# QMCkl: Quantum Monte Carlo Kernel Library
|
||
|
||
![Build Status](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/qmckl/workflows/test-build/badge.svg?branch=master)
|
||
|
||
The domain of quantum chemistry needs a library in which the main
|
||
kernels of Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are implemented. In the
|
||
library proposed in this project, we expose the main algorithms in a
|
||
simple language and provide a standard API and tests to enable the
|
||
development of high-performance QMCkl implementations taking
|
||
advantage of modern hardware.
|
||
|
||
See the [source code](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/qmckl/blob/master/org/qmckl.org)
|
||
to read the documentation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To clone the repository, use:
|
||
```
|
||
git clone https://github.com/TREX-CoE/qmckl.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
# Installation
|
||
|
||
The simplest way to obtain the source files of QMCkl is to download a source
|
||
distribution. This particular repository is for maintainers, who write the kernels
|
||
in org-mode files and produce the source code and the documentation from these files.
|
||
|
||
## For maintainers
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
./autogen.sh
|
||
./configure --prefix=$PWD/_install
|
||
|
||
make
|
||
make check
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## For users
|
||
|
||
Obtain a source distribution.
|
||
|
||
To build the documentation version:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
./configure
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To build an optimized version with Intel compilers:
|
||
```
|
||
./configure \
|
||
--with-icc \
|
||
--with-ifort \
|
||
--enable-hpc \
|
||
--with-openmp
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To build an optimized version with GCC:
|
||
```
|
||
./configure \
|
||
CC=gcc \
|
||
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=native -flto -fno-trapping-math -fno-math-errno -ftree-vectorize" \
|
||
FC=gfortran \
|
||
FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=native -flto -ftree-vectorize" \
|
||
--enable-hpc \
|
||
--with-openmp
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
Then, compile with:
|
||
```
|
||
make -j
|
||
make -j check
|
||
sudo make install
|
||
sudo make installcheck
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Linking to your program
|
||
|
||
The `make install` command takes care of installing the QMCkl shared library on the user machine.
|
||
Once installed, add `-lqmckl` to the list of compiler options.
|
||
|
||
In some cases (e.g. when using custom `prefix` during configuration), the QMCkl library might end up installed in a directory, which is absent in the default `$LIBRARY_PATH`.
|
||
In order to link the program against QMCkl, the search paths can be modified as follows:
|
||
|
||
`export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:<path_to_qmckl>/lib`
|
||
|
||
(same holds for `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`). The `<path_to_qmckl>` has to be replaced with the prefix used during the installation.
|
||
|
||
If your project relies on the CMake build system, feel free to use the
|
||
[FindQMCKL.cmake](https://github.com/TREX-CoE/qmckl/blob/master/cmake/FindQMCKL.cmake)
|
||
module to find and link the QMCkl library automatically.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Verificarlo CI
|
||
|
||
Since Verificarlo should not be a dependency of QMCkl, all Verificarlo
|
||
functions are called only when the support is explicitely enabled (and ignored
|
||
by the preprocessor otherwise). To enable vfc_ci support, the library should be
|
||
configured with the following command :
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
./configure \
|
||
CC="verificarlo-f" \
|
||
FC="verificarlo-f" \
|
||
--prefix=$PWD/_install \
|
||
--enable-vfc_ci \
|
||
--host=x86_64 \
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
where CC and FC are set to verificarlo-f, and support is explicitely enabled
|
||
with the --enable-vfc_ci flag. Configuring the library with the "standard"
|
||
command will cause all calls to Verificarlo related functions to be ignored,
|
||
and the library will be built as usual.
