1 Download and Installation
WARNING: The Dacapo code is not being maintained any longer and should not be used for any new projects! The Dacapo code download server no longer exists.
Contents
1.1 Requirements
The new ASE version 3 package, unless you have a very good reason for using the old ASE version 2.
Warning due to the unmaintained Numeric package, ASE2 does not work on 64-bit systems with python version > 2.4. If this is you case please use the jacapo interface from the new ase package.
If you already have an installation of the old ASE2 package, it is enough just installing the Dacapo Python interface.
1.2 Installation
1.2.1 Installation of prebuilt binaries
Preferably install as RPM/deb. Configure the repositories https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/download.html#installation-with-package-manager-on-linux and install the dacapo package using your distribution package manager. On Debian/Ubuntu you may need additionally to set the DACAPOPATH, DACAPOEXE_SERIAL and DACAPOEXE_PARALLEL variables.
No further steps are necessary, please stop reading now!
If installing manually on Ubuntu see old instructions https://listserv.fysik.dtu.dk/pipermail/campos/2010-June/002635.html
If you prefer to install from tarballs the next section describes how the fortran program, pseudopotentials and python interface can be installed.
1.2.2 Dacapo fortran program and pseudopotentials
This section describes how the fortran program and pseudopotential are installed.
1.2.3 From svn
WARNING: The Dacapo code download server no longer exists.
This is the recommended method. The commands below will fetch the whole dacapo fortran and python source, and pseudopotentials:
cd svn checkout https://USER@svn.fysik.dtu.dk/projects/dacapo/trunk dacapo
where "USER@" part has to be skipped for anonymous access.
Alternatively, get the tar-ball (usually slightly outdated) here: campos-dacapo.
Only for a reference the Dacapo tar file contains the 2.7.7 version.
1.2.4 From RPM
Preferably install as RPMS: see Configure fys yum repository.
Warning: the section below is outdated, please ignore it.
A pretty outdated Dacapo 2.7.7 binary RPM (tested and built using Pentium 4) can be used to install Dacapo on a Pentium 4 system.
This will install pseudopotentials in /usr/share/dacapo/psp and binary executables in /usr/bin.
1.2.5 Dacapo binaries for different platforms
Warning: this section is outdated, please ignore it.
The page dacapo binaries list dacapo binaries for different platforms.
1.2.6 Compling the fortran source code
Compile the Dacapo source code by:
cd src gmake <arch> # Serial version gmake <arch> MP=mpi # Parallel MPI version
where <arch> is one of:
pglinux | Portland Group (PGI) pgf90 compiler on Linux |
intellinux | Intel ifort Fortran compiler version >=9.0 and MKL on Linux |
pathscale | Pathscale EKOpath pathf90 compiler for AMD64 and EM64T |
itanium | Intel ifort compiler version >=9.0 on SGI Itanium2 Linux |
intelmac | Intel ifort Fortran compiler + MKL, >= 9.x on Mac OS X |
g95linux | GNU g95 compiler on Linux |
gfortran_fnosecond_underscore | gcc-gfortran-4.1.1 compiler on CentOS |
gfortran_fsecond_underscore | gcc-gfortran-4.2.1 compiler on Ubuntu |
sun_ss10 | Sun sparcstation 10/20) |
ibm_power3 | RS/6000 power3 node |
ibm_power2_wide | RS/6000 wide power2 node |
ibm_power2_thin | RS/6000 thin/thin2 power2 node |
sgi | Silicon Graphics n32 ABI |
alpha | Compaq/Digital Alpha |
It is important to use the GNU gmake command on many UNIX systems, in stead of the system's own make command which may be incompatible with our Makefile.
Please see also the Notes for installation on specific computers below.
1.2.7 Installing the pseudopotentials
Get the pseudopotentials tar-ball here: campos-dacapo-pseudopotentials
The dacapo fortran program adds the enviroment variable DACAPOPATH to the pseudopotential filename (if the file is not found in the current working directiory). Copy all pseudopotentials to a directory and set the DACAPOPATH environment variable to this directory:
cp *.pseudo /some/directory/ setenv DACAPOPATH /some/directory/
1.2.8 Pseudopotential data files
Dacapo uses the Vanderbilt ultra-soft pseudopotentials which are read in from binary data files. It is important to compile Dacapo and NetCDF with appropriate compiler flags to enable fortran unformatted IEEE big-endian data files. Please consult this note from Vanderbilt.
Big-endian I/O is enabled in various compilers with compiler flags as follows:
- gfortran compiler: -fconvert=big-endian -frecord-marker=4
- Pathscale compiler: -byteswapio
- PGI compiler: -byteswapio
- Intel compiler: -convert big_endian
These flags should already be set in the Dacapo Makefile.
