Running an MPI Fortran program within visual studio 2019

galli_m — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 22:51:22 GMT

I ran the following FORTRAN program in command prompt....

cccccccccccccc PROGRAM ccccccccccccccc

program mpi7

IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION (A-H,O-Z)

parameter (ms=10,mp=12) ! array has 10 entries for each of the 12 processors

dimension ar(ms,mp)

include 'mpif.h'
integer status(MPI_STATUS_SIZE)
call mpi_init(ierr)
call mpi_comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD,my_rank,ierr)
call mpi_comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD,nsize,ierr)

if (my_rank.eq.0) then

ccccccccc CALCULATIONS cccccccccccc
part=12.0d0
calc=part+100.0d0
do 20 i=1,ms
ar(i,mp)=calc
20 continue
ccccccccc CALCULATIONS cccccccccccc

do 30 nproc=1,nsize-1
do 30 i=1,ms
call mpi_recv(ar(i,nproc),1,MPI_DOUBLE_PRECISION,nproc,1,
* MPI_COMM_WORLD,status,ierr)
30 continue

else

ccccccccc CALCULATIONS cccccccccccc
part=dble(my_rank)

do 45 i=1,ms
call mpi_send(ar(i,my_rank),1,MPI_DOUBLE_PRECISION,0,1,

45 continue

endif

if (my_rank.eq.0) then

do 50 j=1,nsize
write(*,*) j,ar(1,j),ar(ms,j)
50 continue

write(*,*) ' '
do 60 i=1,ms
write(*,*) i,ar(i,nsize)
60 continue

endif

call mpi_finalize(ierr)

end

cccccccccccccc PROGRAM ccccccccccccccc

I had no difficulties compiling and executing the program....

I am now trying to do the same within Microsoft Visual Studio (Community 2019
Version 16.9.4)

Configured as follows.....

Configuration Properties : configuration 'Active(Debug)' ; platform 'x64'

c:\program files (x86)\intel\oneapi\mpi\2021.2.0\bin\mpiexec.exe

Debugging>Command arguments...

Linker>Input>Additional Dependancies....
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\mpi\2021.2.0\lib\debug\impi.lib

When I Build Solution.....I get...

fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\Program.obj'

Where did I go wrong??? There is likely multiple errors here...

My apologies for the extended detail. (I hope it helps)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Please check the attached visual studio configuration file. We tried the code with the same configuration(attached) and it's working for us on VS we also tried it through the command line and it's compiling and executing without any errors.

Please try using the same configuration for your project and let us know if you get any issues.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek

Thank you for your reply,

I have dissected the configuration you sent me.

I am again including details for a variety of reasons,
including for the benefit to others that may require
this information.

From what I gathered, this is the current configuration:
I put this in myself in a new project...

In configuration properties:

>Fortran>Additional Include Directories:

$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\include

>Linker>Additional Library Directories:

$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib\debug;$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib\

>Linker>Input>Additional Dependancies:

impi.lib libmpi_ilp64.lib

I build the solution and got my executable file.
Thank You!

I ran this file in the appropriate command prompt
and had no difficulties running the program.

I then tried running this within Visual Studio...
Debug>Start Without Debugging

I get a system error when the command prompt opens...
"The code execution cannot proceed because
impi.dll was not found"

There is something still missing....
It appears to not open into an appropriate
command prompt environment???

Thanks again

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the details.

Please check if the impi.dll is present in the installed oneAPI directory. You can refer to the below path:

Intel\oneAPI\mpi\2021.2.0\bin\debug for the presence of impi.dll.

If the file is not present then, please reinstall the latest oneAPI Basekit and HPCkit.

If the file is present in the directory then try adding the below lines in Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Build Events -> Post Build Event -> Command Line option.

copy /Y "$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\bin\debug\impi.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

copy /Y "$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\libfabric\bin\libfabric.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

And try re-building and debugging your project. Let us know if are still getting the same issue.

Hope the provided details will help you to resolve your issue.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek

Thank you for your help.

impi.dll was in the appropriate directory.
I included these lines and no longer had
the system error.

However for the program to work properly
I had to add entries to Debugging>Command
and Debugging>Command Arguments.
For the potential benefit to others, here
is the final configuration to run my MPI
FORTRAN program.

Thanks again for all your help!

Configuration Properties : configuration 'Active(Debug)' ; platform 'x64'

Debugging>Command...
$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\bin\mpiexec.exe

Debugging>Command arguments...
-np 12 "$(TargetPath)"

Fortran>Additional Include Directories....
$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\include

Linker>Additional Library Directories....
$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib\debug;$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\lib\

Linker>Input>Additional Dependancies....
impi.lib libmpi_ilp64.lib

Build Events>Post-Build Event>Command Line....
copy /Y "$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\bin\debug\impi.dll" "$(TargetDir)"
copy /Y "$(I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT)\libfabric\bin\libfabric.dll" "$(TargetDir)"
