- it is now possible to include the selected mpi version in the
top-level bashrc or prefs.sh file. For example,
WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI-4.1.1 or WM_MPLIB=openmpi-4.1.1
after evaluation of the config.sh/mpi, this will define
WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI-4.1.1 and FOAM_MPI=openmpi-4.1.1
During the wmake, the mpi-rules will first load the MPI 'family'
rules (OPENMPI in this example) before trying to load
version-specific rules if they exist.
NOTE: the regular user-defined prefs system is unaffected by this
change. This means it is still possible to use a file such as
'prefs.openmpi' to define the preferred version instead or as well.
However, it does mean inconsistent naming can be specified.
For example, specify WM_MPLIB=OPENMPI-4.1.1 at the top-level but
actually have FOAM_MPI=openmpi-4.0.6 in the prefs.openmpi file.
This will make the value of WM_MPLIB misleading.
CONFIG: foamConfigurePaths support for sys-openmpi major version
CONFIG: cleanup any shadow env variables
- prefix FOAM_MPI and library directories with 'sys-' for system
versions for uniform identication.
WM_MPLIB | libdir (FOAM_MPI) | old naming |
SYSTEMMPI | sys-mpi | mpi |
SYSTEMOPENMPI | sys-openmpi | openmpi-system |
- prefix preferences with 'prefs.' to make them more easily
identifiable, and update bin/tools/create-mpi-config accordingly
Old name: config.{csh,sh}/openmpi
New name: config.{csh,sh}/prefs.openmpi
- additional mpi preferences now available:
* prefs.intelmpi
* prefs.mpich
...
CONFIG: added hook for EASYBUILDMPI (eb-mpi), somewhat like USERMPI
- EasyBuild uses mpicc when compiling, so no explicit wmake rules are
used
ENH: support different major versions for system openmpi
- for example, with
WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI2
defines FOAM_MPI=sys-openmpi2 and thus creates lib/sys-openmpi2
ENH: centralize handling of mpi as 'mpi-rules'
Before:
sinclude $(GENERAL_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
sinclude $(DEFAULT_RULES)/mplib$(WM_MPLIB)
ifeq (,$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN))
FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN := $(FOAM_LIBBIN)/$(FOAM_MPI)
endif
After:
include $(GENERAL_RULES)/mpi-rules
- also allows variants such as SYSTEMOPENMPI2 to be handled separately
