Hi Holger
Hi Joachim and Kenneth.
Thanks for this.
Kenneth, what are chances to get an emergency EB 3.4.1b or EB 3.4.2
that contains perhaps intel 2018 only. We are running slurm and
currently rebuilding the software with intel 2018 or moving to a
newer libc as suggested by Alexandre from FZJ seem our best bets to
get out of the issues.
If we go for a rebuilding marathon, it would be a lot easier, if
intel 2018 would sit in EB and not in a development branch or PR.
By the way, we are speaking about this PR:
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/5129
I opened a PR for the 2018 update 1 versions of Intel compilers, Intel
MPI & Intel MKL a couple of days ago, see
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/5345; it's
currently awaiting review/merging.
I'm up for doing a new EasyBuild release in the coming days, if I can
find the time for it that is, things are quite crazy the last couple of
weeks...
From the Intel article [1], there is a workaround that already works
with intel/2017b (which includes the 2017 update 4 compilers), i.e. to
build with -fPIC, or in EasyBuild terms, enable the 'pic' toolchain
option in the easyconfig file.
This workaround is also required with the initial 2018 release
(intel/2018.00), but no longer necessary with 2018 update 1
(intel/2018.01, see PR #5129).
The -fPIC workaround has proven to circumvent this issue in a recent
pull request for ABINIT, see
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/5251.
regards,
Kenneth
Best wishes

We are running CentOS 7.4. Many of our intel build apps are not
working any longer.

We are also aware of this issue. Since Intel 2018 should solve this
bug, we are building as many modules as we can for the intel-2018
toolchain. (see for example
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/5291) As
far as I know, they will be part of the 3.5.0 EasyBuild Release.
The Travis builds are failing at the moment, but this should only be
the case because intel-2018 is not in the official repo, yet. We are
already using those modules in production.
Best regards,
Holger
