Ok, I think I found the cause of the SPARC segv when trying to use a 64-bit compiled Open MPI library. If one does not set the WHATMPI variable in the Bmake.inc it defaults to UseF77Mpi which assumes all handles are ints. This is a correct assumption if you are using the F77 interfaces but th

Sorry for the long delay in response. Let's get back to the beginning: My original compiler configuration was gcc from the standard Leopard Developer Tools supplied off the installation DVD. This version was 4.0.1. However, it has been significantly modified by Apple to work with Leopard. I

Greg, I would disagree with your statement that the available fortran options can't pass a cost-benefit analysis. I have found that for scientific programming (e.g., Livermore Fortran Kernels and actual PDE solvers) that code produced by the intel compiler runs 25 to 55% faster than code

Ralph, here is Moe's response. The srun options he mentions look promising: they can signal an otherwise happy orted daemon (sitting on a waitpid) that something is amiss elsewhere in the job. Do orteds change their session ID? Thanks Moe, Federico -Original Message- From: jet...@llnl.gov

All, I really didn't want to start a new thread discussing the virtues and vices of every compiler, since this is hardly my forte and the opportunity to offend someone is fairly high, whilst making myself look clownish What I should have said was that "for my organization one cannot ju
