The Asynchronous Transfer Library provides a common C interface to transfer files between layers in an HPC storage hierarchy.
For details on its usage, see doc/README.md. For API details, see AXL User API docs.
AXL uses the CMake build system and we recommend out-of-source builds.
git clone https://github.com/ECP-VeloC/AXL.git
mkdir build
mkdir install
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install ../AXL
make
make install
make test
Some useful CMake command line options:
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[path]
: Place to install the AXL library-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug/Release]
: Build with debugging or optimizations-DMPI
: Build support for MPI collective interfaceFor building with IBM BB API (optional):
-DAXL_ASYNC_API=IBM_BBAPI
: Enable IBM BB API-DWITH_BBAPI_PREFIX=/opt/ibm/bb
: Install path to IBM BB libraryAXL was originally part of the SCR Library.
