problems with fftw (5.2.8 and 5.2.11)

#1 Post by fabio.chiatti » Wed Dec 01, 2010 3:00 pm

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem when trying to compile VASP5.2 (either 5.2.8 or 5.2.11) in parallel. When I use the Juergen Furthmueller, everything is ok but I noticed that, when using this fft, VASP5.2 takes more time to calculate than VASP4.6 (compiled with the fftw).
When I compile with the fftw, this is the error printed:


/opt/Openmpi-ifort_11.1/bin/mpif77 -FR -lowercase -assume byterecl -O2 -c fftmpiw.f90
fftmpiw.f90(59): error #5102: Cannot open include file 'fftw3.f'

include 'fftw3.f'
--------------^
compilation aborted for fftmpiw.f90 (code 1)
make: *** [fftmpiw.o] Error 1





Here is the Makefile:

.SUFFIXES: .inc .f .f90 .F
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Makefile for Intel Fortran compiler for Pentium/Athlon/Opteron
# bases systems
# we recommend this makefile for both Intel as well as AMD systems
# for AMD based systems appropriate BLAS and fftw libraries are
# however mandatory (whereas they are optional for Intel platforms)
#
# The makefile was tested only under Linux on Intel and AMD platforms
# the following compiler versions have been tested:
# - ifc.7.1 works stable somewhat slow but reliably
# - ifc.8.1 fails to compile the code properly
# - ifc.9.1 recommended (both for 32 and 64 bit)
# - ifc.10.1 partially recommended (both for 32 and 64 bit)
# tested build 20080312 Package ID: l_fc_p_10.1.015
# the gamma only mpi version can not be compiles
# using ifc.10.1
#
# it might be required to change some of library pathes, since
# LINUX installation vary a lot
# Hence check ***ALL*** options in this makefile very carefully
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# BLAS must be installed on the machine
# there are several options:
# 1) very slow but works:
# retrieve the lapackage from ftp.netlib.org
# and compile the blas routines (BLAS/SRC directory)
# please use g77 or f77 for the compilation. When I tried to
# use pgf77 or pgf90 for BLAS, VASP hang up when calling
# ZHEEV (however this was with lapack 1.1 now I use lapack 2.0)
# 2) more desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 2a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, PD, PC2, Itanium)
# http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
# this is really excellent, if you use Intel CPU's
#
# 2b) probably fastest SSE2 (4 GFlops on P4, 2.53 GHz, 16 GFlops PD,
# around 30 GFlops on Quad core)

problems with fftw (5.2.8 and 5.2.11)

#2 Post by alex » Thu Dec 02, 2010 7:52 am

Hello Fabio,

the compiler searches the included file fftw3.h and can't find it. So go to your fftw directory, subdirectory include. There will be the file. Copy to your vasp-dir.
You can also compile with -I$PATH_TO_FFTW. Should also work.

Cheers,

alex

Thank you very much, Alex!
That problem has been solved, but a new one has occured.
I can't understand what is going on...

Why are you using an MKL interface???

I cannot answer this technical question as the fft library was not compiled by me. What I know is that the previous VASP4.6 Makefile could successfully be compiled using the same library and now I can't anymore... why?

Hello Fabio,

why? Things change. From 4.6.34 to 5.2.11 there are years and years in development. Don't worry too much about the past and try not to figure out why it's not working anymore. Learn from that and look forward. You are going to learn more!

Question, before we start digging deep: Are you using Intel or AMD CPUs?

Background: if you are using AMD it's probably not the best idea to link versus MKL ...

Cheers,

alex

I'm sorry I didn't tell you before: it's an INTEL CPU :-)

When linking to the furthmuller everything is ok. I can compile VASP and make calculations (that's actually what I'm doing right now), but it is much slower than the previous 4.6 (as I'm not using the fftw).

What happens if you link without the mkl-fftw3 wrapper? I don't think you'll actually need it.

DftiCreateDescriptor_d_1d seems to be an internal mkl interface. It might be not defined in your wrapper library. the file with the definition is mkl_dfti.h in your mkl distribution.

Cheers,

alex
