This summarises some info for the Blue Gene light system
The configure command should be something like the following:
path-to-the-sources/configure --host=ppc-ibm-blrts --build=ppc64-ibm-linux \
--without-lapack --enable-mpi --with-mpidimension=4 \
--enable-gaugecopy --with-limedir=path-to-lime/ \
--enable-newdiracop CC=/usr/bin/blrts_xlc CPPFLAGS=-I/bgl/BlueLight/ppcfloor/bglsys/include/ \
--with-nonblockingmpi --with-persistentmpi --with-bgldram
some comments are important:
- if option --with-bgldram is used, then the executables have to be
relinked with /bgl/local/bin/blrts_gcc -Xlinker --script=./elf32ppcblrts.x .
The linker is now replaced automatically.
the file elf32ppcblrts.x can be obtained from
blrts-gnu/powerpc-bgl-blrts-gnu/lib/ldscripts/elf32ppcblrts.x
and it needs the change of the line
PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x00200000); . = 0x00200000 + SIZEF_HEADERS;
to
PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x01000000); . = 0x01000000 + SIZEF_HEADERS;
otherwise the code will stop with the message that there is not enough memory
for halfspinor fields.
note that this option is default for the BGL build!
- the new Dirac operator implementation is useful for bad boundary to volume
ratios. In case of large local volumes it might be better to use
--disable-newdiraop
- running should be done with something like
-env "BGLMPI_EAGER=500000000 BGLMPI_PACING=n"
as options to mpirun.
