Charm++ parallel programming system

["Galvez Garcia, Juan Jose" <jjgalvez AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Ed,

 

For completeness, since you have to build charm++ from source, these are the full instructions to build Charm4py + Charm++ from source and install:

 

git clone https://github.com/UIUC-PPL/charm4py

cd charm4py

git clone https://github.com/UIUC-PPL/charm charm_src/charm

cd charm_src/charm

./build charm4py netlrts-linux-arm7 -j2

cd ../..

python3 setup.py install

 

 

Let us know if this works or not.

 

-Juan

Hi Ed,

It looks like pip is trying to build Charm++ in the netlrts-linux-x86_64-tcp configuration, which won't work on an ARM device like the Raspberry Pi.

Try cloning Charm from our Git repository and building it with one of the following commands.

If your OS is built in 32-bit mode, which is likely to be the case unless you went out of your way to use an AArch64 distribution, try this command:

./build charm4py netlrts-linux-arm7 -j2

For completeness, the 64-bit build command would be:

./build charm4py netlrts-linux-arm8 -j2

Hello,

I am wondering if charm4py is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+ which has an ARM cortex A53 (quad core) processor ?

I've tried to install it using both raspbian and ubuntu mate OS but neither work. Everytime I try it exits after ~1.5 hours blaming on internal compiler error. After that I tried installing the charm++ manually first and there the (same) error appears in a slightly different form. If you are curious on the different errors I got, I made a post (see link below) on superuser at stackoverflow about the error.
