Is the Intel compiler a prerequisite to build GraphMat?

Dear folks,

I've downloaded the package from https://graphalytics.org/software, the benchmark plus GraphMat. However, GraphMat fails to build, with errors such as:

mpic++ -cxx=g++ -fopenmp --std=c++11 -I/usr/include/mpi/ -I./include -I./include/GMDP -O3 -flto -fwhole-program -march=native -o bin/LDA src/LDA.cpp -lboost_serialization

I assume these are intrinsics provided by icc?
mpich v3.3.1, gcc v.9.1.0

Thanks,

Hello, @whatsthecraic. In principle, GCC should work with GraphMat, but we do not use it in practice for performance reasons, therefore it is not well tested. I would advice trying with ICC.

yeah at the end I've managed to compile it with OpenMPI + ICC. On my computer, for some reason mpich did not terminate when building the program.