1.2.9 Dacapo Python interface
Warning due to the unmaintained Numeric package, the Dacapo Python interface (as ASE 2) does not work on 64-bit systems with python version > 2.4. If this is you case please ignore this section and use the dacapo interface from the new ase package.
Get the latest version of the dacapo python interface by either of these two methods:
svn (the commands below will fetch the whole dacapo fortran and python source, and pseudopotentials):
cd svn checkout https://USER@svn.fysik.dtu.dk/projects/dacapo/trunk dacapo cd dacapo/Python
where "USER@" part has to be skipped for anonymous access.
- alternatively, get the tar-ball (usually slightly outdated) here: Dacapo-0.9.4.
Install with the standard setup.py script (if you have root permission):
python setup.py install
If you do not have root permission use:
python setup.py install --prefix=/some/where/in/your/path
In this latter case you must set your PYTHONPATH environment variable, as directed by the setup.py script.
3) Alternative to step 2: Simply set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to your svn directory, i.e. ${HOME}/dacapo/Python if you followed step 1.2).
2 Running Dacapo in parallel
Dacapo can run in parallel using the MPI parallel library. You need to compile a parallel executable:
gmake <arch> MP=mpi
For getting dacapo to work in parallel with ASE you need to make a script dacapo.run, which should be executable and in your path. The jacapo project provides an example of such a script. PBS, Sun grid engine, and LoadLeveler batch systems are supported.
2.1 OpenMPI
For dacapo to run together with ASE you need a dacapo.run script in your path, that will start the correct dacapo executable. This OpenMPI dacapo.run script assumes you are running OpenMPI using the Torque/PBS batch system.
You might have to edit the location and names of the serial and parallel executable in this script, i.e the lines:
# Name of serial and parallel DACAPO executables DACAPOEXE="dacapo_2.7.7.run" DACAPOEXE_PAR="dacapo_2.7.7_mpi.run"
If OpenMPI is not installed under /usr you will also have to change this in the script.
Copy this script to /usr/local/bin/dacapo.run.
3 Notes for installation on specific computers
Dacapo can be built on a large number of different systems and compilers. This portability has been evolving over the years, and the supported systems are displayed by the command make in the top level source code directory. Below we give specific instructions for some systems which we actively use at our site.
If you would like to contribute new entries to the Makefile, correct errors, or add complete instructions for a new platform to the present Wiki page, please send an E-mail to support@fysik.dtu.dk.
If you would like to see how we install Dacapo etc. on our Niflheim Linux cluster and how we build RPM packages, please consult the Niflheim Wiki.
Note: the most commond compilation/linking problem concerns using of incorrect underscoring convention, when lot's of undefined reference errors appear, like:
../netcdf/gfortran_fsecond_underscore/netcdfinterface.o: In function `__netcdfinterface_MOD_local_error_handler': netcdfinterface.F:(.text+0xa3b): undefined reference to `nf_strerror__'
Please check your underscoring convention as described in this post.
3.1 Opteron (gfortran compiler)
This build assumes you have the ACML Math library installed. Below follows details on how to build the MPI, NetCDF and FFTW libraries needed by dacapo.
3.1.1 NetCDF (Network common Data Format)
Download the NetCDF software and read the NetCDF installation instructions. NetCDF version 3.6.1 or later is supported.
Build netcdf like this:
tar -zxf netcdf-3.6.1.tar.gz cd netcdf-3.6.1/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.gfortran \ FC=gfortran FCFLAGS=-O2 CC=gcc CXX=c++ CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran -fPIC"' make
and then install running as root:
make install
See also niflheim note on building a netcdf RPM.
3.1.2 FFTW (Fast Fourier Transform library)
Download version 2.1.5 here Build FFTW like this:
tar -zxf fftw-2.1.5.tar.gz cd fftw-2.1.5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.gfortran \ F77=gfortran CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O3 FFLAGS=-O3 --enable-shared --enable-threads make
and then as root:
make install
3.1.3 OpenMPI
OpenMPI is an open source implementation of the MPI message passing standard. Configure OpenMPI with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.gfortran --with-tm=/usr/local FC=gfortran F77=gfortran CC=gcc CXX=g++ \ FFLAGS=-O2 FCFLAGS=-O2 CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2
The flag --with-tm=/usr/local is used only with the Torque/PBS batch system (version 2.1 or later) and enables Torque's very fast Task Manager startup of MPI processes.
