Hi,
I am trying to compile lammps with Kokkos package for KNL architecture.
My compiler is intel/16.0.3 with intel mpi.
I tried this:
make yes-kokkos
make yes-user-reaxc
make kokkos_phi
I am getting this error:
cc1plus: error: bad value (knl) for -march=switch
cc1plus: error: bad value (knl) for -mtune=switch
I also tried with gcc compiler. In this case it compiled successfully but this case performance was poor.
As an example:
mpirun -np 2 ./lmp_kokkos_phi -k on t 2 -sf kk -in in.batio3
It runs but if i increase the number of threads
mpirun -np 2 ./lmp_kokkos_phi -k on t 4 -sf kk -in in.batio3
It starts running but not doing integration part:
Time step : 0.25
WARNING: Fixes cannot send data in Kokkos communication, switching to classic communication (…/comm_kokkos.cpp:382)
with this warning.
I have this cpu 1.40GHz Xeon Phi 7250 (Knights Landing)
Looks like it supposed to have 68 cores. Simulating system contains only 5k atoms.
Regards.
