Hi Jason,
In this version of ambertools all modules except mtkpp, mdgx, and
xtalutil have been passed with pgi compiler . As for the *xtalutil* and *
mdgx*, the problem relates with some "inline" in the *SpecialMath.c,
Thermostats.c* and *CrdManip.c* in the mdgx/ and *crdmanip.c* in the
xtalutil/Clibs/, which could be removed and optimized directly by the pgi
compiler flag "-Mipa=fast,inline", or the Conditional compilation symbols
could be added in these c source file. Therefore these modules could be also
compiled with this solution. As for the mtkpp, there are lots of compiler
error with pgi even if the removing of "-Wall" and some modification of
head file, which invovles redefintion of some variables, which has been
already defined in the include/ folder of pgi installation directory. Hope
Ben will give patch about it. The serial version of ambertools compiled with
pgi passed all the tests in the amber11/AmberTools/test. it should be noted
that the mdgx and mtkpp may be not included.
All the tests has been in the Finished test suite for AmberTools at Thu Mar
17 00:26:36 CST 2011.
505 file comparisons passed
0 file comparisons failed
0 tests experienced errors
Test log file saved as logs/test_at_serial/2011-03-16_23-45-21.log
No test diffs to save!
I am not sure whether I have permission to upload it or not. Thus I attached
the new configuration file in this email. you can also have a try on the
athena or kraken which have pgi compiler.
Best Regards,
Lin
