How to install ELPA:
----------------------
ELPA is shipped with a typical "configure" and "make" procedure. It is
recommended to use this way to install ELPA, see (A). If you do not want to
install ELPA as library, but to include it in your source code, please refer
to point (B). An example makefile "Makefile.example" can be found in ./test,
First of all, if you do not want to build ELPA yourself, and you run Linux,
it is worth haveing a look at the ELPA webpage and/or the repositories of
your Linux distibution: there exist pre-build packages for a few
distributions like Fedora, Debian, and Opensuse. More, will hopefully follow
in the future.
If you want to build (or have to since no packages are available) ELPA yourself,
please note that ELPA is shipped with a typical "configure" and "make"
procedure. It is recommended to use this way to install ELPA, see (A).
If you do not want to install ELPA as library, but to include it in your
source code, please refer to point (B).
An example makefile "Makefile.example" can be found in ./test,
to give some hints how this is done. Please distibute then all files of ELPA
with your code. Please note, that usage of ELPA as described in Section (B)
requires advanced knowledge about compilers, preprocessor flags, and

1.2 Setting up Blacs/Scalapack
Please point to your blacs/scalapack installation and the
linkline with the variables "BLACS_LDFLAGS" and "BLACS_FCFLAGS".
"BLACS_LDFLAGS" should contain the correct linkline for your
blacs/scalapack installation and "BLACS_FCFLAGS" the include path
The configure script tries to auto-detect an installed Blacs/Scalapack
library. If this is successfull, you do not have to specify anything
in this regard. However, this will fail, if you do not use Netlib
Blacs/Scalapack but vendor specific implementations (e.g. Intel's MKL
library or the implementation of Cray).
Please then point to your Blacs/Scalapack installation and the
linkline with the variables "SCALAPACK_LDFLAGS" and "SCALAPACK_FCFLAGS".
"SCALAPACK_LDFLAGS" should contain the correct linkline for your
Blacs/Scalapack installation and "SCALAPACK_FCFLAGS" the include path
and any other flags you need at compile time.
It is recommended that you use the "rpath functionality" in the linkline,
otherwise it will be necessary to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable.
You can either specify your own builds of lapack/blacs/scalapack
or use specialized Vendor packages, e.g. if available you can use
Intel's MKL.
The configure procedure will check whether blacs/scalapack is available
at build-time. If you do not set the variables "BLACS_LDFLAGS" and
"BLACS_FCFLAGS" the chances are high that ELPA will not build.
In any case, auto-detection of manual specifing of Blacs/Scalapack,
the configure procedure will check whether Blacs/Scalapack is available
at build-time and try to link with it.

orthogonality of the found eigenvectors are lower than a threshold of
5e-12. If this test fails, or if you believe the threshold should be
even lower, please talk to us. Furthermore, your run-time choice of
ELPA kernels is tested. This is intended as a help to get used to this
new feature. With the same thought in mind a binary "print_available_elpa2_kernels"

is provided, which is rather self-explanatory.

- elpa1.f90 contains routines for the one-stage solver,
The 1 stage solver (elpa1.f90) can be used standalone without elpa2.
- elpa2.f90 - ADDITIONAL routines needed for the two-stage solver
elpa2.f90 requires elpa1.f90 and a version of elpa2_kernels.f90, so
always compile them together.
- elpa2_kernels.f90 - optimized linear algebra kernels for ELPA.
This file is a generic version of optimized linear algebra kernels
for use with the ELPA library. The standard elpa2_kernels.f90 runs
on every platform but it is optimized for the Intel SSE instruction
set. Best perfomance is achieved with the Intel ifort compiler and
compile flags -O3 -xSSE4.2
For optimum performance on special architectures, you may wish to
investigate whether hand-tuned versions of this file give additional
gains. If so, simply remove elpa2_kernels.f90 from your compilation
and replace with the version of your choice. It would be great if
you could contribute such hand-tuned versions back to the
repository. (LGPL requirement for redistribution holds in any case)

Example of optimized ELPA kernels for the BlueGene/P

file. elpa2_kernels_bg.f90 contains assembler instructions for the
BlueGene/P processor which IBM's xlf Fortran compiler can handle.

a)
With this release (and newer) it is not mandatory anymore to specify the real
and complex kernels at build-time! Instead the choice of kernel is now a
run-time option
......@@ -17,6 +19,24 @@ It is still possible to build ELPA with a specific real and complex kernel, if
one wants to obtain the old behaviour (see configure --help for the exact
options)
b)
At build time, configure now expects variables "SCALAPACK_FCFLAGS" and
"SCLAPACK_LDFLAGS" to be set, which replace the previous "BLACS_FCFLAGS" and
"BLACS_LDFLAGS".
c)
Binaries names for the test programs have been renamed: instead of
"test_real1" (for ELPA 1) and "test_real2" (for ELPA 2) and so forth, now
the binary names are "elpa1_test_real" and "elpa2_test_real" ...
d)
The name of the installed library has changed: since this release changes the
ABI of ELPA, it is possible to have several versions of ELPA installed with
different ABIs. In order to have an unique identifier, the library will from
now on be called "libelpa_[package_version].so" (for single threaded version)
and "libelpa_[package_version]_mt.so" (for the multi threaded version). In
this release this is "elpa_2014.06{_mt}.so"

The ABI of ELPA has changed! It will be necessary to rebuild the programs using
ELPA if this new version should be used. Beware, that not rebuilding the user
programs most likely leads to undefined behaviour!
Note also, that the library names have changed, in order to reflect the new ABI
(see point d above).
