[Users] questions about compilation

[Roland Haas]

Hello Chia Hui,

sorry for the long delay, I got caught up with Christmas preparations.

No I do not think that it took so long to compile on edison before. I
am tempted to see if using the gnu compiler would be any faster. This
is right now so painfully slow as to render the system almost unusable.
it also does not help if one tries to compile in /dev/shm or from
within an interactive job so the "usual" remedies for slow compilation
do not apply.

If you want to use a different cluster then I would try and start from
the files for a similar, working one. Eg for Cray machines the
bluewaters-gnu files are a good starting point or maybe the cori ones
(it being a newer cray).

We have a wiki page: 

https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine

that describes the procedure and would be happy to help out on the
mailing list (or on the system if one of us has an account there).

Yours,
Roland
