How To Compile Gromacs 4.6.1 with OpenMPI 1.6.4 on CentOS

I took the following notes while installing Gromacs 4.6.1 recently. Hopefully others will find them useful. The software was compiled and installed on a CentOS 5.9 x86_64 containing QDR Infiniband. The system uses SGE (Grid Engine) as it's scheduler. Intel compilers 13.1.1 were used to compile both OpenMPI and Gromacs.

Intel Compilers

I used version 13.1.1 of the Intel compilers. I'm including the module file here for reference
#%Module

set ver 13.1.1
set arch intel64

set root /share/apps/intel/parallel_studio_xe_2013_update3/composer_xe_2013.3.163

set fcroot /opt/intel/Compiler/$ver/$fcver
set mklroot $root/mkl

set msg "This module adds Intel compilers v$ver to various paths"

proc ModulesHelp { } {
   puts stderr $msg
}

Build OpenMPI 1.6.4

First, build the latest OpenMPI with the Intel compilers. This version of OpenMPI will reside in the Gromacs 4.6.1 install path.
  1. Create the install base directory
    cd /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
    wget http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.4.tar.bz2
    
  2. Create the build script for Intel compilers: /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build/build-openmpi-intel.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    . /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
    ver=1.6
    rel=1.6.4
    grover=4.6.1
    src="openmpi-${rel}.tar.bz2"
    url="http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v${ver}/downloads/${src}"
    compiler="intel"
    basedir="/share/apps/gromacs/${grover}/openmpi"
    prefix="${basedir}/${rel}-${compiler}"
    
    if [ -d $prefix ]; then
      echo "Installation directory already exists, exiting to prevent overwrite: $prefix";
      exit 1
    else
      echo "Verified installation directory does not exist: $prefix"
    fi
    
    if [ ! -f $src ]; then
      echo "Downloading source code from: $url";
      wget $url;
    else
      echo "Using existing source code: $src";
    fi
    
    if [ -d "openmpi-${rel}" ]; then
      echo "Removing existing build directory ./openmpi-${rel}"
      rm -rf openmpi-${rel};
    fi
    
    echo "Extracting $src"
    tar -jxf $src
    cd openmpi-${rel}
    
    echo "Building OpenMPI $rel for Intel compilers"
    echo "Running configure"
    module purge
    module load intel/intel-compilers-13.1.1
    CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort ./configure --with-sge --with-openib --prefix=$prefix --enable-static --enable-shared
    
    make all install
    module purge
    
    cd ..
    
  3. Run the compile and install
    ./build-openmpi-intel.sh | tee openmpi-1.6.4-intel.log
    
  4. Create the module file (based off of [http://www.levlafayette.com/node/145 this example]) in the Gromacs base directory
    mkdir -p /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel
    vim /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel/1.6.4
    
    #%Module1.0#####################################################################

    set ver [lrange [split [ module-info name ] / ] 1 1 ]
    set name [lrange [split [ module-info name ] / ] 0 0 ]
    set loading [module-info mode load]

    #set compiler [lrange [split $name - ] 1 1 ]
    set compiler "intel"
    set compilerver "13.1.1"
    
    proc ModulesHelp { } {
      puts stderr "\tThis module sets the envinronment for $name v$ver compiled\n\twith Intel v13.1.1 compilers"
    }
    
    module-whatis   "Set environment variables to use $name version $ver"
    
    if { $loading && ![ is-loaded $compiler/$compilerver ] } {
      module load $compiler/$compilerver
    }
    
    set basedir /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/openmpi/${ver}-$compiler
    
    prepend-path --delim " " CPPFLAGS -I$basedir/include

    prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH $basedir/lib

    prepend-path PATH $basedir/bin
    
    setenv  MPI_DIR         $basedir/
    setenv  MPI_HOME        $basedir/
    setenv  OPENMPI_ROOT    $basedir/
    
  5. Run a test
    • Create the input C file /share/apps/openmpi/build/mpi-helloworld.c
      #include <stdio>
      #include <string>
      #include <stddef>
      #include <stdlib>
      #include "mpi.h"
      
      main(int argc, char **argv ) {
          int rank, size;
          int buflen = 512;
          char name[buflen];
          
          MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
          MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&size);
          MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
      
          gethostname(name, buflen);
          
          printf( "P rank %d of %d, host %s\n", rank, size, name);
      
          MPI_Finalize();
      }
      
    • Compile mpi-helloworld.c
      module load /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel/1.6.4
      mpicc -o mpi-helloworld-intel mpi-helloworld.c
      
    • run it as a job
      module purge
      module load /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel/1.6.4
      qsub -V -b y \
         -l h_rt=00:15:00 \
         -l vf=256M \
         -j y \
         -pe openmpi\* 8 \
         mpirun -n 8 /share/apps/openmpi/build/mpi-helloworld-intel  
      

Build Gromacs 4.6.1

Official Gromacs 4.6 build instructions They have changed dramatically from versions 4.5 and prior. One requirement listed is that we need CMake version 2.8 or later. EPEL provides CMake 2.6.4, so we'll need to build CMake from scratch.
  1. Download the latest CMake from here: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
    sudo mkdir /share/apps/cmake
    sudo chown mhanby:atlab /share/apps/cmake
    cd /share/apps/cmake
    wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz
    tar -zxf cmake-2.8.10.2-Linux-i386.tar.gz 
    
  2. Create the build directory and download the source
    mkdir -p /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
    cd /share/apps/gromacs/4.6.1/build
    wget ftp://ftp.gromacs.org/pub/gromacs/gromacs-4.6.1.tar.gz
    tar -zxf gromacs-4.6.1.tar.gz 
    mkdir gromacs-4.6.1/build
    cd gromacs-4.6.1/build
    
  3. Create the module files
    mkdir /share/apps/modulefiles/gromacs-intel
    vim /share/apps/modulefiles/gromacs-intel/4.6.1
    
    #%Module
    
    set ver 4.6.1
    set app "Gromacs"
    set url "http://gromacs.org/"
    set approot /share/apps/gromacs/$ver
    set msg "This module adds $app v$ver to various paths\nWebsite: $url\n\n"
    
    proc ModulesHelp { } {
       puts stderr $msg
    }
    
    module-whatis  $msg
    
    module use --append $approot/modulefiles
    module load intel/13.1.1
    #module load $approot/modulefiles/gromacs-openmpi-intel/1.6.4
    module load gromacs-openmpi-intel/1.6.4

FYI: in my experience, gcc 4.7 generates faster code than Intel 12 and 13 (the latter seems to be even slightly slower than the former).

Thanks for the reply, I'll compile a GCC 4.7 version and have one of our Gromacs users do a benchmark test.

That's good news, score one for open source :-)
