BLAS/LAPACK troubles configuring ALPS 1.3.5
by Kirill Shtengel 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me with configuring/compiling ALPS-1.3.5 on a Linux machine with AMD Opteron Processor. My problem seems to be making the configuration routine see either acml or blas/lapack libraries. From what I can tell, there are two separate installations of acml/blas/lapack libraries, one is the set of ACML libraries: [shtengel@gigio ~]$ ls /usr/local/acml3.6.0/ Doc gnu64 ReleaseNotes ReleaseNotes.acml_mv util [shtengel@gigio ~]$ ls /usr/local/acml3.6.0/gnu64/lib libacml.a libacml_mv.a libacml_mv.so libacml.so [shtengel@gigio ~]$ ls /usr/local/acml3.6.0/gnu64/include/ acml.h acml_mv.h acml_mv_m128.h Notice is that there is no gfortran64 subdirectory in /usr/local/acml3.6.0/ (I can't tell if it's really needed, but someone suggested it may be.) The other set of libraries is in a PGI installation and it includes ACML, BLAS and LAPACK libraries separately: ls /usr/local/pgi-7.2-3/linux86-64/7.2-3/lib 90alt.o libjpgdbg.so libpgf90_rpm1.a libpgnod_prof.a f90main.o libjpgprof.so libpgf90_rpm1.ipl libpgnod_prof_g.a hpfalt.o liblapack.a libpgf90_rpm1_p.a libpgnod_prof_hpmpi.a hpfmain.o liblapack.ipl libpgf90rtl.a libpgnod_prof_mpi2.a hpmpif.o libmem.il libpgf90rtl.ipl libpgnod_prof_mpi.a hugebss.ld libm.ipl libpgftnrtl.a libpgnod_prof_mvapich.a initmp.o libmpich.ipl libpgftnrtl.ipl libpgnod_prof_papi.a init_pgpf.o libnspgc.a libpghpf2.a libpgnod_prof_pfo.a libacml.a libnuma.so libpghpf.a libpgnod_prof_time.a libacml.ipl libnuma.so.1 libpghpf_mpi.a libpthread.ipl libacml_mp.a libpgbind.a libpghpf_mpi_p.a libstd.a libacml_mv.a libpgbind.so libpghpf_prof.a libstdz.a libblas.a libpgc.a libpghpf_rpm1.a libzceh.a libblas.ipl libpgc.ipl libpghpf_rpm1_p.a nonuma.o libC.a libpgf902.a libpghpf_rpm.a pgfalt.o libc.ipl libpgf902.ipl libpghpf_rpm_p.a pgfi8st.o libCz.a libpgf90.a libpghpf_smp.a pgfmain.o libfmpich.ipl libpgf90.ipl libpghpf_smp_p.a pgi.ld libhugetlbfs_pgi.a libpgf90_prof.a libpgmp.a subchk.o libintrinsics.il libpgf90_prof.ipl libpgmp.ipl trace_init.o [shtengel@gigio ~]$ ls /usr/local/pgi-7.2-3/linux86-64/7.2-3/include/ acml.h byteswap.h iso_fortran_env.mod omp_lib_kinds.mod sys acml_mv.h CC lib3f.h omp_lib.mod tmmintrin.h acml_mv_m128.h curses.h limits.h pglocal.f va_list.h alloca.h emmintrin.h math.h pglocal.h varargs.h ammintrin.h error.h mmintrin.h pmmintrin.h xmmintrin.h ansidecl.h float.h ncurses.h stdarg.h argp.h intrin.h omp.h stddef.h bits iso_c_binding.mod omp_lib.h stdlib.h (Notice the absence of blas.h and lapac.h header files, acml header files are in place).

Removing references to lapack (i.e. keeping only references to blas in the configuration options makes no difference whatsoever). In either case, I am getting " LAPACK support no" at the end of the configuration process, and subsequent use of make does not compile dmrg (which is what I intend to run). Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Kirill -- Kirill Shtengel Associate Professor Department of Physics & Astronomy UC Riverside, CA 92521 Tel: (951) 827-1058

Lanczos
by Sebastian Huber 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

I made use of the sparsediag 1.1 application part of alps-applications 1.3.4. The maximal interations for the eigenvalues MAX_ITERATIONS can be set in the parameter file. For the calculation of the eigenvectors (correlations) this parameter is not adjustable outside the source code (set to 10). I had to fix this for my purposes. I am sure the way I implemented it is not up to the standards, but it maybe interesting to note neverthless.

Winding numbers
by "Michał Maik" 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi, I am having a problem calculating the "Winding Number vs Energy" graph for certain models. When I do it for the "4-site mixed" I am not able to get it to work but if I use a "square lattice" with L=2 it seems to work fine. I am wondering how I have to define a model in order to calculate the winding numbers. Regards Michal Maik

sigma_y interaction
by Fernando Cucchietti 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hello, I probably know the answer to this already, but just wanted to check: I would like to use the Montecarlo code to simulate a system with a Hamiltonian that has the Sy operator, that is Sy=-I/2(Splus-Sminus). The worm and sse codes return a runtime error "can not convert complex number into real one". If I don't include de I constant (or (0.,1.) ) in the model.xml file the code starts, but then complains that it cannot simulate this term (which without the complex unit is non-Hermitian). I cannot rotate my basis because I also have the Sx operator, so I am stuck with Sy. Is there a way to do this? It looks like a no-no...

Exact Diagonalization for Bose-Hubbard
by Vipin Varma 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi I am trying the Lanczos method for solving the Bose-Hubbard model on a square lattice, to get the t/U dependence of the ground state energy per site. I tried a simple 2x1 cluster with open and periodic boundary conditions and I get a linear dependence for the energy on t/U; analytically (which I am reasonably sure is correct), I get a parabolic dependence for the energy on t/U, if I consider 2 bosons over 2 sites. Here is my parameter file: /////////////////////////// LATTICE_LIBRARY="../lattices.xml"; LATTICE="square lattice"; MODEL_LIBRARY="../models.xml"; MODEL="boson Hubbard"; U = 1; Nmax = 2; L=2; W =1; {t=0.1;} {t=0.01;} {t=0.02;} {t=0.03;} {t=0.04;} {t=0.05;} {t=0.06;} {t=0.07;} {t=0.08;} {t=0.09;} /////////////////// I have tried Nmax = 2,4,6, but all give me a linear dependence; also strangely, the energy range does not change much when I vary the value of U by orders of magnitude. I guess I am missing something simple. Any ideas will be appreciated. Vipin

Python distributions
by Matthias Troyer 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Dear ALPS developers and users, Since ALPS 2.0, to be released later this year in a beta version, will rely heavily on Python for data analysis I want to start a survey about the Python distributions you are using. We might be able to prepare compiled binary installation packages for the most common combinations of OS/compiler/Python distribution. Please reply to the list with the Python distribution you are using if you feel strongly about that distribution you are using now and don't want to change it when using ALPS 2.0 in the future. Matthias PS: you will always be able to compile ALPS from source against any distribution, but many people prefer the new binary installations that can be installed in less than a minute.

unit of temperature in the extended bose-hubbard model
by Fu-Jiun Jiang ITP 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

hello In the extended bose-hubbard model, what's the unit for the temperature T? Is it true that when one lets V = 1 (V is the nearest-neighbor repulsive interaction), then T = 0.01 really stands for T = 0.01/V? Thanks. Sincerely, Fu-Jiun
