Hi, there are a few minor FFTXlib calls somewhere in QE which are still on CPU, therefore it is better to have a CPU fft backend enabled too. Whether to use the internal one or FFTW3 should not make much difference, since all the main stuff runs on gpu (therefore calling cuFFT). In a CPU run the FFTW3 backend is faster than the internal one, but, as I said, in a GPU run it should be quite irrelevant. Cheers,

I am configuring as follows: export BLAS_LIBS='-L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/math_libs/lib64 -lcublas -lcublasLt -L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/compilers/lib -lblas -L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/cuda/lib64 -lcudart' export LAPACK_LIBS='-L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/math_libs/lib64 -lcusolver -lcurand -lcublas -lcublasLt -lcusparse -L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/compilers/lib -llapack -L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/cuda/lib64 -lcudart' export SCALAPACK_LIBS='-/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/comm_libs/12.5/openmpi4/openmpi-4.1.5/lib -lscalapack -L/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/comm_libs/12.5/openmpi4/latest/lib -lmpi -lopen-pal' ./configure --with-cuda=/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/2024/cuda/12.5 --with-cuda-cc=75 --with-cuda-runtime=12.5 --with-cuda-mpi=yes In this way, the internal FFTW library is selected. Should I use the FFTW3 library together with cufft? Can the two libraries work together? Is it normal that the internal FFTW library is used? Or should the cufft library be sufficient? Or is it better to use the cufftw library supplied by NVIDIA? Can I have some guidance on these aspects? Thanks a lot and best regards, Mauro Sgroi. _______________________ Dr. Mauro Francesco Sgroi Department of Chemistry University of Turin Via Quarello 15a I-10135 TORINO (Italy) Tel. +39 011-670-8372 +39 011-670-7364 e-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Web: www.met.unito.it<http://www.met.unito.it/> www.chimica.unito.it<http://www.chimica.unito.it> Orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0914-4217 Webex: https://unito.webex.com/webappng/sites/unito/dashboard/pmr/maurofrancesco.sgroi
