Configuration information for Linux Itanium (IA-64) Compiles

Gentle Users,

John Taylor at Argonne National Laboratory has kindly provided some suggestions for compiling MM5 MPP on Linux Itanium systems. Note that some of the suggested settings are ANL specific. Thank you, John.

Tera-regards,

Rotang

Listed below are the compilation flags that I use here at Argonne on
our TeraGrid IA-64 cluster using mpich over myrinet and the Intel
compilers. The Intel efc compilation leads to results consistent with
my compilation of MM5 using the Intel compilers on ia-32, although
their are important differences in the compilation flags. MM5 runs
significantly faster on our IA-64 hardware compared to IA-32, however
additional compiler options may enhance performance beyond what we are
seeing. The LINUX_MPIHOME variable must be set to point to your mpich
build using the Intel compilers - this should be the only thing that
you need to change.  Don't forget that you also need to set the
environment variables in order to read and write big-endian data.

 [Rotang's note: setenv F_UFMTENDIAN big]
