Reminders for specific physics/astronomy/cosmology software

CosmoMC + WMAP

CosmoMC without iFort and with GCC6

After compiling GCC6, you need to compile LAPACK with GCC6 and add it to library path. You will likely get some gomp related errors. I got around this by manually copying files like libgomp.spec and libgomp.so into library paths.

Healpy with Intel compilers

In the git cloned directory, do:

CXX=icpc CXXL=icpc LDSHARED="icc -shared" CC=icc python setup.py build_ext -i --compiler=intelem -c icc -vvv

and add to the Python path.

FFTW idiosyncracies

On systems like Niagara, an Intel version of fftw is the default module. This has a bug which makes it impossible to FFT multi-dimensional arrays.

If you are going to compile FFTW yourself, then you have to use gcc, and this is what it will typically look like:

``

single precision

./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ CFLAGS=-fPIC –enable-openmp –enable-mpi –enable-sse –enable-sse2 –enable-avx –enable-avx2 –enable-float –enable-shared –prefix=/home/r/rbond/msyriac/.local/lib make -j24 CFLAGS=-fPIC make install make clean

double precision

./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ CFLAGS=-fPIC –enable-openmp –enable-mpi –enable-sse2 –enable-avx –enable-avx2 –enable-shared –prefix=/home/r/rbond/msyriac/.local make -j24 CFLAGS=-fPIC make install make clean ./configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ CFLAGS=-fPIC –enable-openmp –enable-mpi –enable-long-double –enable-shared –prefix=/home/r/rbond/msyriac/.local make -j24 CFLAGS=-fPIC make install make clean ``

and pyfftw with

pip install pyfftw --user
