Compile your own version

The Archer2 github repository provides a script which can be used to build ADIOS (version 1), e.g.,:

$ git clone https://github.com/ARCHER2-HPC/pe-scripts.git
$ cd pe-scripts
$ git checkout modules-2022-12
$ module load cray-hdf5-parallel
$ ./sh/adios.sh --prefix=/path/to/install/location

where the --prefix option determines the install location. See the Archer2 github repository for further details and options.

Using ADIOS

Configuration details for ADIOS are obtained via the utility adios_config which should be available in the PATH once ADIOS is installed. For example, to recover the compiler options required to provide serial C include files, issue:

$ adios_config -s -c

Use adios_config --help for a summary of options.

To compile and link application, such statements can be embedded in a Makefile via, e.g.,

ADIOS_INC := $(shell adios_config -s -c)
ADIOS_CLIB := $(shell adios_config -s -l)

See the ADIOS user manual for further details and examples.
