Intel software updates

Posted: June 25, 2009

We have upgraded Intel C/C++ and Fortran compilers to version 11.1. No change on user end should be necessary as we set the new version path to be a standard. With this version, we also installed 32 bit versions of these compilers for those users whose desktops are still 32 bit. To access the 32 bit version, in your .tcshrc, put:
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/icc/std/bin/ia32/iccvars_ia32.csh
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/ifort/std/bin/ia32/ifortvars_ia32.csh

We have also installed new version of Intel Cluster Toolkit (ICT) - which we are using for MPI profiling and MPI error checking via the Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector (ITAC). ICT license also includes the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) and Intel MPI (necessary for the MPI error checking). The MPI is not installed yet as it had problem with a license - we'll install it once we hear back from Intel.
To source the whole Toolkit, do:
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/ict/3.2.1.015/ictvars.csh

Separate components of the Toolkit can be sourced as:
MKL:
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/mkl/10.2.0.013/tools/environment/mklvarsem64t.csh
ITAC:
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/itac/std/bin/itacvars.csh
MPI:
source /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/intel/impi/std/bin/impivars.csh

Intel has an excellent documentation on their ICT website at:
