Charm++ parallel programming system

["Mikida, Eric P" <mikida2 AT illinois.edu>]

Ah, that is my fault. I was compiling with an older version of Charm++. The comlib module was deprecated, and is no longer included in Charm 6.7.1. I’ve pushed another fix that removes the -module comlib from Makefile so it should build fine now. For your second
 question, if it can’t find ckmulticast.h it probably means you didn’t build LIBS. Did you accidentally clean the build before building everylb?

I’m not as familiar with the heterogeneous configuration part, so I’ll make sure to hand that off to someone else in the lab.

Thanks

Eric

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your fix!

Now compilation phase passes successfully, but I've encountered another issue during linking stage. It requires some "module comlib":

My CHARM is builded with the next options:

./build LIBS mpi-linux-x86_64 mpicxx

and I can't found the module comlib; there also no tests with it. I have charm-6.7.1.

What am I doing wrong now?

I'm tried to compile EvelyLB target for charm:

./build everylb mpi-linux-x86_64 mpicxx

where mpicxx is Intel mpi.

But the dense LU benchmark again encountered compilation issue, now with the ckmulticast.h header file for this Charm build:

Could you, please, give me advise, how the CHARM should be configured to use the heterogeneous environment, Intel MPI (and what about avx2 features for the compiler)?
I want to try to run the dense LU benchmark in heterogeneous environment with Intel CPUs...

Thank you very much for your time!

best regards,

Ekaterina

Hi Ekaterina,

This one was actually our fault. There was a syntax error in lu.ci that popped up after a small change to how the SDAG language is defined. I fixed that error and pushed my change back to the repository. If you do a pull and try to compile again, it should work this time but let me know if more problems crop up.

Thanks

Eric

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm trying to compile the dense LU benchmark: http://charmplusplus.org/miniApps/#denselu

and I've encountered problems in linking it with Intel MKL BLAS.

It's my first experience with CHARM, so sorry for the maybe obvious question.

Please, could you be so kind to give me some hint, what am I doing wrong? Where should I start?

Should I define MKL usage somewhere?

 Thank you for your time!
