macOS support is deprecated for Intel Fortran Compiler Classic (ifort) in the oneAPI 2023.1 release. macOS support for Intel Fortran Compiler Classic (ifort) will not be available starting with the oneAPI 2024.0 release.
Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit for macOS on x86 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in the 2024.0 release. Several Intel-led open source developer tool projects will continue supporting macOS on Apple Silicon including oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and Intel Implicit SPMD Program Compiler and we welcome the opportunity to work with contributors to expand support to additional tools in the future.

1: Some gcc/gfortran developer decided to change that switch name without just leaving the old name as a synonym. Some developer decided to change a switch name and emit a diagnostic for the old switch that does the same thing, rather than silently just doing what was expected. That switch will have to be changed to suppress that message.
2: It appears there are two references in the linked objects to the same library in the gfortran command. Basically, a duplicate library reference. That is usually an explicit reference on the compile command, or can be hidden in an alias for the compiler command, or can be loaded from somewhere during the compile, depending on the arcaneness rating of the build script. Anything using autoconf tends to be somewhere out past arcane, too. Look underneath whatever that gfnew script or alias might be.
As I'm guessing this probably isn't your Fortran code and your build script (gfnew?), check for source and build updates from whoever is maintaining it, and check for build switches that might be used for selecting a particular compiler.
Fortran itself has a few gnarly bits, particularly if the code is old enough. FORTRAN code (FORTRAN code, as differentiated from Fortran code) using syntax from prior to about F90 tends to be gnarly. Code with vendor extensions, too. And some build scripts and some build script tooling... shudder.
I was also thinking of installing Dnf package manager, and then install the netcdf-fortran RPM package (from the fedora repository) that matches my compiler version. What do you think about this approach?
LC provides several versions of a given vendor's compilers (e.g., GCC 8.5.0 and GCC 10.3.1). Users are advised to use LMod (detailed below) to load a desired compiler version. CORAL / CORAL EA systems, these compilers are "wrapped" to make them more robust for users in LC environments.
On TOSS 4 and CORAL EA systems, LC provides an LMod modules environment that allows users to switch between various compiler versions. To see a list of compiler versions available via modules, a user can run `ml keyword "Category : Compiler"`. Here is a snippet of the output on a TOSS 4 system:
Since TOSS 3 and the CORAL EA systems, LC no longer maintains compiler vendor and version specific compiler wrappers (i.e., we no longer have commands such as mpiifort-17.0.2). Rather, for each compiler we have separate builds of each MPI implementation with standard mpicc, mpicxx, mpif90, etc. commands. A user may use modules switch between various compilers, for example, running module load gcc/10.3.1-magic will cause the mpicc, mpif90, etc. commands to use the GCC 10.3.1 compiler with LC "magic" (described above). More information about using MPI on CORAL systems can be found at lc.llnl.gov/confluence/display/CORALEA/MPI.
The common use of shared libraries on Linux provides many benefits but if the application developer is not careful, they can also be a source of vexing problems. The most common shared library problems are: 1) not finding the shared libraries at run time (preventing the application from running at all) and 2) the much worse case of silently picking up different (and possibly incompatible) shared libraries at run time. This section describes the recommended ways to ensure that your application finds and uses the expected shared libraries.
These shared library problems can occur more often on LC systems than on stand-alone Linux systems because LC often installs many different versions of the same compiler or library in order to give users the exact version they require. Although Linux provides methods for differentiating shared library versions, many of these compilers and libraries do not use this technology. As a result, on LC systems, there can be several shared libraries with exactly the same name that are actually different from, and possibly incompatible with, each other.
In order to make shared library version errors as visible as possible (i.e., dying at startup versus just silently getting the wrong library), LC intentionally put no LC-specific paths in the default search path for shared libraries (e.g., in /etc/ld.so.conf). Our compilers and MPI wrappers have been modified to automatically include the appropriate rpaths (run-time paths) for those shared objects the compilers or MPI automatically include. For all other shared libraries that your code links in that are not in /usr/lib64, you probably need to specify a rpath for them.