3.1.4 Dacapo
Get dacapo From svn, and go to src directory:
cd dacapo/src
Set the environment variables for blas/lapack, NETCDF, and FFTW, for example:
setenv BLASLAPACK "-L/opt/acml-4.0.1/gfortran64/lib -lacml -L/opt/acml-4.0.1/gfortran64/lib -lacml -lgfortran" setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.gfortran/lib64 setenv FFTW /usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.gfortran/lib64
Warning: if you use netcdf >= 3.6.2 (which has fortran interface in libnetcdff.a) you need to modify the BLASLAPACK variable, for example:
setenv BLASLAPACK "/usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.2-1.gfortran/lib64 -lnetcdff -lnetcdf -L/opt/acml-4.0.1/gfortran64/lib -lacml -L/opt/acml-4.0.1/gfortran64/lib -lacml -lgfortran"
Select the location of the MPI library which you want to use:
setenv MPIDIR /usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.gfortran setenv MPI_LIBDIR ${MPIDIR}/lib64 setenv MPI_BINDIR ${MPIDIR}/bin setenv MPI_INCLUDEDIR ${MPIDIR}/include
Check the underscore convention:
netcdf < 3.6.2:
nm ${NETCDF}/libnetcdf.a | grep "T nf_strerror_"netcdf >= 3.6.2:
nm ${NETCDF}/libnetcdff.a | grep "T nf_strerror_"
Perform the check also on the ${FFTW}/libfftw.a file.
Now compile dacapo with correct underscoring convention (serial and parallel):
make gfortran_fnosecond_underscore make gfortran_fnosecond_underscore MP=mpi
Ignore warnings about type mismatch when compiling ms.F, this is due to MPI expecting pointers to integer arrays for all data types.
Now copy the compiled executables to somewhere on your path, e.g.:
cp gfortran_fnosecond_underscore_serial/dacapo.run /usr/local/bin/dacapo_<version>.run cp gfortran_fnosecond_underscore_mpi/dacapo.run /usr/local/bin/dacapo_<version>_mpi.run
3.2 Opteron (Pathscale EKOpath compiler)
This build assumes you have the Pathscale EKOpath Fortran compiler and the ACML Math library installed. Below follows details on how to build the NetCDF and FFTW libraries needed by dacapo.
3.2.1 NetCDF (Network common Data Format)
Download the NetCDF software and read the NetCDF installation instructions. NetCDF version 3.6.1 or later is supported.
Build netcdf like this:
tar -zxf netcdf-3.6.1.tar.gz cd netcdf-3.6.1/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.pathscale \ FC=pathf90 FCFLAGS=-byteswapio CC=pathcc CXX=pathCC CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran -fpic' make
and then install in /usr running as root:
make install
See also niflheim note on building a netcdf RPM.
3.2.2 FFTW (Fast Fourier Transform library)
Download version 2.1.5 here Build FFTW like this:
tar -zxf fftw-2.1.5.tar.gz cd fftw-2.1.5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.pathscale \ F77=pathf90 CC=pathcc CFLAGS=-O3 FFLAGS="-O3 --enable-shared --enable-threads" make
and then as root:
make install
3.2.3 OpenMPI
OpenMPI is an open source implementation of the MPI message passing standard. Configure OpenMPI with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.pathscale --with-tm=/usr/local \ FC=pathf90 F77=pathf90 CC=pathcc CXX=pathCC \ FFLAGS=-O2 FCFLAGS=-O2 CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2
The flag --with-tm=/usr/local is used only with the Torque/PBS batch system (version 2.1 or later) and enables Torque's very fast Task Manager startup of MPI processes.
3.2.4 Dacapo
Get dacapo From svn, and go to src directory:
cd dacapo/src
Set the environment variables for blas/lapack, NETCDF, and FFTW, for example:
setenv BLASLAPACK "-L/opt/acml-4.0.1/pathscale64/lib -lacml -L/opt/acml-4.0.1/pathscale64/lib -lacml -lgfortran" setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.pathscale/lib64 setenv FFTW /usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.pathscale/lib64
Select the location of the MPI library which you want to use:
setenv MPIDIR /usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.pathscale setenv MPI_LIBDIR ${MPIDIR}/lib64 setenv MPI_BINDIR ${MPIDIR}/bin setenv MPI_INCLUDEDIR ${MPIDIR}/include
Alternative locations may be specified, for example:
setenv MPIDIR /usr/local/infinipath-2.0
Now compile dacapo (serial and parallel):
make pathscale make pathscale MP=mpi
Ignore warnings about type mismatch when compiling ms.F, this is due to MPI expecting pointers to integer arrays for all data types.
