Hi

Can I still use HOSTTYPE wintel32s on a 64 bit machine? If not does anyone have an example HOSTTYPE I can use please?

Thanks

Fay

Hi Fay

Yes it's possible, you just have to take care about your compiler (active the 32 bits mode) and the parallel library.
Note that wintel32s is a scalar compilation!

The only difference between 64 and 32 bits for intel fortran is in the option /machine:X86 (32 bits) which become /machine:X64 (64 bits) in the link step.

Did you use python or perl?

Thanks, I'm trying to use perl.

If you start from scratch, I'll advise you to switch to python

Hello Fay,

Additionnal informations :

Using Python script, the specification of HOSTYPE defines both 32/64 bits and scalar/parallel (wintel32s means 32 bits scalar only). In addition, you have probably avoiding using release 3.0 of python (compatibility problem).
Using Perl script, the specification of HOSTYPE switches only between 32 and 64 bits. The first step of compilation generates the scalar version of TELEMAC (makeall90 command). The second step of complation "add" the parallel version (makepar90 command).
It is generaly possible generating and running 32 bits version on a 64 bits machine. Not the reverse.

Depending on your configuration you have to check :
- the version of the Metis libraty your are using for the parallel mode (32 or 64 bits)
- if you use certain versions of Intel Visual Fortran (release 11 for example, the one I am using on my machine), the SDK version linked to your compiler (32 bits or 64 bits)

Hello Fay,

I would recommend you use the latest version (coming v6p3) as you do have access. It comes with improved Python scripts that work with Python 2.7.5 (you had a problem with that earlier).

Good luck.
Sébastien.

Hi again,

I'm now trying to install TELEMAC v6p3 using python (2.7), still on windows 7, 64 bit with intel fortran. It does a partial compilation, but then it hangs during the compilation of HOMERE_TELEMAC3D, specifically it is the file p_dictionary_ui, it creates an object file for it but the file is empty. I encountered the same problem with this file when I tried to compile only the telemac2d module. Does anyone know how I can fix this please?

Thanks

Fay

Hello Fay,

The inclusion of dredgesim (and its massive Fortran modules) has dramatically slowed down the compilation time and increased the hardware requirements. We are looking at breaking down that modules in multiple blocks to make it easier.

How much RAM do have? I personnaly have 8Gb and, although it takes a lot of time (up to 5 minutes) it should work eventually ...
Can you try to let it compile for a while ?

Your experience with that is important to us to improve the system.

Hope this helps,

Sebastien.

Hi Sebastien

I have 16 GB of RAM. I have left it for about 15 minutes now and it is still at 0%. Is it possible to compile without dredgesim? I assume this module is for simulating dredging?

Thanks

Fay

Sorry, you were correct Sebastien I just needed to be more patient; it has now compiled.
