Port Sage to SUSE Linux Power 7 (ppc64).

[williamstein]

Port Sage so that it builds and passes its full test suite on the new IBM Power 7 architecture running SUSE Linux.

This is the only test failure with sage-5.12.beta1:

I am actually in the process of commissioning such hardware and suse will be on some nodes (Aix 6.1 on the other nodes).

comment:4

fbissey -- do you want an account on skynet, so you can help us with porting to SUSE on a nice new "IBM Power 750 Express server" that we have?

[williamstein]

This is the computer we have access to: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/750/index.html

comment:7

We are getting 13 power755 locally but they'll go live at the end of September - I am currently installing a power720 that is meant to be a deployment server. Got a BlueGene/L and BlueGene/P as well but that would be another exercise :)

The big pity as far as I am concerned is that there is no Gentoo-prefix for linux-ppc otherwise I could have been up and running faster.

We currently have some power5 575 some of which are running suse 9 and that's awful, the latest gcc I have been able to compile is 4.2.4.

I notice in the build logs that you have gcc-4.6.1 on that box. Is it a manual install of gcc?

Replying to @kiwifb:

Yes. Here is some info about the machine. If you want an account on it, send me an email and I can arrange it.

I have created a spkg with the latest maxima in case that would make a difference but unsurprisingly it doesn't.

come from sympow

So big trouble coming from mpfr or possibly mpir underneath. Once we isolate that most of these will disapear.

comment:15

With the new mpir spkg from #11964, Sage builds for me on silius, using gcc 4.6.2. I get a lot of test failures, though: I think that many of these are as reported before. See the log for full details.

comment:16

I was hoping the mpir upgrade would deal with some of these.
I'd like to try a vanilla compiler from SLES (gfortran is on a separate SDK DVD I discovered).

FWIW, I previously managed to reduce the doctest errors to 7 files IIRC; from sage-release (Sage 4.7.2.alpha3 thread):

P.S.: The following tests even timeout when run individually (with the
default timeout of half an hour on a quite fast box) in my current build:

sage -t  -long -force_lib sage/rings/real_mpfi.pyx # Time out
sage -t  -long -force_lib sage/rings/polynomial/polynomial_element.pyx #
Time out
sage -t  -long -force_lib
sage/rings/number_field/number_field_element.pyx # Time out
sage -t  -long -force_lib sage/sage/rings/number_field/number_field.py #
Time out

Interestingly also sandpile takes a long time, although this is SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (ppc64), Kernel version
2.6.32.43-0.4-ppc64 and not Ubuntu.

The other failing doctests are in:

  sage/misc/functional.py # 1 doctests failed
  (failing MPFR assertion)
  sage/interfaces/qepcad.py # 2 doctests failed
  (two funny errors)
  sage/plot/plot3d/list_plot3d.py # 2 doctests failed
  (two times "ValueError: negative dimensions are not allowed" in
list_plot3d())

Note that there are further doctest errors in the files which timeout,
i.e., before tests start to hang.


-leif

I unfortunately cannot tell (at least at the moment) how I exactly built that version since I had trouble with various things like GCC 4.4.6 not recognizing -mvsx (which ATLAS uses without first trying whether the command line option is supported) and the PolyBoRi spkg which didn't propagate LIBRARY_PATH etc.

I cannot really post many details right now but the errors are similar to before. Problems with mpfr and scipy are the main culprits.

I can supply gdb output for the test that got killed, "devel/sage/sage/rings/number_field/number_field.py":

Just one more detail on the crash running the test with -verbose to get the failing bit:

So we are expecting to catch some failure here in the first place and it doesn't go according to plan.

