Compiling Source Code

• Serial Compiling

Serial Compiling

Serial Compiling is the normal program on HPC. For example, This is an example Fortran “hello, world” program.

Example Fortran code
---------------------
!  Fortran 90
PROGRAM hello
    CHARACTER(30) name           ! Fortran 90
    CALL getenv("HOST",name)     ! get run-host name
    PRINT *, 'Runhost:', name, '   hello, world'
END PROGRAM hello   

Example: Intel compiler for serial mode

We load the Intel compiler module including Fortran language by using the following commands.

$ module load intel
$ ifort .f90 -o  

Example: Free and open-source software เช่น Foss compiler for serial mode

Alternatively, we can use the Foss compiler, which also provides the Fortran language.

$ module load foss
$ gfortran .f90 -o  

Language	Intel Compiler	Foss Compiler
Fortran 90	$ ifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram	$ gfortran myprogram.f90 -o myprogram
C	$ icc myprogram.c -o myprogram	$ gcc myprogram.c -o myprogram
C++	$ icpc myprogram.cpp -o myprogram	$ g++ myprogram.cpp -o myprogram

Parallel Compiling

OpenMPI and Intel MPI (IMPI) use the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) standard method to run parallel tasks, but requires code that supports parallel tasks. This is an example of using MPI and compilers for C, C++, and Fortran to run tasks on the cluster.

Example MPI C code
---------------------

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    // Initialize the MPI environment
    MPI_Init(NULL, NULL);

    // Get the number of processes
    int world_size;
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &world_size);

    // Get the rank of the process
    int world_rank;
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &world_rank);

    // Get the name of the processor
    char processor_name[MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME];
    int name_len;
    MPI_Get_processor_name(processor_name, &name_len);

    // Print off a hello world message
    printf("Hello world from processor %s, rank %d out of %d processors\n",
           processor_name, world_rank, world_size);

    // Finalize the MPI environment.
    MPI_Finalize();
}

Example: Intel compiler for parallel mode

We load the Intel compiler module and compile C using the following commands.

$ module load intel
$ mpiicc .c -o  

Example: Free and open-source software เช่น Foss compiler for parallel mode

We load the Foss compiler module and compile C using the following commands.

$ module load foss          #foss is package for compiler
$ mpicc .c -o  

Language	Intel Compiler	Foss Compiler
Fortran 90	$ mpiifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram	$ mpifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram
C	$ mpiicc myprogram.c -o myprogram	$ mpicc myprogram.c -o myprogram
C++	$ mpiicpc myprogram.cpp -o myprogram	$ mpic++ myprogram.cpp -o myprogram
