When issue the run via MPI, the compute node fails with an illegal instruction I believe many AMD processors lack BMI, BMI2, ADX, etc. I don't know about that particular model. Try adding -mno-bmi to your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to clear the BMI/BMI2 issue. I don't know about the other cpu flags. GCC is good about taking a cpu feature, like ADX, and using -madx and -mno-adx. An exception is RDRAND, whits omits the A for some reason; you use -mrdrnd. Jeff
