Charm++ parallel programming system

[Nikhil Jain <nikhil.jain AT acm.org>]

Hello Jingjie,

Kernel_GetMapping function was released as part of BG/Q system driver version V1R2M1 more than an year ago. It seems like the Blue Gene/Q system you are on was not updated for this release. Can you tell us which BG/Q system are you running on?

More history on this issue can be found here:
https://charm.cs.illinois.edu/redmine/issues/374#change-5023

The commit that enabled these changes can be viewed here:
https://charm.cs.illinois.edu/gerrit/#/c/422/

Easiest way to compile Charm++ if this is the only issue would be by reverting this commit:
git revert e223cf64a5f1c08b00e17d3b8dfd938062fbbbba

Dear Admin,

I am having some issues compiling on Bluegene/Q, I’ve tried compiling with:
./build charm++ pamilrts-bluegeneq xlc -j16 --with-production

But I ended up with the error:
"lz4.c", line 157.16: 1506-508 (W) Option push for pragma pack is not supported.
"lz4.c", line 157.1: 1506-224 (W) Incorrect pragma ignored.
