CLISP, MPICH2, and CL-MPI

Post by Codeless » Sat Jul 18, 2015 9:11 am

Hi All

First post here, so Hi all.

I've created a project with several raspberry Pis - stacked in a parallel cluster.

I've installed raspbian and MPICH2 (a message passing interface) following online tutorials (which is the limit of my linux abilities)

Somehow I also managed to install CLISP (after trying but failing to figure out how to install SBCL)

Apparently I require CL-MPI to link the CLISP to MPICH2 - try as I can, I don't seem to understand how to do this. Devoid of a step by step tutorial I'm lost. Every suggestion from days of Googling has lead me nowhere.

My goal is to learn LISP programming in a parallel environment. Purely out of curiosity.

Could anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

I think you might try to use clozure lisp rather than CLISP
Here is an interesting write-up of clozure (CCL) on Rasberry PI
http://lispm.de/ccl

Also, maybe try asking on relevant forums on stack exchange. Here is one thread I found https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... p-compiler


EDIT: Reason for Clozure's CCL is that it is far more actively maintained than CLISP these days.
