FAMOUS

Differences between pathscale and PGI FAMOUS jobs on HECToR

Latest HECToR jobs are xdbuc (pathscale) and xdbud (PGI).

Only a couple of changes are required to go from a pathscale to PGI run. The differences between the jobs above are:

$FAMOUS_DIR/overrides/pgi_O2_Kieee_fastsse
(to get correct PGI compile options)
Running with MEAD Diagnostics: OFF
(don’t work for PGI)

Pathscale gives slightly better performance than PGI for FAMOUS and for the UM generally. See timings.
