Building and Running DMRG++

Required Software

\begin{enumerate}

\item GNU C++ or LLVM CLANG++ (C++11 is used)

\item (required) The BLAS and LAPACK library.

\item (required) HDF5

\item (required) PsimagLite. See below for details.

\item (required) boost-devel (boost-spirit) for Ainur Only headers files are used; boost runtime is not used.

\item (optional) GSL (GNU Scientific library)

\item (optional) make or gmake (only needed to use the Makefile)

\item (optional) perl (only needed to run the configure.pl script)

\end{enumerate}

Downloading DMRG++

Create a directory somewhere and cd to it.

git clone https://code.ornl.gov/gonzalo_3/PsimagLite
cd PsimagLite/
git checkout features
git pull origin features 

cd ../
git clone https://code.ornl.gov/gonzalo_3/dmrgpp
cd dmrgpp/
git checkout features
git pull origin features

Please also read https://g1257.github.io/availabilityOfSoftware.html

Preparing your Makefile

Create a file anywhere called /path/to/somewhere/myconfig.psiTag

Now have a look at dmrgpp/TestSuite/inputs/ConfigBase.psiTag DO NOT Edit this file. You may override items in that file using your myconfig.psiTag. For example, to use openblas instead of regular blas, you may write in your myconfig.psiTag

	dependency BLAS = LDFLAGS += -lopenblas
	dependency LAPACK= ()

For the psiTag syntax see the beginning of PsimagLite/scripts/PsiTag.pm

Compiling and Linking DMRG++

 cd PsimagLite/lib
 ./configure.pl -c /path/to/somewhere/myconfig.psiTag
 make -j something
 cd ../../
 cd dmrgpp/src
 ./configure.pl -c /path/to/somewhere/myconfig.psiTag
 make -j something

Above something refers to the number of cores you want to use for parallelizing the make run.

Running DMRG++

Assuming you are in dmrgpp/src, copy input2.inp to dmrgpp/src with

cp ../TestSuite/inputs/input2.inp .

and then you may run with

./dmrg -f ../TestSuite/inputs/input2.inp

You will now have two files a data2.hdf5 and an ASCII file runForinput2.cout. The name data2 is obtained from the corresponding label in the input file, in this case input2.inp. Normally the code writes stdout to runForinput2.cout for an input called input2.inp, and stderr to the terminal. If you would like to override the default inferred name runForinput2.cout you may use ./dmrg -f ../TestSuite/inputs/input2.inp -l myoutputfile If you would like stdout be written to the terminal say -l -
