Particle Interaction Library (PIL)

Introduction

Installation

Installation Instructions (by Shao-Chin)

• Use Intel 13.0 compiler

  Add the line to the bottom of ~/.bashrc:

  source /u/local/compilers/intel/13.0/bin/iccvars.sh intel64

  Then log out and log in. Type "which icc". You should see something like:

  /u/local/compilers/intel/13.0/composer_xe_2013.1.117/bin/intel64/icc

• OpenMPI

  download http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.3.tar.gz (or whatever the latest stable release).

  install OpenMPI into $HOME/local/openmpi

  Put openmpi-1.6.3.tar.gz under /tmp/<some directory>

  Run the following commands:

  $ tar xvfz openmpi-1.6.3.tar.gz

  $ cd openmpi-1.6.3

  $ ./configure –prefix=$HOME/local/openmpi –with-openib=/usr –with-sge CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort

  $ make

  $ make install

• Metis

  Before installing Metis, load new version of cmake

  $ module load cmake

  Download http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/sw/metis/metis-5.0.2.tar.gz (or whatever the latest stable release)

  Install Metis to $HOME/local/metis

  Put metis-5.0.2.tar.gz in /tmp/<some directory>, run:

  $ tar xvfz metis-5.0.2.tar.gz

  $ cd metis-5.0.2

  $ make config prefix=$HOME/local/metis

  $ make install

• At this point, if you type "ls $HOME/local/openmpi", you should see "bin etc include lib share" (directories). If you type "ls $HOME/local/metis", you should see "bin include lib".

• Set up Environment "Permanently"

  After OpenMPI and Metis are installed, add the following lines to the bottom of ~/.bashrc:

  export PATH=$HOME/local/openmpi/bin:$HOME/local/metis/bin:$PATH

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/openmpi/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  export MANPATH=$HOME/local/openmpi/man:$MANPATH

  Reasons:

  "PATH" makes openmpi and metis' executables available to user environment.

  "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" is for dynamic linking of openmpi libraries.

  "MANPATH" is for man page (e.g. "man MPI_Init")
