Hello CP2K Community!

I am trying since days to get cp2k with MKL and Intel MPI up and running with OpenMP parallelization.

Its compiling, but my reference Benchmark "H2O-x.inp" does not converge. I guessed that its something with Intel MPI being not thread safe, but now it turned out, that its MKL. I have successfully netlib.org running and converging.

Another thing that irritates me is, that the pure MPI version with MKL is _way_ slower than the netlib.org versions of BLAS (13x). Does anyone observe this, too?

Btw, I am using the newest MKL, 10.3.10, is this a mistake?

best regards
ribx

Hi,

you should use serial MKL if you're not doing so.

Regards,
Urban.

Forget all what I said about the performance! MKL is a bit fast than netlib. Read out the wrong timing values.

Dear Sir,
I plan to try using MKL + openmpi + openmp next week. Could you share your arch file?

Thanks a lot.

Hello again,
I apologize for the insistence.
Did you post your arch file?

Thanks in advance.

Hola Rafael,

 

is relative simple what you want...

build on arch/Linux-x86-64-intel.psmp

all you nee to is to change the acml linking to mkl...

Maybe you want to change MKL too.

Follow this link

It will work, it works for me.

Thanks,

Dear Vijay,
are you sure the link below is correct? I see no indication of OpenMP.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Rafael
