  • Bash script to initialize CPE: enable_cpe.sh
  • Additional module files for PrgEnv-aocc and PrgEnv-intel: compiler/
  • Example PBS job script (for xthi): test/placement/job.sh

To use PrgEnv-aocc and PrgEnv-intel, put compiler in DIR and set REPO_ROOT=DIR in enable_cpe.sh.

General Notes

  • Use the compiler drivers cc, CC, and ftn to compile and link C, C++, and Fortran code. If you need to debug a build or want to see which tools are invoked with which flags and options, compile with -v or --cray-print-opts=all.
  • Cray compilers can generate detailed yet readable optimization reports. Try out -fsave-loopmark (C/C++) or -rm (Fortran) and inspect the resulting listings files (*.lst).
  • The Cray Fortran compiler is a highly optimizing compiler that performs extensive analyses at -O2 or greater. If you value short compile times during development, consider dialing down the optimization level to -O1 or -O0, or see if -Oipa1 or -Oipa0 makes a difference. Be aware that the default optimization level is -O2 (and -Oipa3), not -O0.
  • To clarify compiler messages, warnings, errors, and runtime errors, use explain, for example, explain ftn-2103 for more information about Fortran warning 2103.
  • man intro_directives gives an overview of pragmas and directives supported by the Cray compilers, should you look for specific extensions.
  • Prefer mpiexec to mpirun in PBS batch scripts, unless you make sure that aliases are expanded, using shopt -s expand_aliases, for example.
  • man mpiexec contains a few examples of binding processes and threads to CPUs. Use --cpu-bind depth -d $OMP_NUM_THREADS for hybrid programs. In general, we recommend to play around with xthi to make sure you achieve your preferred binding.
  • The Parallel Application Launch Service (PALS) is not configured to allow launching applications on login nodes. You can do mpirun or mpiexec only on compute nodes.
  • The environment variable PE_ENV can be used to determine which PrgEnv-<env> is active. If something requires Cray compilers, for example, you can test if [ "$PE_ENV" = "CRAY" ].
  • In some cases, it is necessary to prepend CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in particular when you want to use a non-default version of a dynamic library that is not present in /opt/cray/pe/lib64. If ldd <exe> reports missing dependencies, check if LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CRAY_LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ldd <exe> resolves them.
  • When running pat_report on an empty experiment data directory, include -i <exe> to specify where your instrumented executable <exe> can be found. This is more robust than relying on a recorded path, which may not exist anymore at the time of running pat_report. You won't need this option if you launch your instrumented program with mpiexec --no-transfer.

Known Issues and Solutions/Workarounds

  • Using PrgEnv-gnu and gcc/12.1.0, you might see ld complain about being "unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info" during linking. This warning goes away after loading an older version of gcc, for instance, gcc/10.3.0. Likewise, if you have trouble generating debugging information (-g), consider switching to an older version of gcc.
  • Using PrgEnv-intel and intel/2022.0.2 or intel-oneapi/2022.0.2, you will see ftn (ifort or ifx) warn about "overriding '-march=core-avx2' with '-march=core-avx2'". The reason is that -march=core-avx2 is indeed passed twice, by the installation's ifort.cfg or ifx.cfg and by CPE's x86-rome CPU target. You can ignore this warning.
  • Some runtime libraries, such as libcrayacc, depend on libcuda, which is not available everywhere. If you want to cross-compile OpenACC or OpenMP GPU code on a login node, invoke the linker with --allow-shlib-undefined (-Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined) to allow undefined symbols in shared objects. The resulting executable will run on an AI node.
  • If you try to populate an empty experiment data directory using pat_report, but pat_report can't open the instrumented executable, referring to a file in /var/run/palsd/... that no longer exists, invoke pat_report with -i <exe> as suggested above, or use mpiexec --no-transfer to run your experiment.
  • The current version of CrayPat (perftools and perftools-lite) has a bug in combination with PBS Pro and PALS that can cause different node names to map to the same node ID. When this happens, it affects not only the summary printed by pat_report ("Numbers of PEs per Node"), but also rank order suggestions ("No rank order was suggested because all ranks are on one node."). Fortunately, there exists a workaround that involves computing node IDs ourselves and setting SLURM_NODEID. Using xthi as an example, instead of doing mpirun [...] ./xthi, we can use a small utility, like /sw/hawk-rh8/hpe/cpe/utils/hash_node_name.c, and do mpirun [...] bash -c 'SLURM_NODEID=$(./hash_node_name) ./xthi', or create and "mpirun" a wrapper script.

Known Issues and Current Limitations

  • The PGAS programming models (Coarrays and UPC) are not supported on craype-network-ucx.
  • The debugging tools, including cray-stat and gdb4hpc, have received a number of important bugfixes and improvements in more recent releases of CPE. We will likely need to upgrade CPE to make these tools work properly.
