Re: [ESPResSo-users] Configuration file for building Espresso with LB

[Florian Weik]

Hi,

all that text is because you have activated all debug options in you myconfig.hpp. This is typically not useful. Neither is activating all those methods that you do not need, this will slow down the code. The error you stated in the body of your email suggests that CUDA libraries were present on the machine you configured and build (otherwise the build would have failed), but you could not run GPU code (which you need if GPU methods are enabled as in your config file, no matter if you actually use them). In principle if you activate a feature it is assumed that you actually use it.

Cheers,

Florian Weik

Dear Axel,

Thanks for your answer, a this is the output for the sample "espresso_logo.tcl"

Plus, we have a lot text printed on the screen that, indeed, we are not able to understand. Please, find attached the file that contains part of the text. 

Would you be so kind and give us some suggestions to improve our configuration file for a better installation?

Thank you so much in advance.

Best,

Edith

Unfortunately, with this configuration file, we are able to compile Espresso without problem, but it doesn't run correctly any test code.

Could you be a bit more specific? What means “doesn’t run correctly”? Which "test code”? The problem is unlikely with the myconfig, since our CI also uses such a maximal set, and it works.

Note that you also enabled all debug output and expensive debug  checks, so you will be flooded with debug output that you will not be able to interpret, but makes your simulation terribly slow.
