Progressive Lab for Linux

The goal of the previous lab was to run an executable in batch mode. In this section we will take a slight detour and use function calls to the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) in a program. The codes in this section of the lab will not be used for the remaining lab sections.

Prerequisites:

1. Read the Software module.
2. You will need the following files, all copied from /ctc/vwlabs/Progressive to $HOME/lab or ~<your_userid>/lab in the first lab section:
   • make file: makemklc or makemklf
   • input file: cblas_dgemmx.d or dgemmx.d
   • batch scripts:
     • mklc.xml and mklc.sh or
     • mklf.xml and mklf.sh
   • source files:
     • cblas_dgemmx.c and common_func.c or
     • dgemmx.f and common_func.f
   • .so files: libguide.so libimf.so libirc.so

Compiling and linking for Intel C/C++:

1. Set up the environment for the Intel C compiler
   • in bash: source /opt/intel/cc/9.1.045/bin/iccvars.sh
   • in tcsh: source /opt/intel/cc/9.1.045/bin/iccvars.csh
2. make -f makemklc
3. You should have an executable cblas_dgemmx

Compiling and linking for Intel Fortran:

1. Set up the environment for the Intel Fortran compiler
   • in bash: source /opt/intel/fc/9.1.032/bin/ifortvars.sh
   • in tcsh: source /opt/intel/fc/9.1.032/bin/ifortvars.csh
2. make -f makemklf
3. You should have an executable dgemmx

Run in Batch

1. Review the script, mklc.sh or mklf.sh
2. Submit batch job:
   vsched -s mklc.xml or
   vsched -s mklf.xml

Results

The batch scripts create a directory $HOME/lab/output into which the output is copied.

Stdout and stderr are directed to cblas_dgemmx.stdout, which should contain:
