[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11141] van der Waals regtests fail on Intel KNL, and build glitches

[Ronald Cohen]

So I understand ( and have from the beginning) that the PSMP does not give correct answers with the Intel compilers for vdW.
I run Quantum Espresso and ABINIT and other codes using the same compilers and have no problems. I am not sure
I understand what is special about cp2k that makes it sensitive to the compiler.
Anyway, I am still doing the toolchain pure gnu build . It takes days and is still building. I will let you know how that goes.

BTW, the water benchmark (and many hundreds of regtests) work OK with my intel PSMP build. It seems to be mainly a problem with vdW.
But the first cycle works so I don’t understand that either.

Thanks again!

Let's see if there is something wrong for the compiler, at least on the Xeon. Sorry to repeat myself, the only strategy I see is to have a common baseline...
