Compilers and development tools

GNU

Intel

We have supported versions of the following commercial tools, currently installed under /opt/intel:

To access the documentation pages, use firefox on a login node:

  • /opt/intel/fce/version/doc/Doc_Index.htm
  • /opt/intel/cce/version/doc/Doc_Index.htm
  • /opt/intel/mkl/version/doc/Doc_index.htm

Note on binary architectures

CPU architecture labels used by Intel and others can be confusing and have changed over time. Here's a summary of the labels and directory names commonly used:

32, ia32, x86
legacy 32-bit x86 generations up to Pentium 4 and Intel Core
em64t, Intel-64, x86_64, AMD-64
64-bit generations of the Xeon branded CPUs, and the Core 2 generation, mostly compatible with AMD's Opteron
64, ia64, Itanium
Itanium – limited ia32 support, but none for x86_64; not used here.

The cce, fce, and idbe directories above provide the 64-bit em64t versions appropriate for the Xeon processors, with ia32 versions being available under cc, fc, idb to compile and run legacy applications.

Libraries

Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL)

Migrated to HPC/Software/Modules/mkl

VTK

PETSc

  • TODO: Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation

MPI

OpenMPI

This is the primary and recommended MPI version. It supports Ethernet and Infiniband interconnect.

MPICH/MPIC2

TBD

Intel MPI
