Compiling SPRNG

SPRNG is the Scalable Parallel Random Number Generator.[1] We will compile with Intel Composer XE and Intel MKL.[2]

Configure♯

Environment♯

These modules are loaded:

1) shared 2) proteus 3) gcc/4.8.1 4) sge/univa 5) intel/composerxe/2015.1.133 6) proteus-openmpi/intel/2015/1.8.1-mlnx-ofed 7) automake/1.15 8) autoconf/2.69

Set these environment variables:

CXX=mpic++ F77=mpifort

Configure♯

./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -xHOST" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -xHOST" FFLAGS="-O3 -xHOST" --prefix=/mnt/HA/groups/myrsrchGrp/software --with-mpi --with-fortran > Configure.out 2>&1 &

Make♯

The source package seems to be missing at least one file that the Makefile refers to; also, a parallel build results in many errors. So, make and ignore errors:

make -k > Make.out 2>&1 &

And install:

make install > Make.install.out 2>&1 &

Check♯

cd check ./checksprng

You should get something like:
