mpi build failure versuion 17.3.21

vishwas

Hrllo,
I am trying to compile v 17.3.21 in singularity container. following here https: //github.com/bursica/Code_Aster-MPI-in-Singularity-of-SM2022
First of all I get the error:
unsupported petsc version: 3.20.5p0 (expected >=3.24)

Then I used --disable-petsc in ./wafconfigure, but now the following error:

Please include the complete backtrace with any bug report.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-10/README.Bugs> for instructions.

Even If I use some other tags such as 17.3.10 , there are errors during compilation which did not come up before.
They used to compile ok.
What to do in this case?

Regards and thanks

You have to use a more recent compiler. Version 12.4 is used for the moment.

New version of petsc will be in smeca2025

vishwas

Hi,
Thank you for response.
you mean GCC version?

Regards

nicolas_p

yes gcc 12.4 or recent intel compiler should works

vishwas

Hello,
I'm already using gcc 13.3.0

Regards
Anirudh

nicolas_p

ok. You are using gcc10 from your previous message

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

I meet the error "unsupported petsc version: 3.20.5p0 (expected >=3.24)", too.
is any more new version than (codeaster-prerequisites-20240327-oss.tar.gz)?
in codeaster-prerequisites-20240327-oss, it use petsc version: 3.20.5p0.

[#34454] petsc: upgrade to 3.24.0
by Mathieu Courtois, at 2025-11-14 23:00

but, where is the petsc 3.24.0? how can I get it?

Here is the last codeaster-prerequisites-20251026-oss.tar.gz :
https://gitlab.com/codeaster-opensource-documentation/opensource-installation-development/-/packages/51768681
it contains petsc 3.24.0

Hi,
Thanks for responding.
But how do b I install petsc in salome_meca distribution? What are the paths? Where it should be put? Too much work.
It's difficult to even install a text editor in salome_meca distribution as was pointed out in feedback.

vishwas just for your information, I will push by the end of the week a code_aster 17.4.0 standalone image (without Salomé), with MPI and PETSc support, to the Docker Hub repository simvia/code_aster.
This will allow you to test this version if needed.

meysam

basile-simvia Thanks for providing the docker file. Very much appreciated.

I was trying to compile code_aster from source with MPI support. Looking at the provided docker images It seems that couple of new packages are needed

GCC 12.2
OPENMPI 5.0.8
PETSc : 3.24.0
SCOTCH 7.0.10
HDF5 1.10.7
MED 4.2.0
MEDCOUPLING 9.15.0

The PETSC can be downloaded from their homepage. Yet the dependencies of PETSC (hpddm, slepc, etc) and other dependencies listed above, which are usually provided in code-aster-prerequisites, are difficult to collect. Is there any near plan to release the tar file that includes all the prerequisites, as before?

Thanks,
Meysam

Hi,
I instlled docker and got this result in terminal:
docker --version Docker version 29.1.5, build 0e6fee6
How to use this image? After pulling docker image I tried following:

sudo docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/home/user/data simvia/code_aster:17.4.0

I tried command as shown on simvia/docker but nothing happens.

basile-simvia

Hello,

You need to add the -it option (for interactive) to docker

docker run --rm -it --v $(pwd):/home/user/data simvia/code_aster:17.4.0

vishwas

Hello,
Thanks for reply. However, run_aster throws file not found error. I ran from a folder which has command file but got this error. I even removed MPI from export file. I think 17.4.0 does not have MPI support.

In the export file, the path to the .comm file seems to be absolute rather than relative.
If the .comm is in the same folder as the .export just write

F comm crimp_main.comm D 1

Hello,

regarding the MPI question, is it compiled with MPI or not? In the repo it says

The provided code_aster is build without distributed parallel features,.....

Thanks,

Mario.

basile-simvia

mf yes we change for the last stable version and now (from 17.4.0) all the code_aster docker image we publish in the future will be built with the MPI support.

vishwas

Yes it works with MPI