Now copy the compiled executables to somewhere on your path, e.g.:
cp pathscale_serial/dacapo.run /usr/local/bin/dacapo_<version>.run cp pathscale_mpi/dacapo.run /usr/local/bin/dacapo_<version>_mpi.run
3.3 Portland Group (PGI) compiler
Here we will build using the Portland Group's PGI Workstation version 6.2-4 Fortran compiler, and the MKL library.
3.3.1 NetCDF (Network common Data Format)
Download the NetCDF software and read the NetCDF installation instructions. NetCDF version 3.6.1 or later is supported.
Build netcdf like this:
tar -zxf netcdf-3.6.1.tar.gz cd netcdf-3.6.1/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.pgi \ FC=pgf90 FCFLAGS='-byteswapio -Msecond_underscore' CC=pgcc CXX=pgCC CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran' make
and then install as the root superuser:
make install
3.3.2 FFTW (Fast Fourier Transform library)
Download FFTW version 2.1.5 and build FFTW like this:
tar -zxf fftw-2.1.5.tar.gz cd fftw-2.1.5 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.pgi \ F77=pgf90 CC=pgcc CFLAGS=-O3 FFLAGS="-O3 --enable-shared --enable-threads -Msecond_underscore" make
and then install as the root superuser:
make install
3.3.3 LAM-MPI
Warning: These instructions are outdated.
We will here use the MPI library LAM-MPI
Download the tarfile and build LAM-MPI for installation in /usr/local/lam-7.1.2-pgi and with the ssh remote-shell command, using:
tar xzvf lam-7.1.2.tar.gz cd lam-7.1.2 setenv CPPFLAGS '-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran' setenv F77 pgf90 setenv FC pgf90 setenv FFLAGS '-byteswapio -Msecond_underscore' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lam-7.1.2-pgi/ --with-rsh="/usr/bin/ssh -a -x" CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran' F77=pgf90 FC=pgf90 FFLAGS='-byteswapio -Msecond_underscore' make
and then install as the root superuser:
make install
3.3.4 OpenMPI
Alternatively to LAM-MPI, you may want to use OpenMPI.
OpenMPI is an open source implementation of the MPI message passing standard. Configure OpenMPI with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.pgi --with-tm=/usr/local FC=pgf90 F77=pgf90 CC=pgcc CXX=pgCC \ FFLAGS=-Msignextend FCFLAGS=-Msignextend \ --with-wrapper-fflags=-Msignextend --with-wrapper-fcflags=-Msignextend"
The flag --with-tm=/usr/local is used only with the Torque/PBS batch system (version 2.1 or later) and enables Torque's very fast Task Manager startup of MPI processes.
3.3.5 Dacapo
Get dacapo From svn, and go to src directory:
cd dacapo/src
Set the environment variables to use specific versions of LAPACK and BLAS:
setenv BLASLAPACK '-L/opt/intel/mkl/9.0/lib/64 -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_ia64 -lguide -lpthread -lmkl'
and for 32 bit machines:
setenv BLASLAPACK '-L/opt/intel/mkl/9.0/lib/32 -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_ia32 -lguide -lpthread -lmkl'
Also remember to set variables for where to find netCDF, FFTW:
setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.pgi/lib64 setenv FFTW /usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.pgi/lib64
Select the location of the MPI library which you want to use:
setenv MPIDIR /usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.pgi setenv MPI_LIBDIR ${MPIDIR}/lib64 setenv MPI_BINDIR ${MPIDIR}/bin setenv MPI_INCLUDEDIR ${MPIDIR}/include
and compile like:
make pglinux make pglinux MP=mpi
3.3.6 Running Dacapo
If you get a runtime error from Dacapo similar to this one:
relocation error: /usr/pgi/linux86/6.2/lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol _h_errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
then this may possibly be a problem with the PGI compiler installation. You can use ldd dacapo.run to examine which shared libraries are needed, and if libpthread.so.0 in the /usr/pgi tree is referenced, the recommended solution is to remove the soft-link /usr/pgi/linux86/6.2/lib/libpthread.so.0 (or whatever version you have).
3.4 Intel compiler
The Intel Fortran and C/C++ compilers are installed on Intel CPUs such as Pentium-4, Xeon, Itanium etc. The Intel MKL library contains highly optimized BLAS subroutines, among many other things. It is strongly recommended that you use the latest version of the Intel compilers, since many bugs in the past have caused a number of problems for Dacapo and other software packages.
Homepages: Intel Fortran and Intel C++ Compiler version 9.1.
Manuals in PDF format are in the Intel Fortran guide and the Intel C++ guide.
3.4.1 Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL)
The Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) Version 9.0 with MKL Manuals. A MKL User Forum for the Intel Math Kernel Library is available.
MKL 9.0 contains may of the libraries required by Dacapo: BLAS, LAPACK and FFTW (see these notes).
The FFTW library must be manually built (by the root superuser) according to the notes FFTW2.x to Intel(R) Math Kernel Library Wrappers. For example, if MKL is installed in /opt/intel/mkl/9.0, the 32-bit FFTW library is built like this:
cd /opt/intel/mkl/9.0/interfaces/fftw2xf make lib32
Now FFTW can be linked in using these loader flags:
-L/opt/intel/mkl/9.0/lib/32 -lfftw2xf_intel
3.4.2 NetCDF (Network common Data Format)
Download the NetCDF software and read the NetCDF installation instructions. NetCDF version 3.6.1 or later is supported.
Build netcdf like for the Intel compiler with:
tar -zxf netcdf-3.6.1.tar.gz cd netcdf-3.6.1/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.intel \ FC=ifort CC=icc CXX=icpc CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran' make check
If make check fails with errors "Numeric conversion not representable" add the following flags (see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/netcdf/msg02387.html):
CFLAGS='-mp' FFLAGS='-mp'
3.4.3 FFTW (Fast Fourier Transform library)
The Intel MKL version of FFTW should be used as discussed above.
However, if for some reason you're unable to use MKL's FFTW, you should configure the FFTW library build with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.intel \ F77=ifort CC=icc CFLAGS=-O3 FFLAGS="-O3 --enable-shared --enable-threads"
3.4.4 OpenMPI
Get the latest version source tar file from OpenMPI. You must use the Intel C++ compiler version October 5, 2006 (build 44) or later, see an OpenMPI FAQ. (Note added: OpenMPI version 1.1.4 has a workaround for this bug, see the Release Notes).
Configure OpenMPI with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.intel --with-tm=/usr/local FC=ifort F77=ifort CC=icc CXX=icpc \ FFLAGS=-O2 FCFLAGS=-O2 CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2
The flag --with-tm=/usr/local is used only with the Torque/PBS batch system (version 2.1 or later) and enables Torque's very fast Task Manager startup of MPI processes.
3.4.5 Dacapo
You must use the Intel compiler version 9.1 (or later). If you use older versions of the compiler, bugs will give you a lot of troubles.
Get dacapo From svn, and go to src directory:
cd dacapo/src
Edit the Makefile section named intellinux if you want to modify the compiler flags to generate optimal code for your particular Intel CPU, where the -x flag controls the code generation (see man ifort):
INTELLINUX_OPT = -O3 -xN
You should also select the Intel MKL library for your specific Intel CPU architecture:
setenv BLASLAPACK '-L/opt/intel/mkl/9.0/lib/64 -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_ia64 -lguide -lpthread -lmkl'
and for 32 bit machines:
setenv BLASLAPACK '-L/opt/intel/mkl/9.0/lib/32 -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_ia32 -lguide -lpthread -lmkl'
Set the environment variables to use specific versions Netcdf, FFTW and MPI:
setenv NETCDF /usr/local/netcdf3-3.6.1-1.intel/lib64 setenv FFTW /usr/local/fftw2-2.1.5-1.intel/lib64
Select the location of the MPI library which you want to use:
setenv MPIDIR /usr/local/openmpi-1.2.7.intel setenv MPI_LIBDIR ${MPIDIR}/lib64 setenv MPI_BINDIR ${MPIDIR}/bin setenv MPI_INCLUDEDIR ${MPIDIR}/include
Now build Dacapo:
make intellinux make intellinux MP=mpi # Parallel version
3.4.6 Running Dacapo
The default process stacksize limit may cause unexpected crashes of Dacapo at the point when all available stack space has been exhausted. Often this can be seen as the txt output freezes around the line:
WFG: Setup initial potential
Therefore you must increase the resource limits before running Dacapo:
ulimit -s unlimited # bash shell limit stacksize unlimited # tcsh shell
Preferably instead of unlimited you could enter a number such as 500000 (500 MB, the largest required value required so far) so that you do not exhaust your system resources, or in case your system prohibits unlimited stack size.
You can set such commands in your personal login scripts (.bashrc or .tcshrc) or in any scripts used to run the Dacapo executable.
3.5 Performance
Below the average runtime in seconds of the memory benchmark obtained with different compilers/libraries is given.
Benchmark is performed on a reserved node by running the following command:
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 ulimit -s 500000 time numactl --membind=0 --physcpubind=1 python H2Al110.py --code=dacapo --runs=3 2>&1 | tee run.log
Using physical CPU number 1 with the memory node number 0 turned out to be the the fastest combination. For description of numa see NUMACTL and libnuma.
