The TL;DR of it is that the xl compiler creates a function dictionary for every function imported in fortran modules, and since petsc fortran interfaces seem to import entire packages writ-large this exceeds the number of dictionary entries (2**21):

This sounds reasonable  - but the change might be tedious [to make without breaking some required dependency]. Perhaps it will also help gfortran RAM requirements..

I’m not familiar at all with how the interfaces are generated so I don’t even know if this is possible.

I think the compiler may be hitting an internal limit of the number of subroutines within a module. There are 358 subroutines contained in the expanded petscmatmod.F90. Removing 4 subroutines will allow the compile to complete successfully, so the limit must be 354 subroutines. Is it possible for you to bust up petscmatmod into multiple modules? I'll package up the reproducer and pass it on to the compiler development team.

I'll pass your request to the LLNL person I know that is dealing with math libraries for CORAL-2.

PETSc is potentially undergoing a rather transformative rewrite over the next few years and we’d like to gather current usage data to get a better idea of where PETSc fits into our users workflows. But we aren’t sure how to gather this data (we don’t particularly want to scrape and silently send it off without users consent/knowledge) absent user questionnaires and HPC usage statistics.

PETSc has 2 types of fortran bindings, “ftn-custom” and “ftn-auto” (technically 3 including the F90 files, but those simply call either of the two preceding ones), a copy of which you will find in every src directory. As the names imply ftn-auto is auto generated while ftn-custom is hand-written.

It is therefore odd that configure did not use the same methodology for fortran compilers. I will relay this on our side.

I got them all via grep, so there may be some duplicates here or there. As for using shorter names, this is also something we can look at, but since none of the other compilers have had issues with this I’m not sure this is the change to make.

I'm not sure which projects at LLNL are using PETSc or if they chose to build their own version. I did however provide a single precision version upon request that was integrated with MVAPICH2-MPI instead of the IBM-provided Spectrum-MPI. Here's what's available on the systems today.

Let me know if you run into trouble configuring and building petsc, I can point you in the right direction. I’ve attached a “reconfigure” script with this email, it contains all of the arguments I used to configure petsc successfully on Lassen. If you place it into your $PETSC_DIR (i.e. the folder titled “petsc” and that contains a “configure” file) and run:

I have included a verbose full log of my make run (which includes a comprehensive rundown of the environment) as well as a separate file containing the error message and stack trace from the compiler. Additionally I have also included the file which I believe is causing the error. Let me know if there is anything else I should send.
