Hi Chris
it might it be happening exactly the opposite.
if you don't specify anything the configure tries all the options from
the best to the worse and the usage for mkl is tested as first guess if
I am not wrong. If you pass it a specific path just tries that one and
deals with it as expecting ordinary fftw library, so it may be failing
in finding a working fft and turns on the internal one.
Could you send the make.inc files in the 2 cases or the config log ?

Dear all,
please forgive this "beginner" question but I am facing a weird
problem. When compiling qe-6.4 (intel compiler, intel MPI+OpenMP) with
or without intel's fftw libs I find that in openMP with 2 threads per
core the intel fftw version is roughly "twice as slow" as the internal one
"internal"

as a benchmark I am running a perovskite with 120 k-points on 30
processors (one node); There is no (noticeable) difference if I export
OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 (only MPI) so I guess I made some mistake during the
build with regards to the libraries.
Build process is as below
module load intel19/compiler-19
module load intel19/impi-19
export FFT_LIBS="-L$MKLROOT/intel64"
export LAPACK_LIBS="-lmkl_blacs_intelmpi_lp64"
export CC=icc FC=ifort F77=ifort MPIF90=mpiifort MPICC=mpiicc
./configure --enable-parallel --with-scalapack=intel --enable-openmp
This detects BLAS_LIBS, LAPACK_LIBS, SCALAPACK_LIBS and FFT_LIBS.
I am not experienced with benchmarking so if my benchmark is garbage
please suggest a suitable system!
Thanks in advance!
Chris
