TODO

  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: hmpt always uses GCC (the 1st in PATH) -> adapt s.t. other compilers can also be used
  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: hmpt is ABI-compatible with MPICH-derivativs, but not so mpt
    • user should know about this!
    • @HPE: is hmpt a MPICH-derivatice, but not so mpt?
  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: unclear that (h)mpt provides MPI lib -> call it "mpi/hmpt" and "mpi/mpt" instead?
  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: remove MPI delivered with RHEL
  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: Intel loads gcc module -> use (LD_)LIBRARY_PATH intead
  • 2019-08-07, dick@hlrs: be careful: cc points to /usr/bin/gcc!


Modulefile best practices

  • Set an environment variable to the root path of your installation (cf. e.g. MPI_ROOT in /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/hmpt/2.19).
  • Set not only CPATH but also respective variables used by PGI / Intel / etc. -> someone has to figure out the list of those variables, same w.r.t. (LD_)LiBRARY_PATH.
  • Include your Name (finger does not work anymore), E-Mail and date of installation into the modulefile.
  • It's possible to hold the modulefile(s) together with the actual installation in the respective directory and just create symlinks in /opt/hlrs/modulefiles/.
  • Directory structure of /opt/hlrs/ shall be replicated in /opt/hlrs/unsupported-modulefiles/.
  • In case of dependencies, load explicit versions instead of default one!

As an example a modulefile for package Foo version 1.23 (within th category performance) should look like:

BASE_DIR=/opt/hlrs/
CAT=performance
PACKAGE=Foo
VERSION=1.23

FOO_ROOT=$BASE_DIR/$CAT/$PACKAGE/$VERSION
setenv FOO_ROOT $FOO_ROOT
setenv FOO_VERSION $VERSION

prepend-path PATH                $FOO_ROOT/bin
prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH     $FOO_ROOT/lib        # library search path at time of execution
prepend-path LIBRARY_PATH        $FOO_ROOT/lib        # equivalent of "-L" for C, C++, and Fortran; works for gcc and clang
prepend-path CPATH               $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" for C and C++; works with gcc and clang
prepend-path CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH  $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" only for C++ compiler; usually not needed as CPATH will do
#prepend-path C_INCLUDE_PATH      $FOO_ROOT/include    # equivalent to "-I" only for C compiler; usually not needed as CPATH will do
###  not verified yet, seems to be intel specific: prepend-path FPATH               $FOO_ROOT/include    # same for Fortran
