Compilation problem on Intel Xeon E5472

#1 Post by srccmsu » Mon May 19, 2008 11:26 am

Dear All,

I compiled the program with mpif90: cluster Intel Xeon E5472 / Linux x86-64 / mvapich -rev2368 (Infiniband) / Intel Compiler 10.1.008.

Executable file vasp is creating. However, I received bad output result (this example solve on other cluster without problems):

My Makefile for 4.6.31 version:

.SUFFIXES: .inc .f .f90 .F
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Makefile for Intel Fortran compiler for ITANIUM 2 systems
#
# The makefile was tested only under Linux on Intel platforms
#
#
# 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 and properly functioning 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) most desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 3a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, Itanium)
# http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
# this is really excellent when you use Intel CPU's
#
# 3b) or obtain the atlas based BLAS routines
# http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
# you certainly need atlas on the Athlon, since the mkl
# routines are not optimal on the Athlon.
# If you want to use atlas based BLAS, check the lines around LIB=
#
# 3c) a little bit faster than mkl and atls (5 GFlops on Itanium 2, 1.3 GHz)
# Kazushige Goto's BLAS

# You must *not* compile mpi with g77/f77, because f77/g77
# appends *two* underscores to symbols that contain already an
# underscore (i.e. MPI_SEND becomes mpi_send__). The ifc/efc
# compiler however appends only one underscore.
# Precompiled mpi version usually do not work !!!
#
# lam-7.0.4 has been used and configured using
# ./configure -prefix /opt/libs/lam-7.0.4 -with-fc=efc --with-f77flags=-O \
# --without-romio
#
# please note that you might be able to use a lam or mpich version
# compiled with f77/g77, but then you need to add the following
# options: -Msecond_underscore (compilation) and -g77libs (linking)

# !!! Please do not send me any queries on how to install MPI, we will

Compilation problem on Intel Xeon E5472

#2 Post by admin » Mon May 19, 2008 1:19 pm

please check if that problem can be solved if hyper-threading is switched off explicitely (OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 in your shell-rc file).
all reasonable parallelization is done explicitely in the VASP-code, further 'automatic' parallelization by the compiler may lead to errors like the one you encountered.

Dear Admin,

Very thanks for your replay. But cluster Intel Xeon E5472 have not hyper-threading. Can you help me understand what is another problem here?

Dear Thomas,

I'm very grateful to you for your help. The program VASP_4.6.34 runs at serial and parallel modes now.

Yours sincerely,

srccmsu
