NumPy and SciPy with ATLAS

We will compile NumPy and SciPy using GNU Compiler with the auto-optimized BLAS and LAPACK from ATLAS. If you are on Cray, run the following commands.

% module unload PrgEnv-cray

% module load PrgEnv-gnu

ATLAS

% cd $WORK/setup
% wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/math-atlas/files/Stable/3.10.1/atlas3.10.1.tar.bz2
% tar jxf atlas3.10.1.tar.bz2
% cd ATLAS
% wget http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.4.2.tgz
% mkdir build-gcc
% cd build-gcc
% ../configure --prefix=$WORK -Fa alg -fPIC --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=../lapack-3.4.2.tgz --cc=gcc
% make

% make check

% make install

Due to some optimization processes while making ATLAS, it might take up to a hour to complete.

NumPy

% cd $WORK/setup
% wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.8.0/numpy-1.8.0.tar.gz
% tar zxf numpy-1.8.0.tar.gz
% cd numpy-1.8.0/
% env ATLAS=$WORK $WORK/bin/python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95 |& tee build.log
% env ATLAS=$WORK $WORK/bin/python setup.py install
% cd ..
% python -c "import numpy; numpy.test()"

SciPy

% cd $WORK/setup
% wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.13.3/scipy-0.13.3.tar.gz
% tar zxf scipy-0.13.3.tar.gz
% cd scipy-0.13.3/
% $WORK/bin/python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95 |& tee build.log
% $WORK/bin/python setup.py install
% cd ..
% python -c "import scipy; scipy.test()"
