VASP BENCHMARKING

Intel Machine ( E5-2643 @ 3.30GHz)

VASP Native FFT Library

Following library and flags were used:

MKLDIR    = $(HPC_MKL_DIR)
MKLLIBS   = -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core
FFTLIB = -lfftw3xf
INCS = -I$(MKLDIR)/include/fftw
FFT_OBJS = fftmpi.o fftmpi_map.o fftw3d.o fft3dlib.o
FFLAGS =  -free -names lowercase -assume byterecl
OFLAG  = -O2 -xsse2 -unroll-aggressive -warn general

As a first check, SIMD were changed and following is the result for MgMOS (For input file, please ask Charlie Taylor or Manoj Srivastava):

SIMD Instruction Time(s)
sse2 158
sse4.1 156
sse4.2 155
avx 155
ssse3 156

MKL FFTs (via FFTW wrappers)

Upon profiling the code, we found that the code spends most of its time in the FFT libraries, so the next step is to change FFTW libraries. Following changes were made:

FFT_OBJS = fftmpi_map.o fftmpiw.o fftw3d.o fft3dlib.o

(The change here from original VASP makefile is inclusion of fftmpiw.o, which was not included before. It was fftmpi.o that was in the VASP FFT and was being called and we changed that)

MKLDIR    = $(HPC_MKL_DIR)
MKLLIBS   = -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core
INCS = -I$(MKLDIR)/include/fftw
