Hi,

I am trying to compile nwchem-6.6 on a HPC cluster running CentOS Linux version 6 on Intel E5-2640v3 Haswells.

I intent to use gcc 4.9.2, openmpi 1.6.5, and intel-mkl 2017 and have employed all patches from the web page.

Unfortunately, I run into the following make error suggesting that the CPU is erroneously detected:

I have set the environmental variables as listed below. This includes FOPTIMIZE, which I have added in the hope to tame the optimizer and prevent it from using -march=native. Unfortunately, to no avail.

I would be very thankful for hints as to how to resolve this issue.

Thank you,
Daniel

1) Your failure is likely due to your assembler (/usr/bin/as) not being in sync with the GNU compiler version 4.9; in other words, GNU 4.9 supports Haswell instructions, while as does not.
What is the output of the command
/usr/bin/as -v

2) please do not set FFLAGS,CFLAGS, FOPTIMIZE, COPTIMIZE since it is likely to lead to unexpected results

Thank you for your insights. Your guess is spot on:

"as --version" gives:
GNU assembler version 2.20.51.0.2-5.42.el6 20100205

i.e. it's the system's as (i.e. /usr/bin/as). Unfortunately, the compiles (which I pull in via the module system) do not provide their own assemblers (well, at least no as as binaries). Is there a way to have the assembly code pulled in as inline assembly via gcc/gfortran or do I actually have to compile my private gcc including as? Obviously, I would prefer the least invasive approach. Could I possibly rely on a non-optimized reference (i.e. non-ASM) implementation instead? I could give the Intel compilers a try. However, I am facing another issue there ...

I am aware of this recommendation. I have added the FOPTIMIZE flag in the hope to avoid this problem as per a similar issue/post on the forum. As for FFLAGS, I tried to live up to the suggestions of Intel's mkl link line advisor. Which alternative way do you suggest to get the recommended compiler options passed on? Is there another environment variable to do the job?

Thank you for your help,
Daniel

Could you try to use -- as a baseline -- the GNU compiler that comes on your RedHat (or Centos) 6 box (out of /usr/bin)?
Have you already try to use this option and found problem with it?

Brilliant! Using the system compiler (gfortran 4.4.7) and an older version of the mpich2 libraries (I did not have the openmpi libraries for the older compiler readily available) everything went smoothly. However, this issue left me puzzled as to the functionality of the 4.9.2 compilers. Given that these are supposedly heavily utilized, I am surprised that this problem did not reveal itself previously. Anyway, thank you very much!
