CHOMBO

Introduction

Installation

This page describes what I (Gethin) did to install and run CHOMBO. In the first instance, I worked on dyln (an x86_64 machine) and used the GNU C and Fortran compilers (gcc, g++ and gfortran).

First we will look at the prerquisites, HDF5 and an MPI implementation, and then CHOMBO itself.

HDF5 v1.4.4

Get from:

ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/prev-releases
 
./configure --prefix=/gsb6/ggdagw/hdf5/hdf5-1.4.4/serial --enable-production

MPICH v1.2.5

Get from:

ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mpi/old

treating dylan as an SMP machine:

./configure --prefix=/gsb6/ggdagw/mpich/mpich-1.2.5/ch_shmem --with-device=ch_shmem
  • test with hello_world: OK, but mpif77 (or 90) was not created during build.

let's try ch_p4 also..

./configure --prefix=/gsb6/ggdagw/mpich/mpich-1.2.5/ch_p4 --with-device=ch_p4
  • hello world does not work--perhaps need to start a daemon? Go with shmem for the moment.

CHOMBO

Oct07 release

Without HDF5

Chombo-2.0/lib/mk/Make.defs.local

DIM           = 2
DEBUG         = TRUE
OPT           = TRUE
PRECISION     = DOUBLE
PROFILE       = FALSE
CXX           = g++
FC            = gfortran
MPI           = FALSE
USE_HDF       = FALSE

make lib make test make run Looks like the tests pass BUT uses -m32 during compilation.

With HDF5 compiled in serial mode

USE_64 = TRUE

adds -m64 to the GNU compiler flags and so object code is created for the x86_64 architecture, and so it will link against the HDF libraries which are built for x86_64. This is not what the documentation says the makefile variable is for! Hey ho. Add it in.

  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/gsb6/ggdagw/hdf5/hdf5-1.4.4/serial/lib

required to find shared object files, else tests will not run. Tests look OK.

With MPI and parallel HDF5
