Dear all,
My name is Cristian Di Pietrantonio and I work for the Pawsey
Supercomputing Research Centre located in Perth, Western Australia.
I spent a couple of days trying to build Amber with AMD GPU support for
our Cray supercomputer. I have followed the instructions present on the
page
https://ambermd.org/GPUSupport.php , but those were not enough. I
encountered several issues. Some of them are Cray specific, others are
more general. In particular, I have found that the HIP patch corrupts
some parts of the source code or the CMakeLists.txt files. I tried
reversed these changes by restoring the original files (the version
previous to applying the patch) and seems to work (in that the code
compiles). I noticed these issues because of compilation errors, but
there might be changes that went unnoticed. For this reason I ask you to
double check the HIP patch, or please to point out if I am doing
anything wrong.
I put together a BASH script that implements the process I followed to
compile Amber with HIP support. Here is the link to a GitHub Gist:
https://gist.github.com/dipietrantonio/1f2755ae46c4b6119d2b1c540843c159
Near the top there are a few comments describing the issues in more detail.
Best Regards,
