intel Compiler on the NFS server only and mount to client workstations (no need to install compiler on client workstations one by one)?

2:

I want to know whether Intel Compiler is self-contained, or it works relying on workstation'sOS binary&library. I mean in the compiler installation directory, are there any files link to OS files, like files under /usr, /var, /etcor /opt etc.?

Thank you for your kind help.

Cindy

Hi,
Thanks for using the forum.

1) I will check with the compiler team and get back on this.

2) Please run the following command from your command prompt:

ldd /opt/intel/composerxe/bin/icc

When I did that on my system, I got the following:

libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003ec0000000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003ec0400000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003ec0800000)

libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000003ec5c00000)

libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003ebfc00000)

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003ebec00000)

Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
This is getting back on your first question. The answer is, yes you can do that. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Regarding #2:

If I am not mistaken, Intel Compiler also relies on your GCC compiler installation for some binaries (AS, LD, and perhaps some others), standard C/C++ header files (such as stdio.h, etc), and libraries.

Depending on the kind of code you intend to write, you may also need headers from the Linux kernel source tree and some system libraries.
