Using Petsc

Configuring and Making Petsc on Various Systems

General Notes:

• Preinstalled version of Petsc available in /usr/lib/petsc which should be used for all simulations using petsc.
• Need python installed since the configure scripts are python programs.
• Need mpi installed to do any parallel processing (naturally!)
• Default implementation of libraries is to be NOT shared and NOT dynamic.
• Default debugging is set to YES

Bioeng22 Configuration:

• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi-dir=/usr/lib/mpich

Bioeng Institute's hpc Configuration:

• ????????????????

Other Possible Configurations:

• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi-dir=/usr/lib/mpich --with-debugging=no
• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi-include=/usr/lib/mpich/include --with-mpi-lib=/usr/lib/mpich/lib (Specify differernt directories for include and lib.)
• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi=/usr/lib/mpich --with-mumps=yes (Test to see if mumps is there and if so try to use it.)
• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi=/usr/lib/mpich --with-shared=yes (Use shared libraries but causes problems on bioeng22 and hpc. You might need to use different flags to get this to work.)
• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi=/usr/lib/mpich --with-cpp=/usr/bin/g++

  or

• ./config/configure.py --with-mpi=/usr/lib/mpich -CPP=/usr/bin/g++
