Hi,
I wouldl ike to compile from scratch OpenFoan
on a cluster with inifiband making use of mvapich
and gcc 3.4.6, So RedHat).
These are the only options I have,

Is anyone using mvapich ?

I have seen that with infiniband OpenMpi was mainly used...

If you have any informations I will be happy
to read them,

Thanks

Anne

Hi,
why don't you use gcc 4.1.1 distributed with OpenFOAM? You only have to download the pre-compiled version, and it works!
On red-hat machines you can ask your system administrator to install gcc4 (it's distributed with red-hat, but it's not part of the standard installation). However I believe the first option is better.
Concerning MPI, I've just been able to run OpenFOAM on a Quadrics network (really astonishingly fast! Many surprises from a very super-linear speedup curve!)
Well, I've just followed what written here

You don't have to recompile everything, but only the communication library. Change some environment variable and everything works perfectly!
Great software architecture. Many compliments to the developers!
Francesco

Hello Francesco,

You answer sounds encouraging!

I am not sure that my administrator will install gcc4. The inifiband was just installed and at the moment we are quite compulsory to use what is there on and no so that more.

When I connect to the http address you tagetted it does not correspond to our subject.
Actually, I have in the past tried to switch the communication library but without succes. So I would be interested if you could indicate
me the steps to do it.


Thank You

anne

Right, wrong link...
This shoud be the right one: http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...ges/1/716.html
Regarding gcc, just use the one distributed with OpenFOAM!
Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask anything else.

Hello Francesco,

I have now installed OpenFOAM 1.3 compiled with gcc4 on my inifinband cluster.

I have re-compiled the parrallel library libPstream by putting the mvapich installed on the cluster.

The link of libraries looks ok (I checked some
with executables with the ldd command).

HOWEVER, when I compile an application (that
used to work on an another computer) I have the following trouble:

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

which means that apparently some references are not defined.

The mpich library is now the mvapich-0.9.7-mlx2.2.0 .



I have read on the threat that some people make use of openmpi + inifinband?

What did you use: mvapich or openmpi+infiniband ??


Thanks you,

Anne
