Abinit 6.8.1 In Parallel With OpenMPI 1.4.1 In Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (And Related)

It has been a banner week for Ubuntu installations.

The installation of Abinit 5.6.5 with OpenMPI 1.3.1 (previously reported at www.somewhereville.com/?p=384) wasn't bad, but several games had to be played (at the time) to make everything compile and run correctly. I'm pleased to report that Abinit 6.8.1 and OpenMPI 1.4.1 seem to play better together, this simplified considerably over the previous installation guide by the use of the apt-get version of OpenMPI 1.4.1. A bit of option calling in the configure step is needed (and the errors for not doing it are included below).

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude upgrade

sudo shutdown -r now

pico .profile

INSERT: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/"

source .profile

gunzip abinit-6.8.1.tar.gz 

tar xvf abinit-6.8.1.tar 

cd abinit-6.8.1/

./configure --enable-mpi --with-mpi-level=2 FC=mpif90 --with-linalg-libs="-llapack -lblas"

make mj4

sudo make install

For the "why?" crowd, a bit more about the steps is provided below.

1. apt-get Installs

As has been standard procedure for all of my posts like this, I blindly install a "core set" of things I've needed for various other build processes and am largely uninterested in identifying specific things needed by each program I build (hard drives are cheap). This list below includes plenty you likely don't need for Abinit installations. Feel free to send me a shortened list if you diagnose it.

The list below includes the OpenMPI installation and all of the build tools needed by Abinit. I finish the installation with an aptitude update/upgrade (which one can skip). If you're using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu, you'll get plenty of errors about not being able to find various lib32 files. Simply delete the "lib32___" stuff.

user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ sudo apt-get install autoconf bison build-essential cmake csh doxygen flex fort77 freeglut3-dev g++ g++-multilib gcc gcc-multilib gettext gfortran gnuplot ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32gcc1-dbg lib32gfortran3 lib32gomp1 lib32mudflap0 lib32ncurses5 lib32nss-mdns lib32z1 libavdevice52 libblas3gf libbz2-dev libc6-dev-i386 libc6-i386 libfreeimage-dev libglew1.5-dev liblapack3gf libnetcdf-dev libopenal1 libopenexr-dev libopenmpi-dev libpng12-dev libqt4-dev libssl-dev libstdc++6-4.3-dbg libstdc++6-4.3-dev libstdc++6-4.3-doc libxext-dev libxi-dev libxml-simple-perl libxmu-dev libxt-dev mercurial netcdf-bin nfs-common nfs-kernel-server openmpi-bin patch portmap python2.6-dev rpm ssh tcsh xorg-dev zlib1g-dev libblas-doc libblas-dev liblapack-doc liblapack-dev
user@machine:~$ sudo aptitude update
user@machine:~$ sudo aptitude upgrade
user@machine:~$ sudo shutdown -r now

2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH Addition To .profile

If you're using a 32-bit Ubuntu install, change the "lib64" to simply "lib".

user@machine:~$ pico .profile

Copy and paste the following into your .profile.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib/"

Crtl-X and Yes.

user@machine:~$ source .profile

3. Installing Abinit 6.8.1

And the fun begins.

user@machine:~$ gunzip abinit-6.8.1.tar.gz 
user@machine:~$ tar xvf abinit-6.8.1.tar 
user@machine:~$ cd abinit-6.8.1/

NOTE: I performed several problematic trials before a successful parallel installation. If you saw the following from previous attempts…

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.dump.in'

… don't diagnose, just delete the current directory and re-extract a fresh copy of the abinit source.

My first simple ./configure run produced the following output:

DO NOT USE: user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ ./configure

...

Summary of important options:

  * C compiler      : gnu version 4.4
  * Fortran compiler: gnu version 4.4
  * architecture    : unknown unknown (64 bits)

  * debugging       : basic
  * optimizations   : standard

  * MPI    enabled  : no
  * MPI-IO enabled  : no
  * GPU    enabled  : no (none)

  * TRIO   flavor = netcdf+etsf_io-fallback
  * TIMER  flavor = abinit (libs: ignored)
  * LINALG flavor = netlib-fallback (libs: internal)
  * FFT    flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * MATH   flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * DFT    flavor = libxc-fallback+atompaw-fallback+bigdft-fallback+wannier90-fallback

Configuration complete.
You may now type "make" to build ABINIT.
(or, on a SMP machine, "make mj4", or "make multi multi_nprocs=")

Note the lack of MPI-enabling. Changing the options in configure to announce-enable MPI and specify the compiler location…

DO NOT USE: user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ ./configure --enable-mpi --with-mpi-prefix="/usr/bin"

… did show MPI enabled.

The thrill of ./configure victory was short-lived. My first attempt to make ended as follows:

DO NOT USE: user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ make mj4

...

As usual, I put the error here because you're likely searching against the same errors in your build attempts. Your first solution might be to try to force specify the fortran compiler (especially if you're familiar with the integer(XMPI_OFFSET_KIND) errors, which appeared to me at first blush to be something specific to the GNU fortran compiler choice). As the code's in f90, calling f77 won't do you much good…

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/abinit-6.8.1/plugins'
make: *** [multi] Error 2

Specifying gfortran might be your next solution,

DO NOT USE: user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ ./configure --enable-mpi="yes" FC=gfortran --with-mpi-prefix=1

...

configure: Initializing MPI support
configure: looking for MPI in 1
configure: error: use --with-mpi-prefix or set FC, not both

And you may reach your moment of clarity. Why are you calling the non-mpi fortran compiler? Right! The BLAS and LAPACK are late additions (may or may not improve run speed).

Summary of important options:

  * C compiler      : gnu version 4.4
  * Fortran compiler: gnu version 4.4
  * architecture    : unknown unknown (64 bits)

  * debugging       : basic
  * optimizations   : standard

  * MPI    enabled  : yes
  * MPI-IO enabled  : yes
  * GPU    enabled  : no (none)

  * TRIO   flavor = netcdf+etsf_io-fallback
  * TIMER  flavor = abinit (libs: ignored)
  * LINALG flavor = netlib-fallback (libs: internal)
  * FFT    flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * MATH   flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * DFT    flavor = libxc-fallback+atompaw-fallback+bigdft-fallback+wannier90-fallback

Configuration complete.
You may now type "make" to build ABINIT.
(or, on a SMP machine, "make mj4", or "make multi multi_nprocs=")

With that complete, we "make" our parallel Abinit install.

user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ make mj4
user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ sudo make install

The above runs successfully (for me) and places abinit in /usr/local/bin (which is already in your path).

To run tests, simply do the following:

user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1$ cd tests/
user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1/tests$ ls
user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1/tests$ make tests_min
user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1/tests$ 
user@machine:~/abinit-6.8.1/tests$ exit
user@adamant49:~/Programs$ exit

The above may not be an "optimized" installation, but works perfectly well (look for a possible tweak to the above that may effort some optimization).

Finally, running Abinit in parallel with OpenMPI is quite simple.

mpirun -np 4 /usr/local/bin/abinit < RUN.files >& RUN.log &

No -machinefile is needed, as we're running in SMP mode, and no mpd daemon needs to be started.
