icc for gsl

[kirill_igum]

did anyone have any success with gnu scientific library?

i followed this posthttp://dererumnatura.us/archives/2009/03/compiling-gsl-1.htmland it worked

but i had to put "-no-vec" forode-intval library.

i'd like to use benefits of icc including vectorization for solving ODEs. so having -no-vec option is an issue for me. is there anyway to go around it?

also, is there a way to use the library without compiling it on it's own? meaning I want to just put the .h files in the directory with my program and compile them together with the program.

thank you for your help,

forgot to mention, icc is versioon 11.0, gsl is 1.14, i'm running debian lenny on 8-core mac pro

Have you tried building it with -fp-model source and without the -no-vec option?

[kirill_igum]

yes,
make check returns an error with

An older thread that you might find useful.

i've read it before and i just tried again all kinds of variations of -02 and -03 and -fp-model

the problem with ode-initval still comes up

[Quoc-An_L_Intel]

I am not an expert on building this stuff on linux, but I download the gsl package and successfully built it my Mac Pro with Intel compiler 11.1.088 for Mac OS X, and Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.3

i tried :

./configure FC=ifort CC=icc CFLAGS="-m32 -fp-model double" LDFLAGS="-m32" --disable-shared --disable-dependency-tracking

linux uses -m32 instead of -arch i386 and -m64 instead of -arch x86_64

configure worked with -m64 but gave the same ode-initval error as before

why do you use -arch i386? isn't mac pro x86_64?

Hi
I have made test Debian Lenny (5) gsl lib with GNU compiler origin default: is:

gcc -v
Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
Configur avec: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 4.3.2-1.1' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.3 --program-suffix=-4.3 --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-objc-gc --enable-mpfr --enable-cld --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu
Modle de thread: posix
gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1)

Before to use Intel compiler you must build the source GNU to evaluate if not other problem exist.

download gsl-1.14

For that you can result all tests (GNU GCC) without fault require you must using use first this simple syntax not really optimized (just change core2 for your processors)

CFLAGS="-O2 -m64 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -Wpointer-arith -fno-strict-aliasing ";export CFLAGS

make distclean
./configure
make --jobs=4
make check

Result: I have all test passed ok GNU


For Icc compiler also all test passed ok , use the flag same is given after.
Compiler version is the last...

make distclean
./configure
make --jobs=4
make check (make check > log 2>&1)

I have all test passed ok Icc Intel compiler

If i have time i see after, how would be make better for improve (fast or other ???).

Good luck

[kirill_igum]

all tests passed!!!

thank you for your time and help

Hi
With flag -ipo also all test passed ok
Use same:

make distclean
LANG=C; export LANG
CC="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/intel64/icc"; export CC
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/lib/intel64;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
AR="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/intel64/xiar";export AR
CFLAGS="-O2 -m64 -mieee-fp -ipo -override-limits -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -Wpointer-arith -fno-strict-aliasing "; export CFLAGS

./configure
or
./configure --disable-shared

Use (DSO) for call if it can work .. i think maybe probably better.


Difficult to find nice tune with this machine used ,is too small not appropriated this type source , also i
have football cup (TV) shared same desktop in other terminal and result could be not signifiant

I have read that to one month Intel make promotion i7 950 decreased price almost 50% ,
but unfortunately world cup would be already ended...

[kirill_igum]

everything worked with -ipo, even with -03 optimization

thank you again
