Issues using micnativeloadex for cross-compiled hwloc on MIC

[Jake_C_]

Hello all,

I have been having trouble getting hwloc to run natively on the MIC. Specifically, it seems that necessary dependencies (such as libimf.so) are not being found.

First of all, /install is an NFS drive mounted by the MICs. Before beginning, I set my compiler variables, as well as exported the SINK_LD_LIBRARY_PATH as:

# export SINK_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.1.132/linux/compiler/lib/mic/

I have downloaded the hwloc git repo, run:

# cd hwloc/

# ./autogen.sh

# ./configure CC="icc --mmic" --host=x86_64-k1om-linux --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/install

When I run make and make install, I get 

x86_64-k1om-linux-ld: warning: libimf.so, needed by /home/caswell/hwloc/hwloc/.libs/libhwloc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

x86_64-k1om-linux-ld: warning: libsvml.so, needed by /home/caswell/hwloc/hwloc/.libs/libhwloc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

x86_64-k1om-linux-ld: warning: libirng.so, needed by /home/caswell/hwloc/hwloc/.libs/libhwloc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

x86_64-k1om-linux-ld: warning: libintlc.so.5, needed by /home/caswell/hwloc/hwloc/.libs/libhwloc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

(It repeats this for a few different packages in hwloc). 

Then, if I try to run:

# micnativeloadex /install/bin/hwloc-ls -l

I get the following output:

Dependency information for /install/bin/hwloc-ls

        Full path was resolved as

        /install/bin/hwloc-ls

        Binary was built for Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) Coprocessor

        (codename: Knights Corner) architecture

        SINK_LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.1.132/linux/compiler/lib/mic

        Dependencies Found:

                (none found)

        Dependencies Not Found Locally (but may exist already on the coprocessor):

                libhwloc.so.0

                libm.so.6

                libgcc_s.so.1

                lib.c.so.6

                libdl.so.2

If my SINK_LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set, and the packages are located in /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.1.132/linux/compiler/lib/mic, what could be causing the linking issues? 

Thank you very much for your time,

Jake

You can get rid of the need for the shared intel objects by creating your libhwloc.so with -static-intel (if you're using icc to link).

In the second part micnativeloadex can't find libhwloc.so.0 . Did you install that in the compiler lib directory? Or is it somewhere else? If it is somewhere else then you need to add that path to SINK_LD_LIBRARY_PATH .

Did you try to run it truly natively by logging into the card and just setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the location on the card?

Thanks
