Installation on Solaris/SPARC

Problems and patches

Step-by-step procedure

Prepare directory and download magpar

cd $HOME  # $HOME
mkdir magpar-0.8
cd magpar-0.8  # $HOME/magpar-0.8
wget http://www.magpar.net/static/magpar/download/magpar-0_8.tar.gz
tar xzf magpar-0_8.tar.gz
cd magpar-0_8  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8
MAGPAR_HOME=$PWD; export MAGPAR_HOME  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8
PD=$MAGPAR_HOME/libs; export PD  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs

ParMetis

cd $PD  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs
lib=ParMetis-3.1.1
wget -N http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/sw/parmetis/$lib.tar.gz
tar xzf $lib.tar.gz
cd $lib  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/ParMetis-3.1.1
Note

ld needs the deprecated -xarch=v9b switch to use the correct library paths for 64bit!

#make "CC=mpcc -g -m64 -xarch=sparcvis2" "LD=mpcc -xarch=v9b" "XTRALIBS=-lmpi" "OPTFLAGS=-fast -xtarget=ultra4plus"  # with symbol table
make "CC=mpcc -m64 -xarch=sparcvis2" "LD=mpcc -xarch=v9b" "XTRALIBS=-lmpi" "OPTFLAGS=-fast -xtarget=ultra4plus"

SUNDIALS

cd $PD  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs
lib=sundials-2.3.0
# get sundials-2.3.0.tar.gz
tar xzf $lib.tar.gz
cd $lib  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/sundials-2.3.0
Note

Sun Studio's -fast expands to:

-fns  -fsimple=2 -xarch -xbuiltin=%all -xcache -xchip -xdepend -xlibmil -xlibmopt -xmemalign -xO5 -xtarget=native

-xlibmil has problems with return fabs ();. Changing this to return fabs (1); works, but may not be what was intended by the configure script.

patch -p1 < ../../../sundials_ss12hpc.diff
#./configure --prefix=$PD/sundials --with-cflags="-g -fast -xtarget=ultra4plus -m64 -xarch=sparcvis2" --with-ldflags="-xarch=v9b" --with-mpicc=mpcc --with-mpif77=mpf77 --with-mpi-libs="-lmpi"  # with symbol table
./configure --prefix=$PD/sundials --with-cflags="-fast -xtarget=ultra4plus -m64 -xarch=sparcvis2" --with-ldflags="-xarch=v9b" --with-mpicc=mpcc --with-mpif77=mpf77 --with-mpi-libs="-lmpi"
make && make -i install

PETSc

cd $PD  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs
lib=petsc-2.3.3-p15
wget ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/$lib.tar.gz
tar xzf $lib.tar.gz
cd $lib  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/petsc-2.3.3-p15
PETSC_DIR=$PD/$lib; export PETSC_DIR  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/petsc-2.3.3-p15
Note

The configure scripts use the deprecated -xarch=v9 switch for 64bit targets. Fixed to use -m64 instead.

patch -p1 < ../../../petsc_ss12hpc.diff

Give all options as parameters to the configure script instead of writing a configuration file.

Note

With --with-debugging=0 magpar crashes.

TAO

cd $PD  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs
lib=tao-1.9
wget -N http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/tao/download/$lib.tar.gz
tar xzf $lib.tar.gz
cd $lib  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/tao-1.9
TAO_DIR=$PD/$lib; export TAO_DIR  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/libs/tao-1.9
Note

Sun Studio's C++ compiler does not provide isinf.

patch -p1 < ../../../tao_ss12hpc.diff
make  # Options are taken from PETSc.

magpar

cd $MAGPAR_HOME/src  # $HOME/magpar-0.8/magpar-0_8/src
cp Makefile.in.defaults Makefile.in.ss12hpc
Note
Sun Studio's C++ compiler does not support variable length arrays.

For workaround see http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5348093.

Note

PETSC_ARCH has to be adjusted in Makefile.

patch -p1 < ../../src_ss12hpc.diff
cp -p Makefile.in.ss12hpc Makefile.in.$HOSTNAME

make varinfo | less  # Check compilation options.
Note

Some options are taken from PETSc.

#CC=mpcc CXX=mpCC F77=mpf77 FC=mpf77 F90=mpf90 CFLAGS="-g -m64 -xarch=sparcvis2 -DPNG -DZLIB" OPTFLAGS="-fast -xtarget=ultra4plus -xlic_lib=sunperf" EXTERNAL_LIB="-lpng -lz" make  # with symbol table
CC=mpcc CXX=mpCC F77=mpf77 FC=mpf77 F90=mpf90 CFLAGS="-m64 -xarch=sparcvis2 -DPNG -DZLIB" OPTFLAGS="-fast -xtarget=ultra4plus -xlic_lib=sunperf" EXTERNAL_LIB="-lpng -lz" make

Run magpar by calling mprun -np <x> magpar.exe.
