    # Using ARM Partition

    For testing your application on the ARM partition,
    you need to prepare a job script for that partition or use the interactive job:
    
    ```
    salloc -A PROJECT-ID -p p01-arm
    ```
    
    On the partition, you should reload the list of modules:
    
    ```
    ml architecture/aarch64
    ```
    
    For compilation, `gcc` and `OpenMPI` compilers are available.
    Hence, the compilation process should be the same as on the `x64` architecture.
    
    Let's have the following `hello world` example:
    
    ```
    #include "mpi.h"
    #include "omp.h"
    
    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
            int rank;
            MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
            MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
            #pragma omp parallel
            {
                    printf("Hello on rank %d, thread %d\n", rank, omp_get_thread_num());
            }
            MPI_Finalize();
    }
    ```
    
    You can compile and run the example:
    
    ```
    ml OpenMPI/4.1.4-GCC-11.3.0
    mpic++ -fopenmp hello.cpp -o hello
    mpirun -n 4 ./hello
    ```
    
    Please see [gcc options](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html) for more advanced compilation settings.
    No complications are expected as long as the application does not use any intrinsic for `x64` architecture.
    If you want to use intrinsic,
    [SVE](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102699/0100/Optimizing-with-intrinsics) instruction set is available.
