Compile error with Open MPI 4.1.1 and nvhpc 21.9

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers nvc, nvc++ and nvfortran

Trying to build Open MPI 4.1.1 with the latest 21.9 compilers on x86_64, I am receiving the following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory ‘/p/scratch1/root/openmpi/openmpi-4.1.1/ompi’

4.1.1 has built fine with 21.3, 21.5 and 21.7. Was there a change in 21.9 that would cause this?

Thanks slaughterc.

This is a known issue that an internal user alerted us to last week. Basically the OpenMPI build is partially picking up our expanded support for AVX512 but since were missing a define, AVX512BW, the pre-processor instead adds the “_avx” extension.

We’ll need to work with the OpenMPI on fixing some of their logic but also add the define flag when appropriate.

As a work around, our team was able to add “-enable-mca-no-build=op-avx” to the OpenMPI configuration to get a successful build.

Thank you for the update Mat. I was able to get it built successfully.

This has been addressed in our 21.11 release.
