If you run into troubles, it is always a good habit to report the following information:
  • the way build.mrcc was invoked
  • the output of build.mrcc
  • compiler version (for example: ifort -V, gfortran -v)
  • blas/lapack versions
  • as well as gcc and glibc versions

as well as the value of the relevant environmental variables, such OMP_NUM_THREADS, etc.

This information helps us a lot when figuring out what is going on with your compilation :)

Intel compiler warning was created by rkanters
Hi,

I just compiled mrcc.2014-07-10 with the Intel 11 compiler (./build.mrcc Intel -pOMP) and I get the following warning message (the only one in the list):

Compiling ovirt with options -fpp -O3 -i8 -assume byterecl -DIntel -DINT64 -DOMP
An internal threshold was exceeded for routine MAIN__ and optimization level may be reduced. See software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intern...reshold-was-exceeded for more information and advice.

When following that link, I see this warning suggests that it is possible that threading is not really used for the code and that a compiler option -override-limits could fix the issue.

Is this something to worry about? Should I play around with the build program to see whether I can force this additional option to be passed on the the compiler?

Hello,
I don't think you should worry about that. Only the optimization level was reduced, and in the worst case the ovirt program will run slower. To avoid this you can try the -override-limits compiler option, but the best solution is to upgrade to the last Intel version (14.0.2).

Best regards,

Dear Mihaly,

The best solution wasn't an option (because of lack of budget), so I used the -override-limits. After running MRCC for a bit, it seems that my worry about ovirt not possibly using multiple threads because of the compiler limits was indeed not something to worry about. I have not seen ovirt at over 100% cpu usage, so I assume it wasn't multithreaded to begin with.
