Charm++ parallel programming system

[Jingjie Yeo <yeojj AT mit.edu>]

Hi Nikhil,

Thank you so much for your help, so far I have been able to compile NAMD 2.11 perfectly and I will proceed to test it on the system. Your help has been invaluable and I really appreciate it very much.

Best Regards,

Jingjie

Hi Jingjie,

Thats right. This system seems to be running old software.

Assuming you are running NAMD 2.11 which ships with Charm 6.7.0, following steps should get you a Charm with that commit reverted:

git clone https://charm.cs.illinois.edu/gerrit/charm
cd charm
git checkout charm-6.7.0
git revert e223cf64a5f1c08b00e17d3b8dfd938062fbbbba

Hope this works.

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
