Pre-Requisits

The default O/S image provided by AMD is very minimal and doesn't include many packages at all. The following should be installed:

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

yum install tar bzip2 bc g++

Install OpenMPI

Either install from the repos openmpi, build it manually of choose an alternative MPI.

yum install openmpi openmpi-devel

Set up user environment

# add to the end of your ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib;/usr/include/openmpi-aarch64/

Download & build ATLAS

Download ATLAS from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/math-atlas/files/Stable/3.10.1/atlas3.10.1.tar.bz2/download

Extract the contents of the tarball:

cd /root/scratch

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/math-atlas/Stable/3.10.1/atlas3.10.1.tar.bz2

tar jxvf atlas3.10.1.tar.bz2

Build ATLAS. N.B. - This will take a long time. On our sample Seattle system this took in excess of 5 hours. It is worth running the build process in a screen session or with nohup.

cd /root/scratch
mkdir atlas3.10.1_build
cd atlas3.10.1_build/
/root/scratch/ATLAS/configure --prefix=/opt/atlas/3.10.1
make 
make check

Get Linpack

Latest versions are available from: http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/

Download and decompress HPL:

cd /root/scratch

wget http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/hpl-2.1.tar.gz

tar zxvf hpl-2.1.tar.gz

Create the Makefile:

cd hpl-2.1
cp setup/Make.Linux_PII_CBLAS Make.Linux-aarch64

Edit the following items (approximate line numbers shown):

---
64 ARCH         = Linux_aarch64
---
70 TOPdir       = $(HOME)/scratch/hpl-2.1
---
84 MPdir        = /usr/lib64/openmpi
85 MPinc        = -I/usr/include/openmpi-aarch64
86 MPlib        = $(MPdir)/lib/libmpi.so
---
95 #LAdir        = /usr/lib64/atlas
---
176 LINKER       = /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpif90
