Problems and patches
SUNDIAL`s configure script fails on a compiler optimization option. sundials_ss12hpc.diff
The PETSc configure scripts use a deprecated compiler option for 64bit targets. petsc_ss12hpc.diff
TAO makes use of isinf (defined by the C99 standard) which is not supported by the Sun Studio 12 C++ compiler. tao_ss12hpc.diff
magpar makes use of variable length arrays (defined by the C99 standard) which are not supported by the Sun Studio 12 C++ compiler. src_ss12hpc.diff
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.

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.

- 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.
