Any thoughts on Intel's LLVM based compilers (icx, icpx, ifx)?
If one use the latest version of Intel classic compliers (icc, icpc, ifort) to compile something, a warning message is shown as below:
icc: remark #10441: The Intel(R) C++ Compiler Classic (ICC) is deprecated and will be removed from product release in the second half of 2023. The Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (ICX) is the recommended compiler moving forward. Please transition to use this compiler. Use '-diag-disable=10441' to disable this message.
So Intel will remove icc/icpc/ifort from oneAPI in mid 2023. not sure if they will provide the last version of them after then.
A popular molecular dynamics simulation program, GROMACS, has ended the support of icc/icpc, and started to support icx/icpx.
The Intel classic compiler (icc/icpc) is no longer supported in GROMACS. Use Intel’s newer clang-based compiler from oneAPI, or gcc. (https://manual.gromacs.org/current/install-guide/index.html)
IIRC, GROMACS is written in C/C++, and it is good with icx/icpx. Unfortunately, it seems that the fortran compiler ifx isn't as functional as ifort at the moment. CP2K doesn't support ifx for its "Incomplete Fortran standards support". (https://www.cp2k.org/dev:compiler_support)
I am wondering what is the OpenHPC teams' thought on this? It might be too premature to make any conclusion or decision though.
