Debabrata , The Berkeley UPC compiler is mainly written for POSIX-like environments, which does not include native Windows XP. However, Cygwin is a POSIX-like environment for Windows that is sufficient to allow Berkeley UPC (and many other applications written for Linux or other Unix) to run. Cygwin is a substantial infrastructure and that accounts for the bulk of the 1.2GB download. If you have already installed Cygwin on your machine then you could download just the source code for Berkeley UPC (under 7MB) and build from that. -Paul Debabrata Midya wrote: > Hi upc-users, > > Thanks in advance. > > I am Deb, Statistician at NSW Department of Services, Technology and > Administration, Sydney, Australia. > > I am new to this group. > > I am currently using gcc <TDM-1 mingw32> 4.4.1 on Windows XP and I > have some experience of using OpenMP. > > I need your assistance to start with UPC on Windows. > > I have found in the web site of > http://upc.lbl.gov/download/binaries.shtml#windows that *Berkeley UPC > v2.10.0 Binary Installer* - Installs the Cygwin > <http://www.cygwin.com/> environment, and a prebuilt version of the > Berkeley UPC runtime.
