Running Theano on Mammouth

To run Theano on the Mammouth cluster, follow these simple steps:

• Make sure to source Fred’s .local.bashrc file. It contains all the goodies for using the latest and greatest (optimized) libraries (numpy, scipy, etc.)

  source /home/bastienf/.local.bashrc
  

  Perhaps even put this in your .bashrc

• set config.blas.ldflags to '-lmkl -lguide -fopenmp' (see config to know how)

  Note: the -lguide flag works, however the fix should probably be considered temporary. Intel has deprecated libguide.so in favor of the newer library libiomp5.so. However, both libraries are mutually exclusive and one component (theano, numpy or scipy?) already seems to be using libguide.so (hence -liomp5 causes a linking error when compiling thunks)
