Hi,
I've been debugging a build of Amber with an older version of Intel
compilers with Intel MPI (icc 12.0.0, impi 4.0.1). While building
pmemd I hit this error:
ifort: command line error: Unrecognized keyword 'array64byte' for
option '-align'
It seems this flag is a relatively recent introduction (hash ID
7b191fe02, Jan. of this year) and only gets added when intel
compilers are used with intel MPI. If I comment out this section of
configure2 (between lines 1481 and 1489) the compilation finishes
successfully. After some more testing the problematic flags seem to be
'-opt-streaming-cache-evict=0' as well as '-align array64byte'; the
former causes object files to not be generated by mpiifort.
Based on when these flags were added it seems their addition to
configure2 is related to the experimental intel MPI/OpenMP code. Do we
really need these flags for that or will it build without? If the
flags are necessary, maybe some sort of test should be introduced to
make sure the underlying compilers support them, or they are only on
when the MPI/OpenMP build is?