Rpaths may be specified on the link line explicitly with one or more "-Wl,-rpath," arguments or you can use a LC-specific linker option "-Wl,--auto_rpath" to help with this. If you specify "-Wl,--auto_rpath" on your link line, all the -L commands on the link line will automatically be added to your rpath, which is typically what is needed to pick up the proper shared library. It should be noted that the use of "-Wl,--auto_rpath" will encode all -L paths into your rpath, which may include paths LC does not control (such as /usr/gapps). (FYI, the "-Wl," part of all these commands tells the compiler to pass the commands to the linker without interpretation and the "," after -rpath is replaced with a space.)
Although LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be used to specify where to search for shared objects, we strongly recommend encoding the paths you need into the executable instead, either by adding "-Wl,--auto_rpath" to your link line or by explicitly specifying paths with "-Wl,-rpath,". By encoding the
The ACTUAL SHARED LIBRARIES used by your executable can be queried with "ldd ". This list usually is longer than the one above because shared libraries can pull in other shared libraries. For example:
Executables compiled on machines of one SYS_TYPE are not likely to run on machines of a different SYS_TYPE. The exception is that executables may run on both toss_4_x86_64_ib and toss_4_x86_64. Some software and libraries may be available for some SYS_TYPEs and not others. Some utilities and libraries may be in different places on machines of different SYS_TYPEs. You may need to modify your makefiles or build scripts when transitioning to a machine of a different SYS_TYPE.
The CUDA Toolkit is available on systems with compatible GPU accelerators. A tutorial on how to use GPUs on LC clusters is available, as is a CZ Confluence wiki with additional CUDA usage information.
Vectorization is becoming increasingly important for performance on modern processors with widening SIMD units. More information on how to vectorize with the Intel compilers can be found on LC's vectorization page.
When calling a Fortran routine compiled with ifort from C or C++, it is recommended that you call the Intel-specific initialization and finalization routines, for_rtl_init_ and for_rtl_finish_. This is particularly important when using ifort runtime options such as -check all. For example, you will first need to declare the following functions:
TOSS 4 systems include system-installed TBB headers and libraries in /usr/include/tbb and /usr/lib64. These headers and libraries may conflict with the versions that are included with the Intel compilers. If you would like to use the TBB headers and libraries that are included with the Intel compilers, you will need to add the "-tbb" flag to your compile and link flags. Furthermore, we advise that you add the "-Wl,-rpath=/usr/tce/packages/intel-classic/intel-classic-19.1.2/tbb/lib/intel64/gcc4.8" flag to your link line (note the exact path may differ depending on which compiler version you are using). An alternative to the "-Wl,-rpath" flag is to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment where you are running. You can run `ldd` on your executable to ensure that the proper library will be loaded.
What is the recommended fortran compiler for ANSYS CFX 221 and 222. I am using Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler Classic for applications running on IA-32, Version 2021.8.0. I am trying to run tutorial 19 to get figure out the copiler but When I want to compile and create shared library I get the below error:
I checked the link and IBM website basically there is no way to have the compatible fortran compiler with CFX as the version that CFX is based on is not available to download anymore. Do you have any solution to this problem?
I want to install a second compiler for fortran in my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS distribution, but I do not have any idea. Currently I have gfortran compiler. What is the best way to install an Intel Fortran compiler in my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS distribution?
There are several options for compilers that can be used on NERSC compute systems. Some of the compilers are open-source products, while others are commercial. These compilers may have different features, optimize some codes better than others, and/or support different architectures or standards. It is up to the user to decide which compiler is best for their particular application.
These base compilers are loaded into the user environment via the programming environment modules. They can then be invoked through compiler wrappers (recommended) or on their own. All compilers on NERSC machines are able to compile codes written in C, C++, or Fortran, and provide support for OpenMP.
