Discoverer receives a massive GCC compiler collection update

9 July 2023 Veselin Kolev Comments 0 Comment

In an effort to support more effective code compilation and code optimisation, we have updated the GCC compiler collection installation available in the public software repository. This update brings to the repository GCC versions 13.1.0, 12.3.0, and 11.4.0. Each new version includes GMP, MPC, MPFR, and iSL libraries. Zstandard 1.5.5 is linked as an external compressor. For optimal workload, we optimised those libraries by adding support for AVX2 SIMD extensions. Currently, AVX2 is the highest SIMD extension supported by the…

Compiling OpenBLAS 0.3.21 with OpenMP support using Intel oneAPI

25 September 2022 Veselin Kolev Comments 0 Comment

OpenBLAS is a CPU-level optimized replacement to BLAS/LAPACK. In most cases it can substitute BLAS and/or LAPACK in attempt to achieve higher productivity, which is the main goal of most HPC applications. The last release of OpenBLAS (that is 0.3.21) has some critical problem with configuring the compilation whenever USE_OPENMP=1 is passed to make, in case Intel oneAPI compilers are employed. The problem is in the Makefile. At some point there the ifort compiler becomes invoked without passing the necessary…

LLVM 14

LLVM project released version 14.0.6 of their source code. Immediately after that the LLVM compiler infrastructure was compiled and installed in the Discoverer HPC software repository (made available to all HPC users). It is worth mentioning here the way the source code was compiled, since the details of that process reflect the good practice in compiling for AMD Zen2 CPU. The compile recipe is publicly available at: https://gitlab.discoverer.bg/vkolev/recipes/-/tree/main/llvm/ In the recipe, it is better to employ GCC 11 compilers than…
