Re: [Condor-users] condor_compile and ifort

[De-Wei Yin <dyin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Condor does not support linking of the standard universe library using
the Intel compilers, that is, you cannot invoke ifort or icc using the
condor_compile script.  So use ifort to compile a statically linked
executable binary as you normally would, and submit the job as a
vanilla universe job.  If you need checkpoint capabilities, you will
have to write your own code and add it to your program, e.g., have the
program regularly dump a data file that can be used to restart the job,
and at the beginning of the program use the inquire() Fortran statement
to test the existence of the restart data file to decide whether to read
the restart file or to read/use the initial data set.

I recall that the Condor standard universe is not compatible with the
threaded libraries that icc/ifort automatically include upon linking,
namely libpthread.a from glibc and libguide.a from Intel, and probably
the Intel standard math library and math kernel library as well.  The
checkpointing facility provided by Condor cannot checkpoint threaded
code.
