XCONFIGURE

XCONFIGURE is a collection of configure wrapper scripts for various HPC applications. The purpose of the scripts is to configure the application in question to make use of Intel's software development tools (Intel Compiler, Intel MPI, Intel MKL). XCONFIGURE helps to rely on a "build recipe", which is known to expose the highest performance or to reliably complete the build process.

Contributions are very welcome!

Each application (or library) is hosted in a separate directory. To configure (and ultimately build) an application, one can rely on a single script which then downloads a specific wrapper into the current working directory (of the desired application).

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/hfp/xconfigure/raw/master/configure-get.sh
chmod +x configure-get.sh

echo "EXAMPLE: recipe for Quantum Espresso"
./configure-get.sh qe hsw

On systems without access to the Internet, one can download (or clone) the entire collection upfront. To configure an application, please open the config folder directly or use the documentation and then follow the build recipe of the desired application or library.
