[petsc-users] Compiling PETSC with Intel OneAPI compilers and OpenMPI

[Satish Balay]

I see Intel compilers here are building x86_64 binaries - that get run on the Arm M1 CPU - perhaps there are issues here with this mode of usage..

What does intel compilers provide you for this use case?

Why not use xcode/clang with gfortran here - i.e native ARM binaries?

So also, any guideline on how to interface PETSc with a fortran code and personal experience is also most appreciated!
