Since i couldn't join todays meeting, here are some comments on the outcome.
Regarding the suggested foss/2017a, OpenMPI 2.0.1 is way better than
1.10 in my opinion. Esp since i've seen cases of 1.10.3 failing to
actually start... probably a weird corner case, but it's repeatable.
FFTW 3.3.5 (at least for this toolchain) should be compiled with
--enable-sse2 --enable-avx --enable-avx2
and preferably with --enable-avx512 too.
3.3.5 built that way is safe to run on anything from sse2-only and upwards.
And 6.2(3) is supposed to be able to build it that way even on sse2-only
systems.
Thanks for the feedback!
Have you seen any big problems pop up with using OpenMPI 2.0.1, due the
backwards-incompatible changes with OpenMPI 1.10.x?
What have you tried so far on top of a foss toolchain using OpenMPI 2.0.1?
The suggestions w.r.t. FFTW make a lot of sense, thanks for the reminder.
I plan to open the pull requests for the 2017a toolchain soon, I will
definitely leave ample time to provide feedback there too.
regards,
Kenneth
