Programming Details

C++ is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language. It is derived from the the C language and shares many constructs with it, it also expands into object orientated pragramming paradigms.

There is direct support for openMP and openMPI.

Programming example

#include <omp.h>
#include <iostream> 

int main () 
{
    int thread_number;
    #pragma omp parallel private(thread_number)
    {
        #pragma omp for schedule(static) nowait
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) 
        {
            thread_number = omp_get_thread_num();
            cout << "Thread " << thread_number << " says " << i << endl;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Compilation

The program would be compiled in the following way, optional Intel compiler available too:

[username@login01 ~]$  module add gcc/4.9.3
[username@login01 ~]$  g++ -o test2 -fopenmp test2.c (openMP support)
[username@login01 ~]$ ./test2

Thread 22 says 32
Thread 11 says 39

Modules Available

The following modules are available for C

• module add gcc/4.9.3 (GNU compiler)
• module add intel/compiler/64/2016.2.181 (Intel compiler)

Note: OpenMP is a library directive within the compiler and does not require any additional module to be loaded.

Usage Examples

Batch example

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH -J openmpi-single-node
#SBATCH -N 1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node 28
#SBATCH -o %N.%j.%a.out
#SBATCH -e %N.%j.%a.err
#SBATCH -p compute
#SBATCH --exclusive

echo $SLURM_JOB_NODELIST

module purge
module add gcc/4.9.3

export I_MPI_DEBUG=5
export I_MPI_FABRICS=shm:tmi
