Intel Build

Built using:

OpenMPI 1.4.3 (source /usr/mpi/intel/openmpi-1.4.3/bin/mpivars.sh ; built using intel composer 2013)
Intel compilers (source /share/apps/intel/composer_xe_2013.0.079/bin/compilervars.sh intel64)

Useful background on lammps:

Download source

Pull latest version from: http://lammps.sandia.gov/tars

  wget http://lammps.sandia.gov/tars/lammps.tar.gz
  tar zxvf lammps.tar.gz
  cd lammps/src/MAKE

Build MKL FFTW

  cd /share/apps/intel/composer_xe_2013.0.079/mkl/interfaces/fftw2xc
  make libintel64 compiler=intel

Edit the Makefile

Using openmpi for this build so edit Makefile.openmpi

Build

  cd ../ (to the src directory)
  make openmpi
  # this will create a file: lammps-5Oct12/src/lmp_openmpi

Run the tests

  #input file provided by customer
  cd ~/lammps-input
  mpirun -np 16 ../lammps-5Oct12/src/lmp_openmpi -i in.bmim_bf4

From the HPC Advisory council, here are some run time flags suggested for openmpi

  mpirun -np 168 -hostfile ~/hostfile-ompi.14 -mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 \
      -mca btl self,sm,openib ~/lammps-30Aug10-gnu-openmpi-1.4.2/src/lmp_maia_gnu_openmpi \ 
      -in in.rhodo.scaled  -var x 4 -var y 6 -var z 7

GCC Build

Compilation using openmpi/gcc

Unpack the tar file
Navigate into src folder
Navigate into MAKE folder
Edit Makefile.openmpi

Remove the flags for FFTW libaray, save and exit

Naviagate to parent folder and type

make openmpi
cp lmp_openmpi ../bench
mpirun -np 4 lmp_openmpi < in.lj

Compilation using g++

Navigate into MAKE folder Edit Makefile.g++

Change compiler and linker to mpic++ as below:

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# compiler/linker settings
# specify flags and libraries needed for your compiler

CC =            mpic++
CCFLAGS =       -g -O # -Wunused
SHFLAGS =       -fPIC
DEPFLAGS =      -M

LINK =          mpic++
LINKFLAGS =     -g -O
LIB =
SIZE =          size

ARCHIVE =       ar
ARFLAGS =       -rc
SHLIBFLAGS =    -shared

Remove the MPI flags

Compile as for openmpi

GPU Build

http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_accelerate.html#acc_6

compile the cuda library
add to installation
compile lammps

Edit makefile.common to point to the cuda libraries

cd /lib/cuda
make

check Makefile.lammps matches to path to the cuda libraries

cd ../../src
make yes-user-cuda
make linux
