Building LLVM 23.1.1 from llvm.org on Discoverer CPU cluster

Building LLVM 23.1.1 from llvm.org on Discoverer CPU cluster

Overview This document describes the build procedure for the LLVM 23.1.1 source distribution on an AMD EPYC 7H12 (Zen 2, x86_64) based CPU-only compute cluster (Discoverer CPU cluster). The build is performed from source using a shell-based recipe that loads Environment Modules, configures LLVM with CMake and Ninja, and installs the resulting tool chain into a versioned prefix. The recipe and build log are published at: https://gitlab.discoverer.bg/vkolev/recipes/-/blob/main/llvm/23/llvmorg-23.1.1.recipe https://gitlab.discoverer.bg/vkolev/recipes/-/blob/main/llvm/23/llvmorg-23.1.1.log Build environment and approach The build runs on AMD EPYC 7H12 compute…

Global Arrays 5.9.2: analysis of three test suite failures on Discoverer CPU cluster

Global Arrays 5.9.2: analysis of three test suite failures on Discoverer CPU cluster

Global Arrays underpins a number of computational chemistry codes, NWChem among them, which makes the correctness of its distributed operations a practical concern rather than an academic one. We recently built GA 5.9.2 on an AMD EPYC compute node with GCC, Open MPI 5.0.10 and OpenBLAS, added the test suite to our build recipe for the first time, and watched three of the seventy-nine tests fail. This post walks through how we established that the failures were upstream defects rather…