Also I forgot to mention I used the compiler fron SLES rather than compiling a newer version:

comment:23

I am doing a complete test run with the new mpfi/mpfr combo but so far the results don't look any different. I looked a little bit more into the test that timed out (devel/sage/sage/rings/real_mpfi.pyx) with verbose and it stops dead there:

Trying:
    RIF(Integer(5)).gamma()###line 4133:_sage_    >>> RIF(5).gamma()
Expecting:

ok
Trying:
    a = RIF(Integer(3),Integer(4)).gamma(); a###line 4135:_sage_    >>> a = RIF(3,4).gamma(); a
Expecting:
    1.?e1

I'll look at the other killed test (libecm.pyx) a bit later.

ecm passed its test suite so it is quite strange.

Strangely enough I now get the following backtrace for real_mpfi.pyx, I have installed texlive in the mean time which may have made a difference.

did someone try to compile MPFR 3.1.0 outside from Sage, and run its test suite (make check)?
Same for MPFI 1.5.0?

5.12.beta1 on SLES11SP1 with gcc 4.8.1 and binutils 2.22. Still problems in functions/special.py - there is one more failure there. I also got two timeout but I haven't checked yet increasing the time limit.

[jpflori]

comment:176

On gcc110, no problems at all with current git develop (6.1.beta2) :)

[jpflori]

comment:177

I spoke too fast, it seems it was with 6.0.
I have problems with the ncurses ada bindings with 6.1 betas.

[jpflori]

comment:178

I'm getting noisy, in fact it was the converse, the problem was with 6.0, not 6.1 betas.

[kiwifb]

comment:179

I still got the failures in special.py on sles11sp1. I have another amusing one that I can produce at will:

1 item had failures:
   2 of 210 in sage.tests.cmdline.test_executable
    [209 tests, 2 failures, 136.44 s]

For a little bit of background, I used a compute node to build/run the test suite. Which means that the testing was submitted as a batch job using loadleveler (a batch queue manager from IBM). loadleveler starts jobs without a tty which cause these errors. testing from the command line proper the failures just disappear.

comment:180

Did someone try to build pillow (included in latest betas)?
It seems to fail on gcc110 with ld yielding "escamotage incompatible" which is very nice french but not that easy to decipher without context.
Anyway it seems there is some 32/64 bit issue here, and the corresponding english error message would be "skipping incompatible library" which is more talkative.

[kiwifb]

comment:181

Usually because you try to link a 64 bit object with a 32bit library. Yes it probably find the wrong version of one of the libraries (ziplib, png, jpeg) the setup script is not very smart but I thought we had ourselves covered. Would you by any chance have some of the aforementioned libraries installed in 32bit but not 64?

[jpflori]

comment:182

I'll have a look.
Sorry for the rough report, I basically just wanted to know if that also happened to someone else, so I did not investigate it yet.

[kiwifb]

comment:183

I have 6.1 beta3 built here with pillow and without a hitch. I honestly don't think it is a power7 issue per see. setup.py is not very smart at detecting stuff so you have to consider all corners. I have been in the latest gentoo bug concerning building pillow as well as the pillow ticket here. This stuff is fragile.

[jpflori]

comment:184

Ok, the problem is simply with liblcms install on gcc110.
For some reason there is no liblcms.so in /usr/lib64 (although different versions of 64-bit liblcms.so.* are available there), but one in /usr/lib pointing to a 32 bit version.

[kiwifb]

comment:185

That probably mean that there is a 64bit dev rpm not installed. But that's what I suspected.

[kiwifb]

comment:187

So I finally pointed the finger to glibc/kernel headers. To build sage on SLES11SP1 and probably some other "enterprise distro" that are far behind in their toolchain stack on power7 I recommend IBM advance toolchain 7.0.3 and later.
http://ibm.co/AdvanceToolchain
It include its own glibc and that's the killer feature to get through the final issue I think. It is possible that gcc also includes a few IBM patches.

[jpflori]

comment:188

It passes all long tests on a Red Hat Power 7 (gcc110) as well.

[jpflori]

comment:191

I still have no issue at all on a RedHad POWER7.
What about Suse?
Should this be closed?
