Compiling with OpenMPI

Post by ckande »

For anyone interested in compiling with OpenMPI, this was the mk file that I used. The overall combination was:

- Intel 13.1
- Intel MKL (BLAS, LAPACAK, SCALAPACK, BLACS)
- OPENMPI-1.6.5 (./configure --with-tm --with-openib)
- FFTW-2.1.5 (./configure) (MKL FFTW2XF did not work for me)
- XERCES-2.8.0 (./runConfigure -p linux -r none -s -c icc -x icpc)

mk file

Code: Select all

# modules required: intel impi mkl fftw2
# Before using make, use:
# $ module load intel mkl fftw2
# $ module swap mvapich2 impi

Thanks for the post.
Also note a particular feature of openmpi: the parameters used with the mpirun command are important to determine which transport layer is used (e.g. infiniband vs gigabit ethernet). On our cluster, using the default parameters causes openmpi to use gigabit ethernet, which gives very poor performance for Qbox. In order to get infiniband to be used, the following parameters must be used with the mpirun command:

Code: Select all

--mca btl sm,self,openib
Note that these parameters may depend on the openmpi installation on your cluster.
