 A.Install Linpack
1.Dowload  linpack package from Intel website
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-linpack-download
2.Copy l_lpk_p_11.2.0.003 to SLES OS
3.Unzip package
#tar zxvf  l_lpk_p_11.2.0.003.tgz

B.Install Intel® C++ Composer XE 2013
1.Dowload  Composer XE package from Intel website
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/redistributable-libraries-for-the-intel-c-and-fortran-composer-xe-2013-sp1-for-linux
2.Copy l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.4.211_redist to SLES OS
3.Unzip package
#tar zxvf  l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.4.211_redist.tgz
4.Install composer xe package
#cd l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.4.211_redist
#./install.sh
accept

C.Install micperf
1.Install micperf rpm
#cd /mpss-3.4.1/perf
#rpm -ivh *.rpm
2.Setup micperf
#cd /usr/src/micperf/micp-3.4.1
#./setup.py install

D.Setting environment
#export PYTHONPATH=/usr/src/micperf/micp-3.4.1
#echo $PYTHONPATH
#export MKLROOT=/linpack_11.2.0
#echo $MKLROOT
#source /root/bin/compileravars.sh intel64

E.Running Linpack
Running linpack with default parameter
#micprun -k linpack

The deafualt parameter will be
micprun -k linpack -p '--matrix_size 36864 --num_rep 3--lead_dim 36928'
The performance result is GFlops

Try to run linpack with different parameter to find out best GFlops value
#micprun -k linpack -p '--matrix_size 10000 --num_rep 3 --lead_dim 10000'

How to check sata link under linux

#dmesg | grep -i sata | grep link 

How to text TXT under linux (Old)

How to text TXT under linux     2015/06/03 update

TXT only support in BIOS legacy mode , not support UEFI mode.

1. Install trousuers and trousers-devel

#rpm –ivh trousers-devel-0.3.4-4.e16.x86_64.rpm

2. Unzip the tboot source code to a folder under root

Type the following command:

# tar -xzvf tboot.1.8.tar.bz2 -C /root

# cd /root/tboot-1.8/

3. Browse to the tboot source code and execute “make all”

This compile successfully and generates a tboog.gz image which needs to be copied to the /boot folder.

Type the following command:

#cp /root/tboot-1.8/tboot/tboot.gz /boot/

#cp /root/tboot-1.8/tboot/tboot.syms /boot/

4. Once tboot and the Linux kernel 3.1.5 is compiled and images are generated we should modify the menu.lst file in /boot folder. Just copy the existing boot entry and modify it like this 

a)      title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Sever  + TBOOT

b)       root (hd0,0)  --- # use what is there in your original menu.lst

c)       kernel /tboot.gz logging=serial,vga,memory

d)      module /vmlinuz-*.*.* root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00  ro # use what is there in your original menu.lst

e)       module /initramfs-*.*.*.img # use what is there in your original menu.lst

1.1.1.1.2                    Booting tboot

Now reboot the system and select the Linux with Intel® Trusted Execution technology from the boot loader. Now your system should boot with a set of tboot messages to the Linux login prompt.

1.1.1    R. TXT.MeasuredLaunchEnvironment.Function

logged in as root

Proceed to the folder where tboot was extracted and compiled.

Browse to /tboot-1.6/utils folder

Execute the txt-stat utility in the terminal by typing “./txt-stat”<ENTER>   (dump log: ./txt-stat >> *.log)

Verify if the log mentions “Measured Launch : TRUE”

MIC card test under RHEL
Dowload  latest MPSS package from Intel website
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-manycore-platform-software-stack-mpss#lx34rel
1.Intall driver MPSS
2.#tar xvf mpss-3.2-rhel-6.0.tar
3.#yum install*.rpm          
4.#modprobe mic (If you can not load mic modules, please use old mpss version , mpss 3.4 has issue)
5.#micctrl --initdefaults

6.#micctrl --sshkeys=root mic0

7.#service mpss restart
8.#ssh mic0
If you cannot ssh to mic0, please use ip
#ifconfig=>check mic0 ip
#ssh x.x.x.x (mic0 ip)
9.#mkdir tmp

10.#exit
11.#scp ./KncPtuGen mic0:tmp

12.#ssh mic0 (password: "your SUT's password")

13.#cd tmp

14.#./KncPtuGen -P100
If system reboot automatically, please stop bmc watchdog
#service bmc-watchdog stop
If you want to retest, please go to step 7
