1 month ago There is no problem compiling Open MPI with Clang and you are free to combine Clang as the C and C++ compiler with gfortran as the Fortran compiler.

1 month ago Maybe you can share the steps you take on compiling elmer then? I spent 4 hours yesterday and one solved problem led to another. First openmpi was not compatible, then openmpi was not found, then gfortran was not working, then umfpack. So I think its easier if you got it working to share how you did it?

1 month ago The MacOS build on M2 is almost trivial:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem.git
cd elmerfem
mkdir build
cd build
MPI_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/open-mpi/5.0.3_1 CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/Work/Apps/ELMER/install CFLAGS="-std=gnu89" cmake ..
cmake --build .
cmake --install .
ctestYou should not set OpenMP options on MacOS if you use Apple Clang. Apple Clang does not support OpenMP. Both Clang and GCC from Homebrew do, on the other hand.

1 month ago Hi, I'm also hoping to run Elmer on apple silicon with the GUI enabled.
My system is an M1 running macOS 12.6.3, using:
I got a much simpler config to work than @ghostforest 's above:
$ export SDKROOT=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX13.1.sdk
$ MPI_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/open-mpi/5.0.3_1/ CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ELMER_ENV_ROOT/install CFLAGS="-std=gnu89" CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/qt@5//5.15.13_1/lib/cmake cmake -DWITH_QT5:BOOL=ON -DWITH_QWT:BOOL=OFF -DWITH_ELMERGUI:BOOL=ON -DWITH_PARAVIEW:BOOL=ON ../
$ make -j4 installbut am also seeing failing tests:
93% tests passed, 69 tests failed out of 922I notice that the most recent full-test Action on the primary branch had 5 failing tests, so perhaps some failing tests isn't a dealbreaker, but 10x-25x that feels suspicious.
Regardless, I got a tutorial to run all the way through, so if you (or any future travelers) need an exemplar, the above can serve.
ghostforest

1 month ago Thanks for that addition. Yes mine is quite complicated. What does -DWITH_PARAVIEW:BOOL=ON do? Is your elmer multicore capable without setting OpenMP=TRUE?
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
This will utilize the full cpu for compiling.
Same for ctest:
ctest -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
Btw your command does not work for me.
Interesting is that enabling Paraview will lead to more tests failing later. Same with MPI and OpenMP.

1 month ago Paraview is a postprocessor/visualization engine that lets you display the results of a solve; it's referenced in the GUI tutorials (http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/doc/ElmerTutorials.pdf) and has to be installed separately (https://www.paraview.org/download/) in such a way that running paraview from the command line will start the application. Elmer support for it turns out to primarily be a convenience; it adds a button to the Elmer GUI that starts up Paraview with your solve vtu file instead of you having to go open Paraview and open the vtu yourself.
As far as multicore goes, parallelization does work and does help, but I'm not super familiar with the differences between Open MPI, OpenMP, and MPI and I'm not certain it's strictly speaking using OpenMP to do it. When I do Run -> Parallel settings -> Use parallel solver, it claims to be using mpirun, and my solve times do indeed drop. Hopefully that gives you the information you need -- if not I'm happy to send output from diagnostic commands if you like.

1 month ago Afaik MPI is for clustering multiple machines whereas OpenMP is a parallelization library for a single machine. It is a million times easier to implement than pthread since the parallelization of OpenMP happens at compile time. Pthread provides more control but requires much more code
raback
commented
1 month ago MPI is historically the way to go with Elmer (and many other FEM codes). Once the problem is distributed the parallelization is trivial (meaning all the physics, assembly etc.). Only solution of linear system requires communication but this is more or less transparent from the user. There is some stuff that has not been implemented with MPI (e.g. viewfactors and general mortar methods). OpenMP is easier but should be done at every bottle-neck. If you consider that there is 500 k lines of code you can understand that it has not been implemented everywhere and lots of code is run on single thread.
ghostforest
commented
1 month ago Yes! Nobody is complaining about the state of elmer or that it should provide more parallelization. The discussion was: "how to compile elmer with parallelization capabilities on mac os", but that at least for my part was solved. Elmer compiles with mpi and openmp tho more tests fail than without the parallelizations compiled. I guess some are meant to fail and some are maybe small errors in calculation due to different libraries on os x I guess. Since apple has to do everything differently...
Thank you for the insight this was very interesting to read.

5 days ago Elmer is now being built regularly on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) in CI: https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmerfem/blob/devel/.github/workflows/build-macos-homebrew.yaml
More tests are passing when using OpenBLAS instead of Apple Accelerate.
Additionally, make sure that you don't exceed the number of physical cores when using MPI (e.g., -DMPI_TEST_MAXPROC=2 for the CI runners).
Is elmer supposed to compile natively for M1 M2 M3 macs? I did not get it working. I switched to rosetta environment for compilation.
This is what worked:
