Is taking place which is affecting me later. It appears I am not using intel mkl libraries .....My 2nd question is I require archive file of arpack ie libarpack.a.a filesThe Cmake command does not produce libarpack.a file (if i am not mistaken). it needs to be created manually using ar q libarpack.a *.omy concern is the .o files are in SRC, UTIL and Parpack directories and may also be elsewhere ARPACK-NG folder. which folder should i consider if i am working with MPI/64 bit interface with MPI=ON2b what is parapck3 If I am compiling using simple ifort (without mpi) shoud i keep MPI=0 or OFF and subsquently do i need parpack filesdeepest regardsvs Hi Vardaan,1) The BLAS and LAPACk comes with intel mkl. As you have parallel studio installed mkl is included in that. Please check your mkl installation by following below link: Set the environment variables by running the scripts as mentioned in the below link: The PARPACK as mentioned in the readme.md file means Parallel ARPACK routines. The subroutines invloving MPI are considered as parallel and placed under PARPACK . If you want to use MPI subroutines you have to include the *.o files in PARPACK in the static library you are creating.3) If you do not want the MPI subroutines you can exclude them by setting a flag in CMAKE -D MPI=OFF which will disable the parallel support and PARPACK will not be created.If your initial query is resolved please raise a new thread for any further questions.ThanksPrasanth hi PrashanthMy simple query is what commands do i need to compile ARPACk using interl compiler and MKL libraries...by defaults it is taking GNU libraries. example: to test arpack with sequential ILP64 MKL assuming you use gnu compilers ```$ ./bootstrap $ export FFLAGS='-I/usr/include/mkl' $ export FCFLAGS='-I/usr/include/mkl' $ export LIBS='-Wl,--no-as-needed -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm -ldl' $ export INTERFACE64=1 $ ./configure --with-blas=mkl_gf_ilp64 --with-lapack=mkl_gf_ilp64 $ make all check```How to use INTEL MLL LIb The sceenshot that you sent, seems the RPACK was compiled using MKL libraries.thanksvs Dwadasi, Prasanth (Intel) wrote:Hi Vardaan,1)I am attaching my cmake output ,here you can see from the highlighted line INTERFACE64 :1The 64-bit integer interface (ILP64) for ARPACK, BLAS and LAPACK is set to 1.

Though I am using intel but i am not getting same files (.so) as yours. there is no intel file ? is it because of environment settings ? how can get same as that yours. I strongly feel mixing

This page describes different resource configurations for running Lumerical FDTD simulations for different use cases. Note: Resource configuration for running FDTD on GPU can be found in the Getting started with running FDTD on GPU Knowledge Base article.Default resource configurationThe default configuration is appropriate for running simulations on the local computer.The simulation job is run using multiple MPI processes with each process utilizing 1 core.Starting with 2022 R1.1, running with either Microsoft MPI or Intel MPI, processor binding is enabled by default on Windows. TIP: Determine the optimum resource configuration for FDTD simulations. Resource configuration without using MPIIt is possible to run a simulation job without using MPI. This is occasionally done when there are issues installing or running with MPI. Simulation speed should be very similar to the default configuration. To run without MPI, Open 'Resources', select the resource line, 'Edit' and select 'Local Computer' as the 'Job launching preset'. Set 'Threads' to the number of cores available on your computer. Configuration for parameter sweep and optimizationParameter sweep or optimization jobs can run (1) sequentially on a local workstation or (2) concurrently on a single powerful machine or (3) concurrently across several machines. The latter option can be done with or without a job scheduler and using local workstations or cloud resources.The default resource configuration runs sweep/optimization jobs sequentially on a local machine. Depending on your simulation and machine's resources, you can run sweeps concurrently. Set 'threads' to 1, enter the number of 'processes' to use per-sweep and 'capacity' to the number of sweeps running concurrently. Ensure that:threads * processes * capacity Try to test with different (processes * capacity) combinations for optimum performance.TIP: See concurrent computing for details on running simulations concurrently on multiple machines or remote clusters.Distributed resource configuration Simulations that require large amounts of memory can be distributed across several nodes of a cluster or cloud platform. See distributed computing and parallel job configuration for details. Cluster job scheduler resource configuration integration Running simulation from the design environment to a cluster through a job scheduler can be done from the resource configuration utility. See our job scheduler integration page for details.Calculate solver license usageThe number of solver/accelerator/HPC licenses required to run your jobs depends on the number of cores used, the number of concurrent simulations, the type of job, and the type of license you have purchased. See the Understanding solver, accelerator, and HPC license consumption page for details.

Versions:- Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkits 21.4- PBS version: 2020.1.3- OS: CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)I would like to echo the issue that other users are having with multi-node jobs (oneAPI HPC v21.4).The error is as follow:[mpiexec@node8103] check_exit_codes(../../../../../src/pm/i_hydra/libhydra/demux/hydra_demux_poll.c:117): unable to run bstrap_proxy on node8104 (pid 65308, exit code 256[mpiexec@node8103] Possible reasons: [mpiexec@node8103] 1. Host is unavailable. Please check that all hosts are available. [mpiexec@node8103] 2. Cannot launch hydra_bstrap_proxy or it crashed on one of the hosts. Make sure hydra_bstrap_proxy is available on all hosts and it has right permissions. [mpiexec@node8103] 3. Firewall refused connection. Check that enough ports are allowed in the firewall and specify them with the I_MPI_PORT_RANGE variable. [mpiexec@node8103] 4. pbs bootstrap cannot launch processes on remote host. You may try using -bootstrap option to select alternative launcher.

The issue can be solved by setting : I_MPI_HYDRA_BOOTSTRAP=ssh, which is the default according to documentation. Thus:- 2021.3: both pbsdsh and ssh works as hydra launcher - 2021.4: only ssh works as launcher. It could be a problem with either PBS or Intel MPIMy questions are:- Is there a minimal version requirement for PBS ?- Will there be a performance degradation when forcing 'ssh' as launcher ?Thanks.

This page shows the process of running simulations in parallel on the local computer or remotely on another computer. This can be done from the solver's CAD or from the command prompt in Windows or the terminal in LinuxRequisitesSet up your network or computers for parallel computing and configure passwordless sign in on Linux. See this article for details. The shared folder/network drive should have the same mapping for all PCs that will be running simulations.Register your login credentials with Intel MPI on Windows. See this KB page for details.A solve license for each computer that is running a simulation up to a maximum of 32 cores/threads.License sharing will be used when running concurrent simulation on the local computer (localhost) using up to a total of 32 cores/threads on the localhost per solve license. See this KB page for details. Run simulations concurrently from the CADOpen the Lumerical CAD for your solver. Add the simulation file into the job queue using the 'addjob' script command.You can add as many simulation files for the current solver to the job queue. Configure your resources to run 1 or more simulations by setting the number of processes, threads, and capacity for each "host" in the resource configuration. To run the simulation remotely, simply enter the "hostname or IP address" of the remote machine.You can run simulations on your local host and/or remote machines depending on your resource configuration. Run the job queue using the 'runjobs' script command. To view the results or do your post, open the simulation file individually on the CAD.
