MPI Libraries Missing from Intel Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition 2016

[Jimmy_J_1]

I upgraded my system from the 2015 version to the 2016 version Update 1 by downloading a trial and giving it my valid serial key.  Everything seemed to install fine, but I cannot find the mpi libraries.  mpiifort seems to be missing.

So far I've only tried sourcing:

/opt/intel/parallel_studio_xe_2016.0.047/psxevars.sh

but that doesn't seem to work.  Does that mean the installation failed? If so, how do I remedy the situation.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Jimmy

Please take a look at the MPI getting started guide at:

https://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/mpi/linux/getting_started.pdf

You can setup the MPI environment by below command:

2.3 Quick Start 1. Source the mpivars.sh script to establish the proper environment settings for the Intel® MPI Library. It is located in the / /bin directory, where refers to the Intel MPI Library installation directory (for example, /opt/intel/impi) and is one of the following architectures: y ia32 – IA-32 architecture binaries y intel64 – Intel® 64 architecture binaries. 

Could you find such /opt/intel/impi folder under your installation path?

Thanks.

[Jimmy_J_1]

Yes, I have the directory.  I have tried sourcing that directory as well, but it doesn't work.  I don't even have the mpiifort binary anywhere in my install path.

I have sourced: /opt/intel/impi/5.1.2.150/intel64/bin/mpivars.sh to no avail.

It seems I'm just really missing mpiifort and mpiicc.  Is there a separate step to install them?

Hi, Jimmy

Have you downloaded the complete package for Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE Cluster edition? What's the package size?

Could you try install the Parallel Studio XE 2016 again? Select Modify installation, 

Then select defaults values until below step. Make sure to select step "2" to change the components.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are now ready to begin modification. You can use all default modification
settings by simply choosing the "Start modification Now" option or you can
customize these settings by selecting any of the change options given below
first. You can view a summary of the settings by selecting "Show pre-modify
summary".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start modification Now [default]

2. Change components to modify  [ Custom ]
3. Show pre-modify summary

h. Help
b. Back to the previous menu
q. Quit

Please type a selection or press "Enter" to accept default choice [1]: 2
Step 3 of 5 | Options > Component selection

In the next step, make sure component for  Intel(R) MPI Library 5.1 Update 1 is selected:

Select the component you wish to modify. When you have completed your changes,
select option 1 to continue with the modification.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Finish component selection [default]

2. Intel(R) MPI Library 5.1 Update 1
3. [ ] Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector 9.1 Update 1
4. Intel(R) Cluster Checker 3.0
5. Intel(R) Inspector XE 2016 (already installed)
6. [ ] Intel(R) Advisor XE 2016
7. Intel(R) C++ Compiler 16.0
8. Intel(R) Fortran Compiler 16.0
9. [ ] Intel(R) Math Kernel Library 11.3
10. [ ] Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives 9.0
11. Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks 4.4 (already installed)
12. [ ] Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library 2016
13. [ ] Intel(R) Debugger for Heterogeneous Compute 2016
14. [ ] GNU* GDB 7.8

Then continue the installation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

The following is all I have:

1. Finish component selection [default]

2. Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2016 Update 1 (already installed)
3. Intel(R) Inspector XE 2016 Update 1 (already installed)
4. Intel(R) Advisor XE 2016 Update 1 (already installed)
5. Intel(R) C++ Compiler 16.0 Update 1
6. Intel(R) Fortran Compiler 16.0 Update 1
7. Intel(R) Math Kernel Library 11.3 Update 1
8. Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives 9.0 Update 1
9. Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks 4.4 Update 1 (already installed)
10. Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library 2016 Update 1
11. Intel(R) Debugger for Heterogeneous Compute 2016 Update 1
12. GNU* GDB 7.8

I'm not surprised I'm missing cluster checker.  When I attempt to install, I get a message that I have an OS that doesn't support cluster checker (Kubuntu), but I'm not sure why I don't have the MPI library.  As I said, the MPI libraries were on here before I updated to the 2016 version.

Also,

The size of parallel_studio_xe_2016_update1.tgz is 3.9G

[Jimmy_J_1]

And I tried again and got this:

1. Finish component selection [default]

2. Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector 9.1 Update 2 [All]
3. Intel(R) Cluster Checker 3.1 [All]
4. Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2016 Update 1 [All]
5. Intel(R) Inspector XE 2016 Update 1 [All]
6. Intel(R) Advisor XE 2016 Update 1 [All]
7. Intel(R) C++ Compiler 16.0 Update 1 [All]
8. Intel(R) Fortran Compiler 16.0 Update 1 [All]
9. Intel(R) Math Kernel Library 11.3 Update 1 [Custom]
10. Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives 9.0 Update 1 [Custom]
11. Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks 4.4 Update 1 [All]
12. Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library 2016 Update 1 [All]
13. Intel(R) Debugger for Heterogeneous Compute 2016 Update 1 [Custom]
14. GNU* GDB 7.8 [Custom]

Cluster checker is now there, but no MPI library.  I've redownloaded the tar file and nothing has changed.

Hi, Jimmy

I'm not sure why MPI is not included in the Cluster edition complete package.

A quick solution, could you try download MPI directly from below link:

https://registrationcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?ProductID=2526

Will that work for you? I will investigate the issue of missing in the Cluster edition and let you know for an update.

Thanks.

Hi, Jimmy

I seems cannot reproduce the issue you reported. I tried download 2016 Update 1 Cluster Edition. The package size is similar 3.84 GB.

However when I install the package, I can see below list including Intel(R) MPI in changing components menu:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the component you wish to install. When you have completed your changes,
select option 1 to continue with the installation.
