OpenFoam on Power8 Little Endian Error: Unknown function type forceCoeffs

My goal is to get OpenFoam 2.3.0 running on the new Power8 Little Endian with Ubuntu 14.10.
I have managed to compile the program and run some first tests including MPI (OpenMPI 1.8.3). Now I try to run the motorbike tutorial. The first part runs well, but when it start the motorBikeLES part picofoam exits with an error: [7] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR: [7] Unknown function type forceCoeffs (full log file see in attachement.) At the same time I compiled an Intel version on Red Hat from the same sources. This one runs fine with OpenMPI 1.6.5. When I compare the known function types between Power8 and Intel, I see that two are missing on Power8: forceCoeffs forces all the other types match between Intel and Power8. Does anybody have a clue where I should ask to search for the bug? I am new to OpenFOAM so I don't have much background about the program or fluid dynamics. So it maybe that I didn't provide all the necessary information. Please let me know if you need more details. |

I have solved the problem, although I still don't know what the root cause was.
Just using xlC instead of g++ to create libforces.so helps. xlC: V13.1.1 g++: 4.9.1 I have had similar problems before where g++ simply failed to create some .so files because it got confused about some symbols. xlC always could solve it. It is a bit weird because to my knowledge, both call ld under the covers. But perhaps with different switches. And of course: it is log.pisoFoam not picoFoam. I used the motorBike tutorial in pisoFoam and not the one in simpleFoam. |
