5.7.3. Run-time system support

The following are command line options for various runtime systems that can be used with configure:

• --with-alps: Force the building of for the Cray Alps run-time environment. If Alps support cannot be found, configure will abort.

• --with-lsf=DIR: Specify the directory where the LSF libraries and header files are located. This option is generally only necessary if the LSF headers and libraries are not in default compiler/linker search paths.

  LSF is a resource manager system, frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems.

• --with-lsf-libdir=DIR: Look in directory for the LSF libraries. By default, Open MPI will look in DIR/lib and DIR/lib64, which covers most cases. This option is only needed for special configurations.

• --with-slurm: Force the building of Slurm scheduler support.

• --with-sge: Specify to build support for the Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) resource manager and/or the Open Grid Engine. OGE support is disabled by default; this option must be specified to build OMPI’s OGE support.

  The Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) and open Grid Engine packages are resource manager systems, frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems. It used to be called the “Sun Grid Engine”, which is why the option is still named --with-sge.

• --with-tm=DIR: Specify the directory where the TM libraries and header files are located. This option is generally only necessary if the TM headers and libraries are not in default compiler/linker search paths.

  TM is the support library for the Torque and PBS Pro resource manager systems, both of which are frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems.
