Decide on FMS (mom5 branch) compile flags

[harshula]

The existing CMakeLists.txt contains the following compile flags:

FMS/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 40 to 64 in 38c7dbe

The upstream FMS compile flags are: 02bdd2f

The MOM5 compile flags are: https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/MOM5/blob/6d8768648ffa2326b4817c3de9ccb25e9d808585/bin/mkmf.template.nci#L39-L51

Which of them should we use?

[harshula]

Looks like src/shared/fms/fms.F90 is currently compiled with MOM5 compile flags. So, if we want to be consistent with existing MOM5 compilations, I guess we have to build FMS with MOM5 compile flags?

I guess we have to build FMS with MOM5 compile flags?

Agreed - I think we want to consistent with what was being done before

Hi @manodeep ,

What compiler flags should we use for IntelLLVM? We could start with with FMS upstream's compiler flags:

cmake/compiler_flags_IntelLLVM_C.cmake:

set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -traceback")
set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE "-qno-opt-dynamic-align -O2 -debug minimal")
set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG "-O0 -g -ftrapuv")
set( CMAKE_C_LINK_FLAGS "")

cmake/compiler_flags_IntelLLVM_Fortran.cmake:

set(r4_flags "-real-size 32") # Fortran flags for 32BIT precision
set(r8_flags "-real-size 64") # Fortran flags for 64BIT precision
set(CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS "${CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS} -fpp -fno-alias -auto -safe-cray-ptr -ftz -assume byterecl -align array64byte -nowarn -traceback")
set(CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_RELEASE "-O2 -debug minimal -nowarn -qoverride-limits -qno-opt-dynamic-align")
set(CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_DEBUG "-g -O0 -check -check noarg_temp_created -check nopointer -warn -warn noerrors -fpe0 -ftrapuv")
set(CMAKE_Fortran_LINK_FLAGS "")

@harshula Those flags look fine to me. Do you know why the oneAPI compiler returns a fatal error?

[harshula]

Hi @manodeep

Have a look at https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/FMS/blob/development/CMakeLists.txt and see what happens when CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_ID is IntelLLVM.

I should be able to get back to FMS this week and add IntelLLVM support.

Can you please help me by checking each of the compiler flags in #1 (comment) and tell me if any are incompatible with IFX? If they are, please suggest an alternative.

@harshula Uhh cmake returns a fatal error here - which is what I was sayinghere. It would have made sense to treat the oneAPI as the same as classic - do you know why the choice was made to return a "fatal error"?

I should be able to get back to FMS this week and add IntelLLVM support.

Fantastic! If it would be helpful, I am happy to jump on a zoom call and try to compile those oneAPI packages out together.

Those flags are compatible with ifx. -ip is a classic Intel flag that I know is not compatible with ifx. Another flag that I suspect is no longer supported is -mp1 - which is used in UM7; possibly elsewhere.

I would really like to add -flto to the compiler flags - the reports are that the Intel optimisations are only enabled when -flto is set; otherwise, you get the default LLVM optimiser. See this comment

[manodeep]

Confirming that -mp1 is indeed not supported by ifx - got this warning while compiling UM7 with oneAPI ifx: command line warning #10148: option '-mp1' not supported

[harshula]

Hi @manodeep , git tag dev_2025.02.1 contains CMakelists.txt with upstream compiler flags and it builds successfully. Using the MOM5 intel Fortran compiler flags for oneapi is failing to build because MPI_Fortran can not be found.

Can you please document all your findings, including what you have documented in this issue, in https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/dev-docs/wiki/ ?
