MPFUN90
Description: A Fortran-90 arbitrary precision package
SHARCNET Package information: see MPFUN90 software page in web portal
Full list of SHARCNET supported software


Introduction

MPFUN90 is a Fortran-90 arbitrary precision package (i.e. user specifies the desired precision)written by David H. Bailey et. al from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. If 64 digits of precision are sufficient for an application then users should use QD instead of MPFUN which would run much faster.

As shown in the below examples when the main program contains "use mpmodule" its necessary to include "$MPFUN90_ROOT/toolkit/mpmod90.o" ttherwise error messages such as "undefined reference to mpdefmod_mp_mpinit_" will occur when the ifort command is run and compilation will fail.

factorial_100.f90

This example shows how to compile and run the program factorial_100.f90 using the 2010 sharcnet mpfun90 module only:

      program factorial_100_pgm
      use mpmodule
      implicit none
      integer, parameter :: Nmx = 100
      integer            :: AllocateStatus
      integer            :: J
      type(mp_real) zero, one
      type(mp_real), dimension (:), allocatable        :: fac
      call mpinit(800)
      call mpsetprec(800)
      call mpsetoutputprec(700)
      zero='0.'
      one ='1.'
      allocate(fac(0:Nmx),STAT=AllocateStatus)
      IF (AllocateStatus /= 0) STOP "Not enough memory for fac "
      fac(0)=one
      do J=1,Nmx
        fac(J)=fac(J-1)*J
      end do
      J=4
      write(6,1001) J
 1001 format(/"fac(",i3.3,") =",$)
      call mpwrite(6,fac(J))
      J=100
      write(6,1001) J
      call mpwrite(6,fac(J))
      write(6,1005)
 1005 format(/"DONE"//)
      end

Compile

[roberpj@orc-login2:~/samples/mpfun90/factorial_100_pgm] ifort factorial_100.f90 \
    $MPFUN90_ROOT/toolkit/mpmod90.o $MPFUN90_ROOT/toolkit/mpfun90.o -I$MPFUN90_ROOT/toolkit

Notes

OpenMP

The Multi Precision packages MPFUN90 (and QD) use "user defined data type" for their variables. Since the OpenMP reduction clause cannot be used for "user defined data types" to run MPFUN90 or QD with OpenMP the reduction must be done manually in a PARALLEL OpenMP region.

Detailed documentation on how to use OpenMP with MPFUN90 and QD are presented in the following document:

https://www.sharcnet.ca/help/index.php/OpenMP_Reduction_for_User_Defined_Data_Types

Large Arrays

Declaring large arrays in an MPFUN program often leads to compile errors like:

 "relocation truncated to fit r_x86_64_pc32 against .bss"

Even with the flag '-mcmodel large' in the compile command the error will persist, because there is a limit to the amount of data you can have allocated in static arrays for x86_64 architecture. This data segment is limited to 2GB. The data in COMMON plus any other statically declared arrays PLUS your code must fit in 2GB.

In order to overcome this problem use allocatable arrays declared in a module together with a short subroutine which allocates the arrays.

We illustrate these concepts by starting with a program 'betax.f90' which work fine for values of parameter 'Nsz' less than 37. Thus, if you compile it with

      integer, parameter :: Nsz=36

it works, but for any higher values it fails with error message:

 "relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol '...'"

To overcome this problem, we first copy program betax.f90 into a new file, say, betay.f90, and write a module called 'mp_data' and a subroutine called 'allocate_arrays' at the top of the new file. We move all the declarations of large arrays into the module, and declare them as 'allocatable'.

In the subroutine 'allocate_arrays' we do the allocations and in the main program we add the statements:

     USE mp_data
     ...
     call allocate_arrays
     ...

Below you will find the listings for the files 'betax.f90', 'betay.f90' and the 'HIST' file containing the commands to compile these files and submit jobs:

Math Toolkit

Running Mathinit

This toolkit provides and extensive example of how the mpfun package can be used. Read the header of files

mathinit.f90 
    and 
mathtool.f90 

found under

/opt/sharcnet/mpfun90/version/[flavor]/toolkit 

for an explanation what the package does. The Makefile in this directory shows how the mpfun libraries were linked to compile this sample program pair. The following steps shows the first initialization step followed by actually running the mathtool program to perform some examples such as performing an integration and displaying the value of pie. Note that the displayed zero cputimes are due to a bug in the mpfun current build which will be fixed in future updates on the clusters.

To run Mathtool you must first generate following two input files

const.dat 
  and 
quadts.dat 

which can be accomplished by running following command:

[roberpj@orc-login1:~/samples/mpfun90/math] cp /opt/sharcnet/mpfun90/20100825/intel1503/toolkit/mathinit .

Running Mathtool

Use the files created in the previous section to run mathtool as follows:

[roberpj@orc-login1:~/samples/mpfun90/math] chmod 700 mathtool
