A problem when installing the raxml-ng in ARM HPC

[shengxinzhuan]

Hello, raxml-ng developer !
I am working on an arm v8 HPC. Today I was tried to install the raxml-ng from the source code.
The command line I used to install like this:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/amkozlov/raxml-ng
cd raxml-ng
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DSTATIC_BUILD=ON -DENABLE_RAXML_SIMD=OFF -DENABLE_PLLMOD_SIMD=OFF ..
make

But it failed because it without a file name : cpuid.h

/home/hzw/arm_software/biosoft/raxml-ng-master/src/util/sysutil.cpp:2:10: fatal error: cpuid.h: No such file or directory
    2 | #include <cpuid.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/raxml_module.dir/util/sysutil.cpp.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/raxml_module.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

How could I edit the code to make it pass?

I'm having the same problem on ARM aarch64 architecture. Were you ever able to figure out what needed to be changed to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi @shengxinzhuan @davidecarlson

I don't have access to a "real" ARM HPC system at the moment. However, I just committed changes that allow to compile and run raxml-ng on Apple M1, which is also based on ARM64 architecture.

Could you please try it out? Also, what kind of ARM system are you using?

Hi Alexey,
Thanks for the update! With your changes, I just built this successfully using gcc 8.5 + OpenMPI. Interestingly, I get an internal compiler error when trying to build it with gcc 12.1 + OpenMPI:

during GIMPLE pass: vect
/lustre/projects/hpc_support_ookami/raxml-ng/libs/pll-modules/libs/libpll/src/parsimony.c: In function ‘pll_parsimony_build’:
/lustre/projects/hpc_support_ookami/raxml-ng/libs/pll-modules/libs/libpll/src/parsimony.c:204:19: internal compiler error: in vect_transform_reduction, at tree-vect-loop.cc:7457
  204 | PLL_EXPORT double pll_parsimony_build(pll_parsimony_t * pars,

I presume this is a GCC bug and not an issue with the code itself.

I'm building this on a Fujitsu A64FX HPC cluster named Ookami.

Incidentally, if getting access to a "real" ARM HPC system would be beneficial to improving raxml-ng, I could help get you (free) access to Ookami. I'm part of the support team for the cluster, and we're always looking for folks who are interested in using it to build/test/tune their codes for A64FX in particular and Aarch64 in general.

If that would be of any use or interest to you or your team, please let me know and I can reach out with more information.

Regardless, thank you for the updates to the code!
Best,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Hi Alexey, Thanks for the update! With your changes, I just built this successfully using gcc 8.5 + OpenMPI.

great!

I presume this is a GCC bug and not an issue with the code itself.

Yes it looks like gcc12 outsmarted itself, it tried to autovectorize the code but failed.

If that would be of any use or interest to you or your team, please let me know and I can reach out with more information.

Thanks! This sounds interesting, if it's not too much overhead on both sides :)

Best,
Alexey

Great, thanks, Alexey. I will send you some information via email unless you have different preference. Is the email at your h-its.org page still valid?

Thanks,

@davidecarlson yes, this is my current e-mail.

@amkozlov Hi，thanks for reply. I am using the ARM HPC name kunpeng, which made by huawei. It look more like an Android cpu which install an centos system. I try to use the M1 version raxml-ng, but it don't work because apple's instruction set may be different to the general purpose instruction set.
The error look like this : cannot execute binary file.
The way to solve in the general arm cpu may be write an cpuid.h file to the raxml-ng. And huawei give an example in here.But I don't know how to edit it cause my poor c language.

I was able to build raxml-ng on openEuler 22.03 LTS ARM64 (Kunpeng CPU) without any issues!
Both ./bin/raxml-ng and ./bin/raxml-ng-static seem to work without any issues!
