The *.org and *.md files in this directory contain notes on building and running SDPB on various HPC machines, as well as Apple MacBooks.
Most of the HPC systems use modules, so there is typically a module invocation like
module load gcc/8.3.0 openmpi/3.1.4 openblas/0.3.6
to load all necessary modules. Generally, I tried to use as many of
the builtin modules and system libraries as possible. This was not
always possible. For example, GMP might be built without C++
support. More commonly, Boost was built with the system compiler,
so it is incompatible with the C++ 17 compiler required for the rest
of the code.
Some of the systems run into problems if you try to build too much in parallel. You can reduce this parallelism by using the '-j' option. For example, 'make -j 4' or './waf -j 4' will only use 4 cores. On some systems I found it expedient to submit a compile job to the queue.
You can check SDPB installation by running
./test/run_all_tests.sh
More details about testing can be found in Install.md
(TODO: old note from Walter below, scripts can be outdated or missing:)
At the end of the file, there is an example of running TTTT_small. It should take about 510 iterations and several hours, ending with primal and dual optimal solution. The values for the primal and dual objectives should be
0.0062678518839620999534329032850645348339149554
to within 10^-30.
