compile abinit 6.6.2 with gpu support

Post by Magniff » Thu May 19, 2011 5:13 am

Hello, everyone.

So, as i understood abinit supports gpu calculations.According this page
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=756
it should be
./configure --enable-gpu --with-gpu-prefix=/usr/local/cuda && make and it shoud be it
so i did it, compiling completed without any errors

but logfile of my task says
=== MPI ===
Parallel build : no
Parallel I/O : no
Time tracing : no
GPU support : no ??

My system is
debian 6 64bit
gcc 4.5.2

gpu -nvidia gtx275
i got toolkit from here (CUDA Toolkit for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 bit)
http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-32-downloads
and installed it with default settings

maybe it should be something in the .in file, some keyword which turns on cuda support?

please try to help me)

ps: sorry my english)

The build system was not able to detect a working Cuda configuration.

Please have a look at ~abinit/doc/config/build-config.ac, and at the output of configure, in the "Connectors" section.
